When things are really bad and you feel unlucky, count your belssings your not any of the following and smile. :pac:

Jason and Jenny Cairns-Lawrence



The English pair decided to go on holiday. Where to? New York.
Yep, just in time for the Trade Center bombing as they were visiting.

Four years later, on July 7th, 2005, they happened to be in London on a break - what do you know! The worst terror attack in the city's history.
(A series of bombs exploded across the city's transit system, killing 52 people.)

So next time around, they decided to try and avoid the big main targets for terrorists. O' right, lets go elsewhere then.
Where did they chose??? :rolleyes:
This time they went to the exotic Indian city of Mumbai - and just in time too for they got there at their hotel to see the worst terror attack in that country's history, as shooting and bombing attacks killed and wounded hundreds!

I suspect they are staying at home next time! :pac:

Tsutomu Yamaguchi



Only two cities have ever been destroyed by atomic bombs. This man was in both of them.
Born in 1916, Tsutomu Yamaguchi was on a business trip to Hiroshima on August 6th, 1945. As he stepped off a tram an atomic bomb blew up less than two miles away, fcuking schite up in an extraordinary way. Eardrums destroyed and temporarily blind, Yamaguchi scrambled to figure out just what the hell happened.

After spending a night in an air raid shelter, Yamaguchi decided Hiroshima probably wasn't the safest place to conduct business, so he went home
...To Nagasaki.

A few days later, Yamaguchi was in the office of his supervisor, regaling him with the story of his near-miss with this mythical city-vaporizing super bomb. And just as he was trying to explain to his boss that it's impossible to sell cars in a city that's literally on fire, there was the distinct sound that few men on earth but Yamaguchi would have recognized: that of another atomic bomb, again detonating just two miles away!

Not only did Yamaguchi survive (while somehow not gaining any superpowers from the ordeal) but he's still alive today, at the age of 93. Yamaguchi currently uses this tragedy to enlighten people on the dangers of atomic bombs. He has written books on his experience and is an anti-nuclear protester - there's a surprise! LOL

Well none of them are that unlucky themselves, considering they're all still alive.
They just bring bad luck to other people!

No superpowers? The dude is 93, and he still has his hair, after being nuked TWICE.
