Mohammed Bechet Abdul Kadir boarded an Emirates flight the 62 year old
grandfather got onto the airplane but then the plane burst into flames the
Emirates plane crashed and exploded on the runway of Dubai Airport but
amazingly Mohammed walked away totally fine Mohammad worked in a Dubai car
dealership but was flying back to his home country India but if you think
that's lucky guess what happened to Mohammed six days later days after
surviving a plane exploding he bought a lottery ticket which turns him into a
millionaire he bought the lottery ticket number zero eight four five at the Dubai
Airport and days later he realized he'd won and won millions of dollars he said
he'd been working in Dubai for 37 years and always felt like Dubai was his real
home he said he lived a simple life but now it's time to retire in luxury next
up is hot helicopter nothing is more scary than a helicopter crash well
perhaps except for a helicopter crash into a volcano that's exactly what
happened to two men Chris study and Michael Benson in 1992 their helicopter
went down into the crater of a volcano there was noxious fumes in the
atmosphere and larvae everywhere but several lucky breaks helped the men to
survive normally they would have choked on the noxious gases including hydrogen
sulfide and sulfur dioxide in the air but they were in a part of the crater
where some fresh air could go down the rim luckily they were able to climb out
of the crater and back to the helicopter they had to dodge
a lot of lava but they eventually got back to the helicopter and used the
radio to call rescue workers a rescue helicopter then lowered down a ladder
and they had to climb out of the volcano and onto a helicopter that was in midair
it was an amazing escape but the two technicians whose helicopter had
malfunctioning crashed made it out alive and despite spending two days in a
volcano crater without any sleep food or water they were able to survive against
all odds next up is double nukes we all know that towards the end of ww2 the USA
dropped two nukes on Japan they happened within three days of each other
the first nuke hit the city of Hiroshima this took out around 150,000 Japanese
people then three days later another niek was dropped on the city of Nagasaki
this took out an additional 80,000 people but not so too mu yeah Kaimuki
this Japanese man survived both Hashima and Nagasaki he was in Hashima and
amazingly survived at the first nuke he then thought he would leave that city
and go to a new one for safety reasons birth a new city he went to was Nagasaki
and another nuke was dropped on that city days later and he is the only
person who actually survived both explosions he went on to be an engineer
had three children and passed away at the ripe old age of 93 in 2010 next up
is moon lark let's go back in time a bit to the 13th century machaira was a 13th
century Buddhist monk he was in Japan and in 1269
the Mongols invaded Japan during this they wanted to take out any Buddhist
monks so he was set to be executed by a Mongol
bird just before he could be executed a beam of light from the moon strike his
executioner in the eye this blinded his executioner aunt and
the tyrant got away thanks moon next up is lotto luck so
we've already seen one very lucky lottery winner who survived a plane
exploded but this man named Bill Morgan was even more lucky when it came to
survived it bill Morgan from Australia passed away for 14 minutes he had a
terrible car crash which caused him to have a heart attack and he fell into a
coma luckily though he survived and instantly went to the shop and bought a
lottery ticket on that ticket he won $17,000 and he was overjoyed this was
such an amazing story that a local news came down to film a story all about Bill
the newscaster interviewed him and then said could you recreate the winning bill
said yes so he bought another scratch card and amazingly won the lottery again
this time he won two hundred and fifty thousand dollars on live television bill
can be heard saying I've just won two hundred and fifty thousand I'm not
joking so not only did this man pass away for 14 minutes come back to life
and then win the lottery once he won it twice bill Morgan you are one lucky
Aussie next up is Andrew Jackson this is another amazing historical lucky person
Andrew Jackson was the seventh President of the United States but like many world
leaders some liked him and many did not on the 6th of May 1833 someone tried to
assassinate Andrew Jackson a man ran at him with two pistols but luckily they
both misfired afterwards the pistols were tested many times and they
performed perfectly every time so he got seriously lucky not once but twice as
there were two pistols next up is rain forest landing in 1971 Lancer flight 508
crashed in the Amazon rainforest there were 92 people on the flight but only
one survived that was one German teen named Julian Cope not only did she
survive a plane crash she also survived eleven days alone in
the Amazon rainforest the plane had crashed after it was hit by lightning
amazingly she survived with only a broken collarbone
despite her entire family perishing in the crash she was able to survive for 11
days alone in the rainforest I doubt even bear grylls could do that but she
amazingly survived and was later found by a search party
it's thought she survived because she was belted to her seed which cushioned
and she during the crash so I guess seatbelts
and airplanes really are effective bonus time let's
just finally check out one very lucky person who survived a close call it
seems whoever was driving this car lived final destination in real life as you
can see a gigantic piece of machinery which is used in factories fell off a
truck it then rolled down the road and smashed right into this person's car
luckily it wasn't too high otherwise it would have gone right into the driver's
seat but the car was still stopped in its tracks by this gigantic metal wheel
this took place in a rural road in India and it just goes to show every day could
be your last so live life to the fullest but now it's time to make your voice
heard vote in the poll in the top right corner and tell me who the most lucky
person on this list was if you want some more amazing videos then check out my
