Maybe they're not the one of the least fortunate, indeed there are still many people who suffer from hunger or disease that can not be cured, but this people are always in the wrong place at the wrong time and with the problem occur repeatedly.




7. Jason and Jenny Cairns-Lawrence
Misfortune: Often near to terrorist attack!


a) September 11, World Trade Center, the couple have just been in New York at the time of the twin towers had fallen and brokenb. 
b) July 7, 2005, when they were in London, they are once again in the city where the series of bombs exploded in a subway stationc. 
c) 2008, they finally thought not to travel to big cities, and take Mumbay, India as their destination and as the result is again in the city where the terror of bombs and shootings were happened .
This couple can be compared with Regina Rohde, but Regina only experience twice, first when she was still a student at Columbine High School, and became an eyewitness to the shooting massacre, and so become one of the world's worst history in the shooting massacre. Eight years later, Regina live in the Virginia Tech Graduate, and she once again became an eyewitness to the shooting even worse and until now become the worst record in school history of massacre.

6. Violet Jessop
Misfortune: Nearly drowned on a cruise ship .. three times!


The legend among the ship's captain that prohibited women to see the pulled anchor was probably right when we read this story.Violet's story begins when she worked as a crew at the Olympics, 'brother' of the Titanic. 20 September 1911, the Olympic collided with the British battleships, fortunately she survived.Therefore, Violet were moving to work in the next ship: the Titanic!Perhaps we do not need a lengthy story about the Titanic here because I guess you are all known already? Well .. after the Titanic, Violet began to repent and stay away from the ship, may be she had a trauma huh? Phffft: Olympic and Titanic's captain was the same, Edward J. Smith.After a while not at sea, Violet finally missed and go back again to be a nurse on the ship 'Britannic'. It was in 1916, the ship hit a mine, and once again Violet was safe, perhaps because she felt she was not , Violet finally moved away from the sea.At the time she died of heart failure in 1971, her body was disposed into the sea ...

5. Robert Todd Lincoln
Misfortune: Knew a lot of presidents, .. and they're all shot !


Robert's father was who else if not Abrahm Lincoln? Well .. the story is start from his father.At the age of 21 , Robert's father Abrahm Lincoln was killed, later Robert came into the world of politics and was in the position of Minister of War in the reign of James Garfield.In 1911, four months after Robert was appointed as a minister, he and James Garfield were on the way to New Jersey and President James Garfield also get shot.After nearly 20 years no President he had known was shot to death, he was finally invited to the the president McKinley's event. Indeed, he was not a witness , but at least he was in the same room with President McKinley at the time he got shot!Since that time, all the invitations from any President is rejected.

4. Ann Hodges
Misfortune: stricken by meteor!






Is it true ? Believe it or not she is the only woman in the world that was stricken by metor! On 30 November 1954, Ann Hodges take a nap in her room, and without knowing it, there was a meteor that fell from the sky. Chondrite stone is broken into three parts and one of them  wounded in Ann's waist.
The bad luck doesn't end there. U.S. Air Force,immediately arrived by helicopter and ask for the rock without any compensation and Ann's husband was angry. Ann's husband eventually with the help of a lawyer take back the existing rock, and eventually intends to buy the stone that worth 5000 dollars (in 1954, it was a big amount of money wasn't it ?) But the owner of the house (turns out Ann's family rented a house), Bertie Guy, had demanded money in compensation of damage to houses.Because no bear to be continually struggle, finally the stone was donated to the Alabama Museum of Natural History, and the story ends there!

3. Roy Sullivan
Misfortune: struck by lightning seven times!


Statistically, the likelihood of people struck by lightning are 1 in 3000. 
Roy Sullivan was a national park ranger in the Shenandoah National Park, Virginia. The first incident was when he was in the guard tower, Roy was struck by lightning in 1942. Second and next was when driving a car leaving the park, at the time of fishing, and at the guard post.
The fifth attack was occurred at the time Roy and his wife were hanging clothes, and the sixth attack was reported that Roy felt 'the clouds pursue him.' But it was not the last lightning that took his life.Roy shot himself at the age of 71 years!

2. Jeanne Rogers
Misfortune: Too many ...
Thunderstorms: struck by two times: 9 billion to one. Jeanne Rogers hit two times in a row!
At the age of 18, on vacation with a cruise ship, Jeanne crashed into the sea for being too aside. His friend tried to help, but slipped and finally fainted. Only after his friend had recovered, her friend asked that the captain to turned around and pulled her from the water.Several years later, Jeanne's son shouted "Mama, the bird is cute," and at the time, a bat strike her scalp. Everyone to whom she asked for help were fear and shut the door ,finally she drive
her friend car because her friend was too afraid to bring her to the hospital.

In addition, several things happened to the life of Jeanne: robbed, shot, strangled, fell into the hole and still many more!

1. Tsutomu Yamaguchi
Misfortune: There are only two cities destroyed by atomic bombs and 
Tsutomu exist in that two cities at the time of the explosion!

Tsutomu Yamaguchi, born in 1916.
He was on his way to conduct a business in Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. While still going down from the tram, the atomic bomb exploded. His eardrums burst and he suffered temporary blindness. After finally managed to escape and was staying in the protection camp for one night, he finally returned to his hometown Nagasaki.Nagasaki.. a few days later.Tsutomu was in the office with her boss, and told his boss a terrible experiences regarding the atomic bomb. While he had just finished his story, another bomb exploded at Nagasaki.
