Working as an employee for Mitsubishi in 1945, Yamaguchi travelled a lot through Japan. It was when he got off the train in Hiroshima, that a large bright flash blinded him. Eager to escape from the tragedy, Yamaguchi took the first train back to his hometown. 6: Andy Fields & his sketchbook Casinos are not the only places where people can get extremely lucky. On 2012, English Businessman Andy Fields took a trip to Las Vegas, Nevada. While killing some time at a local Garage Sale, he bought a batch of paintings & sketches for $5. There was one painting which Fields, an art collector, fancied the most. As he separated it from the rest of the paintings, & prepared it to be framed, he noticed that it had been signed by the author. With very messy handwriting, the name Andy Warhol took Fields by surprise. Unlikely it seemed of course, & skepticism around the originality of the painting was common. After talking to several art experts, the painting appeared to be a portrait of 1930s singer Rudy Vallee, which was, in fact, drawn by Andy Warhol during his preteen years. An art valuer told the lucky finder that the painting could be worth just over $2 million Dollars. Afterwards, the seller claimed that his aunt used to watch over Warhol as a child, & was not surprised that one of the sketches he sold was, in fact, a piece by the man himself. 5: Maarten de Jonge & his Flight Bargains Planes are considered one of safest means of transportation, with a 95% chance of surviving a crash. Losing a flight is also considered one of the most unpleasant & inconvenient experiences one can have while traveling, considering the hassle involved in changing flights or buying an expensive new ticket. That’s exactly how Maarten de Jonge felt with his flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8th, 2014. 4: Bill Morgan & his car crash While driving, Morgan’s car collided with a truck, crushing him inside. Unfortunately for Bill Morgan Morgan, he had an allergic reaction to one of his medications, making his heart stop. He fell into a coma that lasted, luckily, only 12 days. After that, feeling good about life & his luck, Bill Morgan decided to quit his job & marry his then girlfriend, who said yes. As if being alive wasn’t enough luck for him, Bill Morgan went on to buy a scratch ticket. Days later, he found out that the ticket had won him $24,000. The word spread up to the Local News, who wanted to do a piece on him & his incredible streak of good luck. 3: Lena Pahlsson & her carrots As swedish woman Lena Pahlsson was preparing to start her Christmas baking, she realized that she had lost her wedding ring. She searched all around the house with her family, sadly concluding that it had disappeared. Years later, Lena’s passion for cooking led her to pursue a hobby in gardening, which started out as extremely amateur. She claims that she did not know that carrot seeds were to be placed in rows, & that the first time she & her family did it, they just tossed the seeds around into the ground. 16 Christmases after the disappearance of her wedding ring, Lena was out pulling those carrots they had planted. 2: Nichiren That was not the case for this famous Japanese Monk. Nichiren was a well-known monk during the 12th century, whose teachings have gathered a lot of followers up to this date. According to his own account, he was ready to cry, & leaned forward to give the executioner a clear shot. As the executioner raised his axe, preparing to skill Nichiren, what is thought to be a lightning bolt struck the axe directly. That day the Buddhist monk only gathered more power to spread his teachings. Most say it was not an act of luck, but of faith. Still, the odds of being saved by a lightning bolt are so slim that it’s hard to not consider this wise man from imperial Japan, extremely lucky. 1: Nick Smith & the Grand Canyon But that was not the case for Nick Smith, a member of the Beyond the Seldom Seen Outdoor Group, who fell from the astonishing height of 90 feet. Smith, while climbing between the narrow & high rocks of the Soap Creek Canyon inside the Grand Canyon National Park, failed to properly secure his rope block, & as a result fell.But after a couple of awkward grunts in pain, Smith realized that he was ok. “A couple of scratches & bruises, but other than that I felt perfectly fine” Smith said to the local news.
