Luckiest People Who Survived The Impossible - Part 7 

When you survive overwhelming odds like that, there’s no point in buying a lotto ticket because you’ve just used up your lifetime supply of luck.

Ol' Betty had the luckiest and yet unluckiest day in her life. Two disasters survived in one day, it's insanity.

My best friend’s dad is a physician. He once has a patient who came in complaining of a swollen tongue and other issues. After some testing, it turns out he had undiagnosed diabetes, and his blood sugar was over 1000. For context, the average is about 120. High blood sugar makes you super thirsty, so this guy had been drinking Kool-aid and fruit juice to quench his thirst, both of which have extremely high sugar contents. Miraculously, the guy wound up being fine, got his diagnosis and began his treatment. It’s been many years since then so I’m not sure where he is now, but I think of him every now and then and wonder how he was even alive

I grew up in a very small Church. It was a century old schoolhouse with a very rusty water heater & moaning furnace. There was an elderly lady in her 90's that we all affectionately called "Aunt Ella". She NEVER missed a service, morning or evening in the many years I knew her, except for once. Aunt Ella always sat all alone in the front pew so she could hear the Pastor. One day she arrived and was not feeling well. During the sermon, she needed to excuse herself to use the restroom. My Sister escorted her out just to make sure she was ok. She had only been out for a moment when there was a HUGE boom. The Water heater exploded. and the impact tore a hole in the ceiling. Timber, lumber, and heavy metal piping came crashing down ONLY on the seat that had recently been vacated by aunt Ella. i heard my Sister screaming in the Washroom. (Well, we were all screaming0. Part of the ceiling over the sink had collapsed too barely missing my Sister. A huge crossbeam had crashed down over top the bathroom stall, but Ella was safe, protected by the metal cubicle walls strongly supporting her. We had to relocate for most of the year to the Church in the next town but it was rebuilt - along with a new pew for Ella and a new Water Heater. Now THAT was a close call.

Honestly, I love this channel. They even include the Metric system in their uploads, so that we also can understand.

Respect for that crane operator who saved the dudes life.

I have a great great grandfather who was a foot soldier in World War 1 and returned and a great grandfather who was in the navy in World War 2 and also returned. It really is amazing that they both came back.

I find AJ at 13:14 quite relatable. I also have a form of Autism, and the only things that reliably scare me are heights and bees… I think y’all know which one is the irrational one lol. Still, he just showed me I’m not alone, and what you mentioned about the symptoms is spot on.

I was amazed by the woman who survived a plane crashing in her building and then a drop down an elevator shaft. I was amazed by the guy from the Titanic who survived frostbite to his feet just from walking it off. All are pretty amazing!! Keep up the amazing videos!!!

17:45 he got to experience what it's like in the fridge scene in Indiana Jones 😂😂

1:08 Now thats a real Screen-shot

7:32 He said “He turned out to be Superman!” Lol.😂🤣

I know a guy who used to be in the military. He was given medical discharge (I assume, anyway) after he sustained some fairly serious head injuries. What happened to him was he was on a small watercraft (I think tugboat but I'm not certain) when a large vessel ran into him. Knocked him around like a pinball but he survived.

As for the woman in the cold water, there is a saying that rescuers say. "You're not dead until you are WARM and dead", hence, medical workers will work until the body is warmed up to normal temperatures. On another note, it was because of the WWII crash into the Empire State Building that the builders of the Trade Center believed a plane could crash into it and not sustain any serious damage.

The most fascinating part about people who's heart stops. Is usually withing minutes there is zero chance of revival after it stops. But that time has Ben proven to actually extend into the half hour to hours range depending on how cold the persons body was when there heart stopped. So basically if your heart is going to stop and be resuscitated, just make sure you freeze yourself first! Lol

21:53 what the heck is that title!?

At Niagara Falls, there is a sign telling a story of a boy who survived a fall over the largest waterfall. His boat got pulled to the edge and went over. Everyone else was dashed against the rocks, but he hit a patch of water that shot out further than the rest of the water, pushing him past the rocks where he was picked up by a tour boat. Also, Be Amazed, if you do go to the falls, I highly recommend going on the zipline.

So this happened last year around November. Both my cousin and uncle were hanging decorations while I was sitting on the step playing with our dog. Since he (the dog) was to close to me, I moved up just by 1 step before a large window came crashing down (just mere seconds later). Everyone just froze and it was one of the luckiest days in my life. Also my dad told me to come inside by 8 p.m. but he let me stayed since I was helping them. No one was injured however, our dog did get hit from the frame of the glass. Edit: yes the dog did survive. Thought I had added it in. Sorry 😅

The Titanic guy was an angel among us 👏🏾

“2:57” imagine the tennis ball hits someone and then they got a darwin award

I love how you never clickbait 👏

My dad had a narrow escape when he was underground in a small mine in Zimbabwe. He had just set a charge to blow some rock and reveal more of the reef that he was mining. Having set the fuse to give him enough time to get to the surface again before the explosives went off, he climbed into the cage and signaled to the crew above to hoist him out. Halfway up, however, something went horribly wrong: The cage came to a rather abrupt stop! My dad signaled to find out what had happened, and was told that the cable had become tangled. There was nothing for him to do but wait and hope, knowing that the explosives would detonate any time soon and there was nothing he could do to prevent it! Finally the cage started moving again, and he made it to the surface. No sooner had he leapt out of the cage, and there was an explosion underground. Some of the rocks and debris even came out of the shaft and landed within feet of where my dad was lying, having thrown himself to the ground for safety.

6:27 who said humans can’t hibernate

Im swedish and i have autism. Once when i was like 6 i was chill when a car was about too hit me and i was 100% okay. I even said Goo goo gaa gaa after!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Edit: this comment is useless isnt it??

I am a Filipino and the boy that hid inside the fridge was totally true. It was also seen in a television weekend documentary which he tells about his story. But sadly, he and his brother were the only survivors of that tragedy.

A guy at the fire station where my dad works, had a story of his dad in WW2 almost the same as that one. The B-17 he was in was going to crash so he grabbed a parachute and jumped out, he ended up getting caught in a tree over a Main Street with German soldiers walking underneath. he sat there in the freezing air for three days till he finally called out. He had some shrapnel in his leg thay took out and he still has some of that shrapnel on his Keychain to show people, and tell his story.

WHAT I ACTUALLY DID FIND $20 ON THE FLOOR!!!!!!!!!! It was $20 in 1s and my mom lost it but I still found it! It was also on the floor of a bathroom. 0:09 this is how far I got into the video

6:43 bro is running on water

I love how Americans, when talking about Niagara Falls, always show the Canadian side.

Dick’s story of rejecting amputation was just like mine, when I go hit by a car at 11 which fractured my skull and broke my leg, the hospital suggested I get an amputation and when my parents told me I refused 😂 I begged that I would walk again and really put in work for 9 months. I crawled, I dragged myself around, tried kneeling, squatting and after a year, I could run and walk so much better, with a slight limp though that’s not that noticeable. I often worry for people that never had a choice to decide what happened to their limbs.

8:55 BRO WHY IS THIS ANIMATED SO WELL

I was a freight conductor for a class 1 railroad and survived a head on crash with another train in 2014. Even though I was seriously injured I can still walk.

Lucky people are those who found Be Amazed and subscribe, Because they will never be disappointed and will be amazed every time a video drops, Love your Work

When I was a kid, my dad was in an accident on the highway & became wedged back & front between 2 tractor trailers. He was driving a 70's Gremlin, which was way before crumple zones existed. It looked like a crumpled soda can when they towed it home. Amazingly my dad escaped without any injuries other than bruises, but to this day he will not drive near a tractor trailer.

My grandpa is very old and he got some kind of a job.While he was helping someone cutting a tree,It fell right on him.He survived with only some bones broken.

Good video Lee, your session wasn't wasted, you were getting a lot of answers. Looking forward to the next one, take care.

I survived 5 deadly cancers 💪🏼 And every time I beat them because I’m fighter and a survivor

Boomer: you're not going to die if you don't have your phone! Ukrainian soldier: actually...

0:01 I hit my head on a waterfall it was like a water fall but outside but broke my head on it and I’m still alive

The ice lady story is super cool. She was 14C which is insanely cold but it’s cool to know why this works. When we do heart surgery we often cool patient down to as low as 26 C (normal is 37C) to stop the heart and effectively reduce oxygen demand to near zero to give us time to operate while the heart is stopped. Then once the patient is rewarmed, the heart beats again. Always amazing

One of my luckiest things I can remember happened when I was working as a cashier at Walmart for the holiday season when I was fortunate enough to find a gift card sitting on one of the short concrete pillars that the parking lot lights are bolted onto, I went through the process of turning it in to wait and see if anyone came to claim it as lost but no one did so and I got to spend it on gifts for my brother and others that year. Also in reference to the lady who was frozen in the ice it reminded me of a bit of somewhat folksy wisdom I was told "you're not really dead until you're warm and dead" this was in reference to if someone was needing treatment for exposure or other issues from severe cold.

Death: You can't defeat me I know, but he can: RNG

Surviving being hit by a car and only getting minor injuries. I believe that, I experienced that. It was on a curve so the car wasn't very fast, the driver even asked if I need to go to the hospital, but I refused since I don't want to be in a hospital. My house was nearby so I went home and slept it off. I just need a good sleep to cure injuries and or if I'm sick. I avoid using medicine so that I don't get any immunity against medicine when it is seriously needed.

You gorgot to mention Violet Jessop, an Irish-Argentine stewardess and nurse, is known for surviving the sinking of both the RMS Titanic in 1912 and her sister ship the HMHS Britannic in 1916. Jessop served as a nurse and stewardess aboard three sister ships of the White Star Line: Olympic, Titanic, and Britannic, all of which suffered disasters at sea. Before joining the Titanic, she was also aboard a ship that was involved in a collision.

22:00 No I hadn't and I'm not happy that it took me 40+ years to hear about him. Guys like that need more publicity! 😤

This video made me happy to be autistic. Thanks for the confident boost! That boy was very brave, but I do enjoy exploring the outdoors. I wouldn’t be as calm but I would still enjoy it yet everyone should try going outside for a bit each day, even if it’s for sunbathing or playing in the snow. It’s nice and peaceful, even though my family home is near a highway..

Another close call or Divine Intervention. As a Teen I worked for, let's just say, a very popular tourist attraction. the central obby was serviced by a huge escalator that was about 2-3 stories high. I was coming in to work one day and was at the top of the escalator when i heard someone call my name behind me. I stopped and turned around, just as something happened to the controls on the escalator. Like a scene out of a Final Destination Movie, the escalator accellerated throwing all of it's passengers violently to the concrete floor below. incredibly, no one was seriously injured while emergency services were called. For the 3 years after that, I walked a few blocks out of my way to go down the street and into the building from the back entrance leading to the parking lot. I never trusted that escalator again.

BE AMAZED LISTEN TO THIS!!!!!! So my dad, named Marchin Kajko, (Canadian) is a builder for all of Ontario Canada. and one time he had a job in a blue house near the country side. Literally in the middle of nowhere, anyway, he was beside a wall of a ton of 19th century weapons such as swords, old axes and guns, etc. He was building something on a table near the wall and after just a few strikes of a hammer, BAM! He was hammering a nail so hard, it shook nearly the whole house making one of the axes on the all fall down. The ax chopped of a fraction of his skin, maybe 3-4 layers of skin. But if he were any closer he would surely be decapitated. But he did make a full recover after just 2 months. - I hope you mention this story in your next NEAR DEATH SITUATIONS videos. Thank you.

I can identify with ol' Caleb. Back in 2003 I was headed home on the 40 in East TN from a 16 hour shift at work. I fell asleep behind the wheel with my foot on the gas. I ran up under the back end of a semi and was kicked out, which rolled my pickup onto the passenger side, for some unknown reason, caving in the roof above my head. The impact of the yet to be consumed 6 pack on the bench seat beside me into the right side of my face broke all sorts of things, but it did wake me up. By the time I came to a stop, the engine compartment as well as part of the passenger side of my truck was on fire. I came to rest on the passenger side, so I was suspended, with a broken face and teeth knocked out, above a fire. I held onto the steering wheel, shifted myself to face the back window, and kicked it out, crawling through it and out. I almost went back in to retrieve my Grateful Dead bootlegs on cassette in the glove compartment but thought better of it. It so happened that an ambulance was passing Eastbound on the 40 at the same time as my wreck, so I had a ride basically the moment I stepped out of a fire-consumed vehicle. That is one of 11 wrecks I've been in (not always the driver). Crazy how life turns out sometimes.

I love the animation and with videos like these they make light of the situations. Whoever does the animation is awesome!

21:05 did the airbag ever inflate?

18:51 all that homeless man wanted was a Darwin award

Bloody hell, all of these are absolutely gobsmacking!! That poor lady in the lift, after such terrible injuries to then suffer the terror of the lift dropping 1000ft!! It reminded me of the footage from that air ambulance or helicopter rescue where the poor lady was rescued from a remote area, secured onto the board and then it spun violently out of control on the way up as they winched her up, absolutely bloody awful for her 😔

My old great aunt told, that turning WW2, when our village was being fired on by Soviet artillery, who where chasing away germans a shell flu trough the roof, while she was inside the house and it got stuck hanging in the sealing. If it would have hit the floor and blown up, she would have been killed with the rest of the family. There are still some rubbles of destroyed buildings, like destroyed brewery right next our summer home. She later was deported to Siberia for bringing food to the resistance group metsavennad members. There some of her acquaintances died to starvation and she survived a bear encounter, where she played dead and was rolled around by sharp bear claws and buried in leaves. After Stalin died she was able to return. She died 8 years ago at age of 96.

One time, I was snowshoeing in a Seneca Native American reservation. However, my sister, who initially didn't want to go snowshoeing, suddenly decided that she wanted to. However, by that point, there weren't any showshoes left, so she had to borrow mine. Stupidly, I kept walking in the snow without the snowshoes on, when suddenly, my foot fell through a patch of deep snow, causing me to fall forward. Unfortunately, there were some sharp dry reeds sticking out of the snow, and one of them ended up puncturing me in the face, a mere millimeter to the left of my right eye, barely missing my tear duct. Just a little bit more to the right, and it would have gone straight through my eye. Thankfully, my eye was ok, and I made a full recovery.

17:50 was crazy that kid survived like Indiana Jones

Who else thought the animation of Magee being flung out of the plain is kind of funny

I was walking home from a bus stop one night after getting off the bus and i didnt see headlights so i procceeded to cross and next thing i know i woke up in the Hospital with a neck brace laying on a gernie. But the weird thing is i escaped with only scratches and suffered a concusion luckily no broken bones or internals. I had asked my mom what happened and she said i got hit by a truck and was knocked unconscience. I was out for a few hours until i woke up at around 12 pm. My family was heartbroken and my girlfriend had cried so hard she almost passed out after hearing from my sister about what happened. After that i kept a reflector strip in my backpack going to and from work when in the dark. Thankfully my now passed grandmothers were watching over me. Always stay safe guys.

Luckiest thing ever: My teacher not asking for my homework cuz she forgot it

I had a close call once with death. Before I quit smoking a month ago, I was pretty much a pack a day smoker. But in 2013 my building went smoke-free, so they built a "smoking patio" outside the north exit of the building. In May 2018 despite there being a severe thunderstorm and green skies, I needed my nicotine. But instead of going to the patio, I tucked into a nook of the exterior elevator wall next to the door. But the winds soon got so violent that halfway through I was like, eh, no, I'd rather live. So I walked to just where the winds were roaring around the side of the building and yeeted my cancer stick to the fates. That's when I felt the immediate urge, a voice in my head saying, "JUMP!" and I yeeted myself into the winds, just as a thirty five foot antenna fell off the roof and bounced off the branch of the pine tree I had been next to, landing exactly where I had been seconds prior. I've taken some lumps in my life, but I think a thirty five foot long steel pole would have crushed my skull like an eggshell. I feel like it was my grandpas watching over me.

Here's a Darwin Award winner, or he should be anyhow. I was watching RU-vid and having my morning coffee when I heard an almighty bang. The cats dived for cover and then there were tons of sirens. I looked at the news, and at first there wasn't any info about the bang. A few days later however the story had finally hit the news. A man in the next apartment block decided to take his oxygen tank outside with him while he had a cigarette. He blew himself up, the building is so close to mine that we were lucky our building didn't get damaged.

15:30 you forgot to mention that the man who saved his life was a German medic stationed in France he said " you are my enemy but for today that will change"

0:18 That kind of looks like when figure from doors broke the elevator when you were about to escape

I remeber the case of AJ in 2021. I was really scared for him and his family. Good thing they got him back.

17:27 CJ FOLLOW THE DAMN TRAIN

16:37 MANS CAR FLIPPED BACK UP LIKE HE PRESSED THE FLIP BUTTON IN A VIDEO GAME LMAO

why do i keep laughing at 4:12💀

I know how the truck landed backside first. It wasn’t any ramp. It was a skateboard ramp the someone had built in the middle of the neighborhood road. The man driving the truck drove over it and he knew he was in the sky so he decided to go to the very front because he was trying to make sure he wouldn’t get hurt. He quickly realized that the truck was going into the house with the back going in first. He curled up into a ball and he thankfully wasn’t hurt. The man got out and he jumped into a nearby bush twisting his ankle and falling to the ground, but immediately got up and went to the front door and he knocked on the door. The home owners were mad but thankful he was ok and asked what had happened. He told them and police asked him what happened and he said, “I hit a bump”. Then the video.

I have an impossibly lucky story. My grandad was a soldier, back in 1970 or something. He was a colonel and when he was in combat he was nearly hit by a head shot, he even heard the bullet wiz across the side of his head, 7 different times. He was finally hit on the 8th time as the bullet grazed his earlobes and that happened at the end of the wars final days.

USA: you obey physics South Africa: physics obeys you

13:49 it’s raining men

My father was very lucky to survive an incident with an exploding angry grinder disk. The story as told to me. He was grinding and the disk exploded, shrapnel hit his junk and he said he walked inside and lay down on the floor bleeding a lot, he lives rural so his wife rung the doctor in the town some miles away and luckily there was a nurse on that day. He made his way there and walked in the door, nurse told him she had never seen anyone do that before (normally see people with cut fingers etc from angry grinder), she patched him up and he was laid low for a week or so.

When your animation showed Magee being flung out of the plane, instead of him, I died

When I was a child,I was walking on a sandbar in the middle of the Colorado river that gave out under me and was dragged down a long way.a man jumped from his boat and saved me.Ill never forget the size of the fish I saw,though I'd get eaten,thought I saw sharks...who knows what I saw,I do know that there are fish the size of a man in that river.

I hope Betty got a different job

The meteor one is insane

Hey thanks for making this video it made my day better when I'm in Ukraine in the war zone

1:20 He should call his family to let them know that he’s okay.

I like your channel its fun to watch your videos

Betty holds the world record for highest number stories survived in a free falling elevator

This vid was great! Also, I love the video about passively aggressive ways people got revenge, could you make another one?

In the 80s l read a report about a handyman/carpenter who took on a job for an older woman. The job ran into a snag. So the customer got it into her head that he was inventing problems to rip her off. He attempted to explain the situation to his customer to no avail. So he quit the job and turned to walk away. This woman pulls a gun and shot him in the back. The bullet, a 158grn. 38 special semi wad cutter, passed through his heart to exit his chest. He survived. That’s impossible. But there he is.

Story time! Patrick Kalyoy 1879 Patrick worked as a construction worker for buildings. One day he was building a 5 story building he was at the top filling in the roof when he fell 436 foot of the house. He came plummeting to the ground. When he almost had hit the road a pipe burst and the road broke he fell into the sewer. Then he made a big splash in the water. Everyone else on duty came running. The doctors came 5 minutes later. He was put in hospital for 5 months and went through 3 surgery's. He had to get his left leg amputated. He never was able to walk again. He came out of hospital in a neck cast and broken arm. Luckily he lived a long life but died in June 2003. He was a true hero and showed anything was possible.

Very nice video. I can recall a time back in either 2016 or 2017. A tornado had hit in our area. Me, my dad and grandparents, driving separate cars were on our way to the house. We had just passed a traffic light, and all the sudden, a transformer exploded when the pole had fallen. Me and my dad maneuvered just in time before sparks would hit our car. And what’s even crazier, is that I actually predicted that the transformer was going to explode, and it actually happened right there and then. But the ordeal wasn’t done there. We just got home when the power was already out so we lit candles but this is where it gets crazy. One of the napkins on the table was so close to the candle, it didn’t take long before it caught fire. It looked almost like lava. But my dad quickly got it and put the fire out in time. If nobody noticed the burning napkin in time, it would have been our house that went up in flames.

I also survived the impossible when I was 8 years old I had a serious stroke problem and it happened in midnight. I was wheezing at that point and was rushed to the hospital and said I have stroke. My mom cried so hard then 2 weeks later,The doctor said my heart ran out of oxygen when my mom heard it she cried even harder. The doctor sees my mouth turning black and I can't breath that point then in my mind I said "I guess this is the end there's no more hope" then a miracle happened. My heart has oxygen and started beating then my mom cried so hard. A true STORY

22:06 ...i am not a pervy but why the name is so sus???

My mom and big sister almost died when she was in labor with my sister! But thankfully they both survived ❤

10:23 she should have bought a lottery ticket that day.

12:16. 4 wheel drive, when the 2 front tyres left the ground, the back 2 are still pushing forward, because of the initial scare, I can imagine his foot hitting the floor, sending the back under and forward

About the frozen river one... Wouldn't that be considered cryogenic freezing? I mean, we can use info about this accident and use THAT to invent a cryogenic freezer

His character in 6:41 actually looked like he was running for his life

15:56 and it’s common to find one in northern new jersey because we don’t have tornadoes, I have a lot of friends and a good home with everything a new Jerseyan could want.

0:38 Wow what a Lucky Ukrainian, that's why we should Glorify Ukraine 🇺🇦, Слава Украïні 🇺🇦 from Türan Qazaqstan (Kazakhstan 🇰🇿).

Nothing compared then having actual nice parents

I had an insane amount of good luck happen to me last year when I was out of my home state. My mother and I were at a 4th of July display and were racing to make it to the bus back, I lost my ID somewhere along the route because of the jog, and later on the one cop we saw IN THE AREA had it in their hand when my mother went to ask for a ride home after we missed the bus. I can only imagine the stress I'd have gone through if we hadn't missed that bus.

At 16:10 the scream is from a game called "wooping heads"

I'm from South Africa and the place you mentioned is full of hills so the road was higher than the house that's the only logical sense of the accident

I love in Australia and I remember that story about aj. It was absolutely incredible.

The car in the flood was crazy! I hope he had car insurance -Geico

at 7:38 i was thinking "jesus was there for him"
