2.The Luckiest (or Unluckiest) Man Alive

Hear about Frane Selak of Croatia, a music teacher who cheated death seven times before claiming his life as a lottery winner in 2003.

Originally, Selak survived a train crash in 1962 where 17 people were killed. A year later he bailed out of a defective plane, landing in a haystack alive, nineteen employees were burnt alive.

I read a report that once he barely survived a bus which fell of a bridge into a river, twice his car caught fire, once he was driving his car which fell off a bridge into a gorge and yet he survived all these accidents without any fatalities.

His death tales made him be referred to as ‘The Luckiest Man Ever to Live’.

On the 23rd of April in 2015, Chile’s Calbuco Volcano erupted and in the process there was a rare event called a dirty thunderstorm. Electric discharge occurred through the ash clouds- something observed during huge eruptions like the one that occurred in Iceland’s Eyjafjallajökull in 2010.
