All these people are really the most unlucky people in the world! I just can't believe that all these accidents could have happened to them.

Tsutomu Yamaguchi. He was in Hiroshima on a business trip on August 6, 1945. While getting off the tram, less than 3 kilometers from the Japanese, a nuclear explosion occurred. He survived and returned to his hometown of Nagasaki, which was dropped the next bomb a few days later! He survived again and death came for him already in 2010. John Lin, nicknamed "Calamity". The Englishman John Lean got into trouble so often that he was nicknamed "The Calamity". In total, he suffered 16 major accidents, including a fall from the cart, when he immediately fell under the wheels of the car. He also fell from a tree and broke his arm, survived a lightning strike, was in a mine during a collapse, was hit by a stone fired from a catapult. Survived after a bus accident, drowned in a swamp, after which, as a child, he was washed and disinfected by the stomach. Roy Sullivan. The chances of being struck by lightning are 1 in 3000. Roy Sullivan was struck by lightning a total of 7 times in his life, the chances of surviving in such cases are zero. Once lightning struck him along with his wife. But with all this, Roy lived to a decent 71 years of age. Kostis Mitsotakis. In 2012, all the inhabitants of a Spanish village bought lottery tickets distributed by the local association of housewives. As it turned out, every single resident of the village of Sodeto won. This is £600 million. And only one person did not share the general fun - Kostis Mitsotakis. Surprisingly, out of 70 houses in the village, only the house of Mitsotakis turned out to be bypassed by the distributors. Naturally, even the girl left him after that. Ann Hodges. Meteorites usually burn up in the Earth's atmosphere before reaching the surface. And if they fly, then several times a year and then somewhere in the desert or over the ocean. But only once in the history of mankind, a meteorite hit a person. This happened in 1954, when an American Ann Hodges lay down to take a nap on the sofa and, breaking through the roof, injured her thigh. Melanie Martinez. Received the title of America's unluckiest woman after a hurricane claimed her fourth home in the last 50 years. Her homes were destroyed by Hurricane Betsy (1965), Juan (1985), George (1998), and Katrina (2005). In 2012, the most powerful hurricane Isaac was the last and fifth in a row through Melanie's home. Violet Jessop. Was a flight attendant on the Titanic when it sank. But even before that, she worked on the Titanic's "big brother" Olympic in 1911 when it collided with another ship and sank. Then in 1916 she was serving as a nurse on the Britannica when that too sank! She survived all three incidents and lived until 1971. John Wade Agan. A 47-year-old man was robbed at gunpoint while driving his taxi and was locked in his own trunk. He was stabbed in the chest with a butcher's knife in 2008. He also claims that in 2009 he was bitten by two snakes at the same time. In the news in 2011, he was struck by lightning while talking on a landline phone at his home in Florida. Henry Zeiland. Thought he escaped death. After Zeiland broke up with his girlfriend in 1883, she committed suicide. Her brother decided to kill Henry. But the bullet fired from the gun only grazed Henry's face and got stuck in a tree that grew nearby. Years later, he decided to cut down the tree. To complete the task, Henry used dynamite. As a result of the explosion, a bullet shot out of a tree and hit him right in the head, killing him on the spot. English couple Jason and Jenny Lawrence. They were attacked by terrorists more than the heroes of famous militants. On September 11, they visited a shopping mall in New York. Many residents and tourists were affected that day as a result of the attack, Jason and Jenny were among them. Four years later, on July 7, 2005, they were in London during the worst terrorist attack in British history. Several bombs exploded in the subway, killing more than 50 people. But that's not all. Three years later, they went on vacation again, this time to the exotic Indian city of Mumbai. At this time, riots with the use of weapons began there, as a result, many people died. The couple continued their vacation as if nothing had happened. Dede Kosvar, "Tree Man". The problems of Dede Koswar from the Indonesian island of Java began after he fell and cut his knee at the age of 15. Soon, warts appeared on his body, which spread to his arms and legs. He was very unlucky, because his body underwent such terrible changes as a result of immunodeficiency. The surgeons cut off 13 pounds of warts once, but they all grew back. Wilmer McLean. Civil War in the United States of America, in the literal sense, took place in front of this man. On Wilmer McLean's farm, the first Battle of Bull Run took place, and a year later, the second. In total, 20,000 people died on his lands. He decided to run away from the war and moved to Virginia, but she followed him. One of the last fights also took place on the grounds of McLean's new property and even a truce was signed in his living room! Eric Norrie. He made headlines when a shark bit off two of his legs in 2013. But this was not the first time he had cheated death. Previously, Eric was struck by lightning and survived a rattlesnake bite! Robert Todd Lincoln. I personally knew several US presidents, and three of them did not die of natural causes. Robert Lincoln was the eldest son of the legendary President Lincoln. On April 14, 1865, 22-year-old Robert was unfortunate enough to be present at the murder of his father by actor John Booth at Ford's Theatre. On July 2, 1881, President James Garfield was assassinated before his eyes. After some time, the next president, William McKinley, was also shot and Robert witnessed this assassination. Thereafter, Lincoln retired from public service forever. Joan Rogers Maybe the most unfortunate loser of all time. Here short list terrible things that happened to her: she fell off a cruise ship, she drowned in a swamp, she was struck by lightning twice, once her pantyhose pinched her legs so badly that they caused nerve damage, now she can't wear shoes. Joan also received a bat on the head, she was strangled and robbed.

This collection really contains information about people who are simply haunted by failure. True, some of them can be called, at the same time, lucky, because they survived in these difficult situations.

Probably, the truth is told that there are lucky people who are lucky and who can get out of the water dry. And there are losers who do not even understand why they are being punished. Do you think this division into "lucky ones" and "losers" is fair?

Japanese survivor of Hiroshima and Nagasaki

This man, Tsutomu Yamaguchi, was born and lived in Nagasaki. On August 6, 1945, he was in Hiroshima on a business trip. On this day, he was about to leave the city, but on the way to the station he remembered that he had forgotten the documents necessary for travel clearance (do not forget, military time).

I had to return, but it was at this time that the US military dropped on Japan atomic bomb"Baby". The epicenter of the explosion was only 3 kilometers from Tsutomu Yamaguchi's hotel.

The explosion severely damaged the health of the Japanese. He was temporarily blind, deaf, and received burns on the left side of his body. The doctors were able to help him, and after a while he went to Nagasaki.

Well, on August 9, the bomb was already dropped on this locality. Again, "Fat Man" fell three kilometers away from Tsutomu's work. True, this time he was not injured - he was lucky.

In 2009, the Japanese authorities officially recognized Tsutomu as the only person who survived both bombings. True, a year later Tsutomu died of stomach cancer, at the age of 93.

The only resident of the city who did not win the lottery

In 2012, residents of the small Spanish town of Sodeto bought lottery tickets. At that time, a nationwide drawing was held, and the winning amount was huge, about 950 million US dollars.

You can imagine, all the inhabitants of the town were the winners of the lottery, and each received some part of the prize. It is worth noting that there are only 70 families in this town, so there is no reason to be surprised.

Only the only resident of the city who could not / did not want to purchase a lottery ticket did not win. He probably still regrets it.

Cruise ship stewardess who survived the wrecks of the Titanic, Britannica, Olympic

In 1911, a 23-year-old girl, Violetta Jessop, took a job as a flight attendant on the Olympic, a cruise ship that is almost a complete replica of the Titanic. The Olympic collided with another ship that year. It was not the worst crash, and the stewardess managed to escape.

A year later, Violetta was already working on the Titanic, also a flight attendant. As we all know, the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank. She was able to escape on a lifeboat with 16 other passengers, and was taken aboard the Carpathia.

And finally, during World War II, Violetta worked as a stewardess on the ship Britannica. This ship hit a mine and sank very quickly. However, Violetta managed to escape again on a lifeboat.

The woman lived for quite a long time, and died a natural death in 1971.

The most unfortunate Englishman

This is how the British media call John Calamity, an Englishman who constantly finds himself in difficult situations.

He's survived being hit by a car, lightning strikes, car accidents, and more. In total, there were 16 such situations dangerous to his life. All these cases undermined John's health, but he is alive and well. However, he really can be called the most unfortunate Briton.

"Wonderful" vacation in the Bahamas

Eric Norrie one unlucky day for him decided to go on vacation to the Bahamas. There he was overtaken by a shark while swimming. The shark bit off a large piece of his calf, but was driven off by Eric's stepfather.

Not having time to recover, Eric got into a new difficult situation- he was struck by lightning. Well, after (or during) the hospital, he was bitten by a poisonous snake.

Probably, such a rest is worse than any hard work. Although Eric is not discouraged, and continues to be cheerful.

We often say: “How lucky he is!” Although we don't know exactly what this concept means. If you explain briefly and easily, then luck is a positive resolution life situations. Some people are lucky in the workplace, others are happy in personal life, others win the lottery, and there are the luckiest people who are constantly doing well, as if they had chronic luck. Even if something starts badly, then it suddenly turns into a happy ending. The names of such minions of fate can often be seen on the pages of newspapers or on television.

The luckiest person in the world is Frain Selak, a Croatian music teacher. During his life, he repeatedly found himself in terrible situations, but he always managed to get away with it. A series of his troubles began in 1962.

And again, three years later, he experienced a strong shock. The bus he was on went off the road. As a result, many died. And our lucky man, again in a state of shock, received only minor injuries.

Another incident

The next event happened in 1970 when Selak was driving in his own car. Suddenly, the car caught fire. In a matter of seconds, the Croat managed to get out of the burning car. In a moment it exploded. Frain was unharmed.

The next incident happened three years later. The old one sprayed gasoline directly onto the running engine. There was a fire. This time, Frain Selak was left without hair - and nothing more.

Then for 22 years the luckiest man in the world lived quietly. Until one day he was hit by a bus in his own hometown. Doctors during the examination stated the absence of any wounds at all. Only shock.

Last crash

A year later, Selak set off to travel in his car. After turning on the road in the mountains, the Croat suddenly saw a truck that was rushing straight at him. He jumped out of the car, which stopped over a cliff, and hung on a tree. It was from there that he watched his car fly off into the abyss. The result is a mild shock.

Fortune

In his declining years, fortune did not turn away from the music teacher. He was lucky to win a huge amount of money in the lottery.

What happened next in the life of a Croat? Different sources give different information. According to some reports, he distributed all the money he won to his relatives so that he would no longer tempt fate. The ego plans were to build a small chapel. Another source says that the luckiest man in the world bought a house, a car and married a woman 20 years younger than him. Frain Selak also considered his previous four marriages to be disasters.

The luckiest people on earth live in peace, not even expecting any luck.

Incredible Facts

If you think that you are unlucky or something goes wrong, trust me, there are people who are much worse off.

Some inhabitants of our planet are simply doomed to live with terrible defects, and there are those who can be called obvious outsiders among others.

And against their background, many problems seem insignificant and not so terrible. Take a look at this list of people.

1. Big lottery win

The whole village won the lottery, except for one guy. Every year on the eve of Catholic Christmas in Spain, large sums of money are played in the El Gordo lottery, which translates as "Fat Man".

The inhabitants of a tiny village called Sodeto celebrated their joint victory in the Christmas lottery for a long time. 70 families, with the exception of one single man, decided to buy lottery tickets and mark the same number, which, in the end, turned out to be lucky.

The total winnings amounted to 950 million dollars. This fabulous money was divided among all the inhabitants of the town. A happy accident made almost all the inhabitants of a small Spanish town rich in a matter of hours.

As a result, ordinary farmers, builders, as well as unemployed residents have become wealthy people. Each received several million dollars and thanked providence for taking the risk of participating in this lottery.

However, among all these lucky ones, there was still one unfortunate named Kostis Mitsotakis (Costis Mitsotakis). The poor guy simply ignored the opportunity to buy a ticket and mark the winning number with everyone.

Or, more likely, the women from the housewives' association who were selling the tickets forgot to knock on Kostis' door. As a result, he became the only one in the village who was left without a prize fund.

2. Lightning strike a person

It is said that lightning does not strike twice in the same place or in the same object. However, the American Roy Sullivan became famous due to the fact that lightning struck him as many as seven times.

young caretaker national park in Shenandoah, Virginia, entered the Guinness Book of Records as the person who was most often struck by lightning. This kind of record for the number of hits by a terrible element made Sullivan famous all over the world.

The chances of being struck by lightning are about 1 in 3000. And to get struck by lightning 7 times you need to really "try". The poor fellow, obviously, should be ranked among the unlucky. However, after so many lightning strikes, the American survived. Perhaps he is lucky?

If you think that after another trouble, Roy became more careful, then you are mistaken. He did not stay at home or avoid the weather. The last lightning strike caught the American on a fishing trip.

In addition to this trouble, Roy was attacked by a bear. However, being not even in the best physical shape, the American managed to cope with the animal and return the fish, which the bear intended to steal. This fishing, according to Sullivan himself, will be remembered for a long time. After all, in addition to the already familiar lightning, he was also attacked by an animal.

3. Stray bullet

Henry Zeigland could be called lucky, if you do not know the whole story to the end. Back in 1883, the young man broke up with his bride. From grief, the girl fell into a terrible depression, and after long tears and suffering, she laid hands on herself.

The elder brother of the unfortunate suicide promised to avenge his sister. He swore to kill Henry and, after tracking him down at night, shot at young man. The bullet flew near the face, but did not hit him, but got stuck in a tree trunk. Considering his sister's offender dead, the man fired the last bullet into himself.

However, Henry was lucky. He wasn't even hurt. Having received only minor scratches, the young man safely reached the house, after which he considered himself a real lucky man.

But the story didn't end there. Many years later, Zeigland decided to cut down the tree in which the bullet that had once been intended for him was stuck. The task was not easy, so Henry decided to blow it up with a few sticks of dynamite.

As a result of the explosion, the released bullet flew right into the unfortunate head. Zeigland died on the spot. It was rumored that as if the bullet had been waiting for its victim all these years and at the most unexpected moment treacherously and vilely took revenge.

4. The hairiest person

Ladies, dissatisfied with the fact that their men are too hairy, probably find fault. Since there is so much hair on Yu Junchan's body, it's hard to imagine. This Chinese man is officially recognized as the hairiest man in the world.

As a result of a rare disease, almost 96 percent of the man's body was covered with dense vegetation. The poor man underwent surgery to remove hair from his ears, as his hearing began to deteriorate. And the doctors urgently had to intervene so that Yu Junchan would not go deaf.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that due to the abundant vegetation on the body, many take the Chinese for an animal. Hair does not grow only on the palms and soles of a man's feet. Experts have calculated that on average there are 41 hairs per square centimeter. Doctors call such a rare disease atavism.

However, the guy did not become depressed. On the contrary, Junchan decided to become famous due to his unusual appearance. On the website www.maohai.com, the hairiest man in the world posts his photos. Many people visit his page every day.

Thus, the enterprising and not desperate Chinese decided to "unwind" himself and become a new star of our time. It is also known that the dream of a hairy Chinese man is to marry a good girl and create a full-fledged family.

5. Unhappy woman

The most unfortunate woman lives in America. Melanie Martinez, native of Louisiana, in 4 terrible elements she lost 4 houses. Her last home was destroyed in 2005 when the infamous Hurricane Katrina hit the city. After that, Melanie got the title of the most unlucky woman in the New World.

However, the troubles in the woman's life were just beginning. The organizers of the popular American TV show decided to help the unfortunate. Her temporary dilapidated housing has been transformed beyond recognition.

A whole team of specialists worked throughout the week to ensure that her modest dwelling became a home suitable for normal life. About $20,000 was spent on making good repairs and equipping the house with the necessary appliances.

According to Melanie herself, for some time she even began to consider herself the happiest woman in the world. However, fate decreed otherwise, not allowing the woman to enjoy her new home for a long time.

On August 29, the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, another element hit the town. The ruthless hurricane Isaac demolished all the houses in the area, and he did not spare Melanie's new home either. Once again, a natural disaster caused the Martinez family to remain on the street.

The woman herself and her entire family were rescued by boat along with five cats and three dogs. Everything else was lost. Within 10 years, the woman lost five houses in five elements. However, Melanie herself considers it a miracle that she and all members of her family survived.

Perhaps the woman's salvation lies in moving to a town that natural disasters are bypassed.

6. Unlucky person

John Line was recognized as the most unlucky man in Foggy Albion. For my short life the Briton got into car accidents several times, survived a lightning strike, fell off a cliff. In total, the man was on the verge of death 16 times.

A series of failures haunted Mr. Line from birth. He was the fifth child in a poor peasant family. He was born with a congenital lung disease.

Doctors did not give any comforting predictions about whether the baby would survive or not. However, thanks to special care and medication, the boy managed to get back on his feet. But a series of failures haunted him throughout his later life.

The first most dangerous moment for his life arose when the baby was barely a year and a half. The child found a certain bottle with a very strong disinfectant. Childish curiosity caused little Line to be taken to the hospital, where doctors performed a gastric lavage on him. Thanks to the prompt intervention of doctors, the baby was saved.

And as a teenager, he got into another unpleasant situation. The boy fell from the tree and broke right hand. On the way to the hospital, the bus in which young John was was involved in a serious accident, as a result of which the young man was injured. left hand. When he nevertheless got to the hospital, the doctors stated the fact of a fracture of both limbs. I should add that it was Friday the thirteenth.

7. Man-tree - disease

Indonesian Dede Koswara was born a completely healthy person. However, at the age of 10, the boy fell in the forest and injured his knees. Apparently, a strange infection got into the scratches, after which warts began to form around the wound.

Then they slowly began to spread to the entire leg. And later, strange warts appeared on the boy's hands. For many years, the guy watched helplessly as his limbs were transformed.

The disease attacked the man slowly but surely. The warts undermined his health, exhausted all his energy and, worst of all, almost completely immobilized Dede.

He began to move with difficulty on blackened and heavy legs. The hands also refused to serve him. The Indonesian has become like a leper tree. The warts grew and began to resemble huge branches of trees, and Kosvara itself began to resemble an unusual plant.

A man's mysterious illness cost him his marriage, career, and independence. In order to somehow feed himself and not die of hunger, he had to join a group of touring artists. The circus number, in which an unusual patient participated, was called "a number involving a person - a tree."

It is known that the poor man suffers from two diseases: a common papilloma virus, leading to the formation of new warts in case of some kind of infection, and a rare immune deficiency, which allows viruses to spread faster in Dede's body.

Last year, Indonesian doctors used an electric laser to remove huge amount warts. Doctors removed almost 4 meters of the surface of the body, infected with a strange disease. However, the warts soon grew back.

8. Hiroshima and Nagasaki - aftermath

Tsutomu Yamaguchi is officially recognized as the only person in the world who survived the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. On August 6, 1945, the young engineer Yamaguchi ended up in Hiroshima due to circumstances. It was at this moment that the Americans dropped a nuclear bomb on the city.

Of the 350,000 inhabitants, 140,000 died instantly. Compared to the others, Yamaguchi suffered little damage. He received only minor burns to his body, and his eardrum was also damaged. The young Japanese spent the night in a bomb shelter, where the wounded moaned around.

The next day, Yamaguchi bought a train ticket to hometown. It is worth adding that Nagasaki is located 288 kilometers from Hiroshima. At that time, both cities were important industrial and military bases.

On August 9, another nuclear bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, which also caused the deaths of thousands of people. Yamaguchi became completely deaf in one ear and suffered more severe burns to his body.

Over the next 12 years, he regularly had to change the bandages on his body so that the wounds did not ooze and become infected. From radioactive substances, like many Japanese, Tsutomu's wife earned a severe oncological disease for life.

However, she lived a long life and died in 2008 from kidney and liver cancer. Their son, also exposed to radiation at six months old, died in 2005 at the age of 59.

Before his death from stomach cancer, Yamaguchi became an ardent anti-nuclear campaigner. However, in all his life, the Japanese never spoke badly about the Americans.

9. Dynamite and a dog

One day, a young resident of Minnesota Harry Jenkins (Harry Jenkins) and two of his friends went fishing. The lake that the friends had chosen for fishing was completely icy. To quickly punch a hole in the ice, Jenkins decided to use dynamite.

When a block of dynamite was thrown in the right direction, the young people were horrified to see how their dog ran towards the dynamite, mistaking it for a stick that had been thrown for her.

In front of the frightened people, the dog picked up the dynamite and, despite the cries of the men, began to move towards them, happily wagging its tail. All three realized that they were in danger and things were worse than they thought.

Saving their lives, the friends ran in the opposite direction. The dog, taking everything that was happening for a fun game, began to chase after them. The men were within a hair's breadth of death. However, the blast wave did not overtake them.

The dog died, and the resulting crack in the ice where Jenkens' car had been parked began to grow until it engulfed vehicle. The car went to the bottom of the lake.

The misfortunes didn't end there. To add to all Jenkins' troubles, the insurance company refused to pay out the amount of money that a car owner usually receives in the event of such a misfortune.

In contact with

If you've tripped a couple of times, been hit by muddy spray from your car in rainy weather, or missed a train and think you're the unluckiest person on the planet, trust me, you're not! Today we will introduce you to some people with whom luck is definitely not friends. So here they are:

9. Poor Kostis...

Since 1771, the celebration of Christmas in Spain begins with the drawing of a money lottery, affectionately called by the Spaniards "Fat Man" (or El Gordo). The tradition is very strong and enjoys incredible popularity, it is a kind of national holiday. On the eve of the next drawing, residents of the tiny village of Sodeto (mostly farmers, builders, unemployed) purchased lottery tickets. All but one. Kostis Mitsotakis decided that luck would not smile on him. And he was right - all 70 families were among the lucky ones, the winning amount was $ 950 million!

Poor, poor Kostis Mitsotakis. Unlucky, so unlucky old man...

8. Lightning rod man

They say lightning never strikes the same place twice. Lie! Roy Sullivan, ranger (forester) of the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia (USA), got into the Guinness Book of Records after being struck by lightning seven times.

None creature can't survive being hit electrical discharge of such magnitude, and Roy survived. The first time Roy was struck by lightning was when he was on the fire tower. As a result, his toenail came off. After the second blow, when the poor fellow was driving in a thunderstorm along a mountain road, he was left without eyebrows and lost consciousness. The third time lightning overtook Sullivan on the lawn near his own house. The result was a paralyzed arm. After the fourth incident, Roy always took a bottle of water with him - his hair was burned. For the fifth and sixth time, he again set his hair on fire and received injuries of varying severity. The last, seventh, incident occurred on a fishing trip. The old man just wanted to fish, but got burns to his stomach and chest. Hard!

Roy Sullivan died at the age of 71 - he shot himself in the stomach because of unrequited love.

7. Sinister bullet

Luck is a fickle thing. Today you can be on the verge of death and survive, and tomorrow you can die by an absurd accident. Henry thought he was lucky. No matter how…

It all started in 1883, when Mr. Zeiland broke off relations with his beloved. The girl's heart was so deeply hurt that she could not stand it and committed suicide. Her brother shifted all the blame for what had happened to Henry and vowed to kill him, no matter what it cost him. Having waited for the victim at the house, the avenger shot at Zeiland, he fell to the ground unconscious. The brother decided that the mission was completed and committed suicide with a shot from the same pistol. If only he knew how wrong he was - the bullet only slightly grazed his head, leaving a scratch on his face, and got stuck in the tree behind. Since then, Henry considered himself lucky. Until one tragic day, when he decided to cut down the very tree in which the bullet got stuck. The stem was very durable. Zeiland didn't come up with a better idea to destroy it with dynamite. Having installed the checkers, he blew them up and died - under the influence of the explosion, the bullet was freed from the wooden shackles and hit the poor fellow right in the head.

6. The hairiest person

Ladies, you never tire of complaining that your husbands are too hairy. And then what about Yu Zhenhuang, the hairiest man in the world. 96% of Yu's body is covered with hair, there are about 40 hairs per 1 square centimeter. Hair does not grow only on the palms and feet (more precisely, on the soles).

Such a rapid growth of "vegetation", according to doctors, is due to a rare disease that Mr. Zhenhuan suffers from, called atavism. Due to his excessive hairiness, Yu has already had to undergo surgery to remove hair from his ears, as his hearing has deteriorated dramatically.

Unlike most "unusual" people, the hyper-hairy man did not hide himself at home and be ashamed of his appearance, but posted photos on his own website. In addition, his immediate plans include becoming a prominent rock star in China and getting married.

Four hurricanes, 4 destroyed houses... It's a lot for one family, isn't it? Melanie Martinez, a Louisiana resident, is in some ways the unluckiest woman in America. Her house was destroyed four times: in 1965, 1985, 1998 and 2005. It would seem that luck turned to face the school bus driver, and Martinez became a participant in a reality show on home renovation. In just one week, the TV team turned Ms. Martinez's home into a real "candy". Everything about everything was spent 20,000 dollars. New kitchen, new furniture, new appliances. One 50 inch LCD TV was just worth it! Unfortunately for the hostess, her happiness did not promise to be long: on August 29, on the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the house was destroyed for the fifth time by Hurricane Isaac. Martinez and her family narrowly escaped by boat, along with three dogs and five kittens.

4. The most unlucky Englishman

16 is a great number if we are talking about age and not at all joyful when it comes to the number of accidents that had to be transferred. It was from so many disasters that John Line, a resident of Great Britain, managed to get out alive. A lightning strike, a fall from a rock in a mine, three car accidents... This is not the whole list of troubles that the poor fellow had to visit.

Failure haunts John throughout his life. Born into a poor peasant family with five children and poorly developed lungs, he had little chance of a continued prosperous existence. At the age of 18, he was doing repairs in his grandmother's bathroom, feeling thirsty, drank water from the first plastic bottle he came across and miraculously survived - the container was not water, but a disinfectant liquid.

Later, at work, he was hit by a catapult: during the shot, a stone flew right into John's face and knocked out eight teeth. However, this is not the most famous incident that happened to Laine. As a teenager, he fell from a tree and broke his arm. After being in the hospital, where he was put in a cast, the guy went home and on the way managed to break the same arm, but in a different place ... Oh, yes, it happened on Friday the 13th.

3. Tree man

Indonesian Dede Koswara was born a healthy boy and everything would have been fine in his life (at least one could hope for it) if at the age of ten he had not fallen in the forest. Around the resulting scratch, many small warts grew, which eventually grew in all directions. The warts spread from her legs to her arms.

A mysterious illness cost Dede his marriage and career. For many years, he watched his limbs turn into the likeness of tree branches. Today, he barely walks on his swollen, mutilated legs. The only way for him to make money is to present himself to the public as a tree man.

According to doctors, the whole trouble of Kosvar is hidden in two reasons: papilloma virus and insufficiency of the immune system. Many people suffer from the papilloma virus, but the immune system helps to cope with it. Recently, doctors tried to help the unfortunate and cut off the warts using special equipment, but the formations on the skin reappeared.

2.Double nuclear strike

Tsutomu Yamaguchi can be attributed to the number of both lucky and unlucky people. On the one hand, this man is officially recognized as the only one who managed to survive two nuclear strikes(Hiroshima and Nagasaki). On the other hand, not everyone can cope with the pain that he could endure.

On August 6, 1945, the young engineer was visiting Hiroshima. Around eight o'clock in the morning, he saw massive flashes of light in the sky, after which he was instantly knocked to the ground by explosive force. At the time of the bombing, 140,000 out of 350,000 people died in the city. Tsutomu was among the survivors, he received severe burns to the entire surface of the body, was stunned. Yamaguchi spent the first night after the explosion in a bomb shelter, screaming in unbearable pain. There was crying all around, people were dying one by one. The next day, the engineer, stepping over the corpses, got to the train and went home to Nagasaki, the second industrial center of the country. Being less than two miles from the center, Tsutomu again saw bright flashes of light in the sky. A 25-ton plutonium bomb was detonated over the city.

survived after two nuclear explosions, Yamaguchi was practically deaf in one ear for the rest of his life, his skin was in bandages for more than 12 years. The engineer's wife died in 2008 at the age of 88 from liver and kidney cancer, and his son died in 2005 at the age of 59.

Yamaguchi was a passionate supporter of anti-nuclear campaigns, but he was never a supporter of anti-Americanism.

1. Deadly fetch

Imagine: deep winter, a frozen lake, two friends came to go fishing, they took a dog with them. To make a hole, one of the friends decided to use dynamite. The residents of Ackley, Minnesota (USA) will remember this day for a long time. Throwing the dynamite into the distance, the friends did not expect that the retriever Jerry would take the explosives for a stick, an attempt to make a hole in the thickness of the ice - for a desire to play with him. And the dog decided exactly that, and, with all his strength, rushed after the "stick", and then back - to give the trophy to the owner. Unfortunately, the outcome of this tragic-comic situation turned out to be sad. The unfortunate fishermen managed to escape away from the dog, they remained alive. The four-legged one was blown to pieces, a desired hole appeared in the ice, only much larger ... and a truck of comrades “went” into it to the bottom of the lake.

After the incident, the owner of the car wanted to get compensation from the insurance company, but both attempts were unsuccessful. The insurer categorically refused to pay anything, as the car drowned with someone else's help.
