Something weird has been going on with the Croatian music teacher Frane Selak. Optimists would consider these events as a blessing, while pessimists as a curse. Frane Selak was born in 1929, and is well known for his extreme luck in fatal accidents and spectacular escapes; although there is actually no evidence that support his claims has been discovered.
His first near-death experience began on January in 1962, when Selak was traveling to Dubrovnik on a train. He had no idea what was about to come next. The train suddenly plunged into the icy river while traveling, which resulted in 17 casualties. Frane managed to escape with nothing more than a broken arm, and some minor bruises.
In 1963, this man was flying from Zagreb to Rijeka when the door abruptly was blown away from the cockpit of the plane, and he was blown off into the sky. This time the accident resulted in 19 casualties, and Selak landed luckily on a haystack, and woke up in the hospital with minor injuries.
His third near-death adventure was on 1966 while traveling on a bus that crashed and plunged into a river. There were four casualties, and again, Frane cheated death once more escaping unharmed.
In 1970, he was driving when a faulty fuel pump caused his car to catch fire. Zelak saved his life again when he left the car before the fuel tank exploded.
A similar accident happened in 1973 when his car again caught fire and started to blow flames through the air vents. His only injury was the loss of much of his hair which was burned to the roots.
In 1995, he was in Zagreb, Croatia when a bus hit him causing him minor injuries.
The next year, while driving through a mountain road, Zelak drove off the a guardrail to escape an oncoming United Nations truck, and while falling landed on a tree while he watched his car exploding 300 feet below.
To finish the story, Selak won 1 million dollars in the Croatian lottery on 2003, and he is constantly nicknamed “Lucky” by his friends for all his lucky events.
