Frane Selak Lucky? Unlucky? Destined?
Lucky? Unlucky? Destined?
Born in 1929 and from Croatia, Frane Selak’s terrifyingly unlucky but incredibly lucky timeline goes like this:
- 1962 - train flips off the track and crashes into a river killing 17 people, Selak survives.
- 1963 - plane crashes killing 19 people but Selak is sucked out of a malfunctioning door and lands in a haystack. He survives.
- 1966 - bus skids off the road and kills 4 people, Selak survives
- 1970 - car catches on fire but he manages to escape before it explodes. He survives.
- 1973 - car catches on fire and shoots flames through the air vents. He survives.
- 1995 - hit by a bus. He survives.
- 1996 - misses head on collision in his car but falls off the road. He’s ejected from his seat and holds onto a tree as the car plummets 300 foot down. He survives.
- 2003 - he wins about a million dollars in the lottery
- 2010 - he gives away the rest of his money to family and friends
I can hear him saying to death in the voice of Dikembe Mutombo after each near death experience. Hey Death No No No Not today!
