Man in the World","description":"<p>Being sucked out of a plane mid-air. Swimming away after his train crashed into a river. Being hit by a bus <em>and</em> walking away from a (different!) bus crash. His car swerving off the road and plummeting off the side of a cliff.<em>Two separate</em> car explosions. Over the course of his life, Frane Selak survived every single one of these accidents. \"You could look at it two ways,\" Selak said in an interview. \"I was either the unluckiest man in the world, or the luckiest. I preferred to believe the latter.\" This is Just The Gist (MINI) of the unluckiest, luckiest man to ever live (so he says...) Frano 'Frane' Selak.</p><p>.</p><p>We give you Just The Gist, but if you want more, there's Breakin' Nooz, JTG After Show AND Bonus eps!
