Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-24

[00:00:00]When science says you're dead, but your body just refuses to quit, here are five of the most insane survival stories in history. Take Vesna Vulović. In 1972, her plane exploded. She plummeted over 33,000 ft without a parachute and survived by landing on a snowy slope inside the wreckage. Park Ranger Roy Sullivan defied all odds. He was struck by lightning seven distinct times, losing eyebrows and getting his hair set on fire, but walked away every single time. Then there's Frane Selak. He survived a train derailment into a river, a plane crash, a bus plunge, and getting hit by a truck before [music] casually winning a million dollars in the lottery. Anatoli Bugorski looked into a live particle accelerator. A proton beam shot straight through his brain at near light speed. He saw a flash brighter than a thousand suns, felt no pain, and survived. But the wildest survival belongs to Aron Ralston. Trapped in a canyon with his arm crushed by an 800-lb boulder, he used a dull pocket knife to amputate his own arm and hike to safety.
