The story of Frane Selak is so unbelievable that you'd walk away from a movie, heck, a documentary of his life thinking it was too unrealistic. But it's not. It's a true story. Selak cheated death seven times. He survived a train crashing into a frozen river, a plane crash by getting sucked out of the door, a bus crash, a car crashes and a few explosions. Oh. He also won the lottery after all that too.
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 £600,000 in the lottery
- 2010 - He gives away the rest of his money to family and friends
