3 bizzare moments

Have you ever had something weirdly lucky happen to you? Maybe you found $20 lying on the ground? Or perhaps you were just in the right place at the right time? Well amazing as that is, there are some people out there who have survived against near-impossible odds, and lived to tell the tale. From a woman who spent 80 minutes trapped in freezing water, to a soldier who fell over four miles without a parachute, let's look at even more of the luckiest people who survived the impossible.

1. Saved by smartphone, people are always complaining that we're too hooked on our smartphones for our own good, but there's one Ukrainian soldier who would heavily disagree. While engaged in the frontlines of combat, the soldier's squad came under heavy enemy fire, and one of the bullets found its target. Fearing the worst, the soldier hit the deck and investigated his injury. But, instead of a deadly wound, he found this(image). The bullet had shot straight into his phone instead. Unbelievably, the phone with help of a metal dog tag, absorbed the full impact from the 7.62mm bullet and blocked it completely.

2.Sky-High Sports. Back in the 1920s, health and safety wasn't quite as stringent as it is now. So, stunt women like Gladys Roy got away with performing all kinds of dangerous tricks. You know, like changing the tire of a biplane while it was in mid-flight. Man, it's lucky enough she didn't fall to her doom right then, but Gladys actually secured her fame with an even more death-defying stunt. Along with fellow stunt woman Ivan Unger, she climbed atop the wings of a biplane, waited until it was over half a mile high in the air, and then started playing a game of tennis. Yeah, you read that right. Technically, it wasn't a proper game of tennis, it's pretty impossible to hit a ball to someone when you're both traveling through the air at 80 miles per hour. And the duo's legs were strapped to the plane, so they couldn't just slide off. But considering they'd left the aircraft on a basic autopilot, a strong bout of turbulence could have sent the plane plummeting to its doom. Amazingly though, both survived without a scratch, and went on to do it many more times. Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase mile-high club, doesn't it? I can think of one thing that's far less risky than standing on a plane though.

3. Meteor Madness. Everybody's been woken up at some point by a bump in the night. As scary as it can be though, it's usually something small like a door slamming, or your cat knocking something over. However, when Canadian Ruth Hamilton was abruptly woken up one night in October 2021, it was by something far worse. An ear-splitting boom made Ruth bolt upright from her bed, and as she did so, she realized her hair was singed. Confused and disoriented, she looked around her dark room and saw a gaping hole in the ceiling. Even more worrisome though was what lay on her pillow, a red hot, fist-sized rock less than an inch from where her head would've been. As unbelievable as it sounds, a meteorite from outer space had smashed straight through the roof of her house and landed on her pillow. Considering meteorites can travel up to a blazing fast 44 miles a second, the fact that Ruth's head wasn't turned into human jam is nothing short of a miracle.
