Usually every person has one life but there is a man named Frane selak who has seven lives throughout his one lucky life. This sounds strange and weird but if you listen to the story of the person you will also conclude on this story that he has seven lives.
Let us know about him: -
Name of the person is Frane Selak from Croatian born in 14 June 1929. He is a music teacher.
Story behind the above caption is:-
- Selak's brushes with death started in January 1962 when he was riding a train through a cold, rainy canyon and the train flipped off the tracks and crashed in a river. Someone pulled Selak to safety, while 17 other unfortunate passengers drowned. Selak suffered a broken arm and hypothermia.
- The next year, during his first and only plane ride, he was blown out of a malfunctioning plane door and landed in a haystack; the plane crashed, killing 19 people. However, there is no report of any plane crash in Croatia in 1963.
- Three years after that, in 1966, a bus that he was riding skidded off the road and into a river, drowning four passengers. Selak swam to shore with a few cuts and bruises.
- In 1970 his car caught fire as he was driving and he managed to escape before the fuel tank blew up.
- Three years later, in another driving incident, the engine of his car was doused with hot oil from a malfunctioning fuel pump, causing flames to shoot through the air vents. Selak's hair was completely singed in this incident, but he was otherwise unharmed.
- In 1995, he was struck by a bus in Zagreb, but sustained only minor injuries.
- In 1996 he eluded a head-on collision with a United Nations truck on a mountain curve by werving into a guardrail, which gave way under the force of his car; he was ejected from the car when the door flew open, (he wasn't wearing a seat belt) managed to hold onto a tree, and watched his car plummet down 90 meters (300 ft.) into a gorge.
- Apart from the above luckiest incidents again in 2003, two days after his 73rd birthday, Selak won €800,000 (US$1,110,000) in the lottery. At the time of his win, he also married for the fifth time. While he purchased two houses and a boat with his winnings.
- In 2010 he decided to give most of the remaining money away to relatives and friends after deciding to live a frugal lifestyle.
From then he is called as “World luckiest person”.
