Frane Selak is known for his incredible near-death experiences, such as, surviving after dropping from an airplane, escaping from a train derailment, swimming to the shore after a bus accident, two car fires, being hit by a bus, and being driven off the road when a UN truck almost collides with him on a winding mountain road.
Dubbed the luckiest unlucky man, he ended up winning the lottery jackpot - but how much exaggeration is in his life story? We can’t really leave an unsolved mystery alone, so let’s get into it.

Brew, don't use North America a as your region on google search when trying to find information on old events within other countries. You can change your regional setting for google search so you can then find their local papers and more. Hrvatski isn't difficult. Google translate is semi accurate for the most part. Thus, you should have been able to find any information you were looking for if said events were true or not. "if you really tried". I grew up in the town of Split in Croatia, haven't been there in many years. After seeing this video, became curious and did a little searching on it myself. I would say it is all fabricated. No local papers within the regions of said incidents state any of these near death events.

[@Rasabacon]

I love that you guys addressed how important Critical thinking is nowadays, not enough people are fact checking the things they share online and its causing the misinformation problem to get extremely out of hand. (especially boomers - My mum responds emotionally responds to posts on facebook extremely quickly instead of reading the entire post and fact checking it before sharing. I think this is a big problem with the older generations on social media)

[@alihorda]

[@klowee5240]

I agree my mom shares a lot too although it's just in our family group chat thank god. I do lecture her about it since i learn things like this in my ICT subject too.

[@nate6045]

And it's ironic because growing up when broadband was still brand new, boomers were the ones teaching my generation that the internet was not as trustworthy as traditional print media. We were taught how to cite sources and fact check. My dad would always tell me not to trust what I read on the internet and now the tables have really turned... with the big difference being when he told me that I trusted him because he was older and more experienced but now he won't trust me when I say the same thing because he sees me as inexperienced because of the age difference despite the fact that I grew up on the internet [insert Bane meme here] and he only uses Facebook and email.

[@darcieclements4880]

I think it hits all generations, but those who never learned critical thinking are at the highest risk. Unfortunately bad school systems and parents passing on anti critical thinking is still an issue. I do appreciate that Brew has an above average level of fact checking, but being human, small mistakes still happen, then get amplified with retellings buy others. Basically, no matter the source, we all need to check primary sources before repeating.

He had few scraches. If he wear a seatbelts he would have been mangled în The snowball metal of his car. Go figure. Another incident is wehn a profesor at my schood and his wife were driving an icy road. She was wearing a seatbelt he wasn't.

[@samwamm85]

Having access to Croatian sources i can tell you which accounts are true. He was a man hungry for attention and he did legitimately win the lottery, though he never had any near death experiences, just minor car accidents that he embelished the details of over time. When the cameras were on him though he made up a bunch of stories on the spot hoping that his story would become a worldwide sensation. However, many of the stories he told were based in truth, even if they didn't happen to him himself. Of course though, he elaborated the details in each somewhat.

[@MarkoCloud]

Unfortunately for Frano, flights between Zagreb (old Lučko Airport) and Rijeka (old Grobnik Airport) ceased operations in 1956 when Grobnik Airport closed. It took until 1970 for Rijeka to get a new airport on the island of Krk. However there was no route that flew from Zagreb to Rijeka in the 1970s, since it would be a short 20 minute hop for the slowest 1970s aircraft that JAT operated. The flight in 1962 that Frano was on is a figment of his imagination. I mean, he survived falling from 800m into a haystack. A haystack. Hay-stack.

[@Vincent_Beers]

The haystack part is the only plausible part of the story. That's actually a verifiable way someone else had survived a fall like that. So even if he made up his version of the event, he borrowed the haystack from a true story.

[@Jocuro2]

I have no idea what the agricultural techniques are like in that area, but I'd imagine a hay bale would be much more likely. And those are as dense as concrete.

[@Ayrshore]

No sign of any civilian plane crashes in 1960-1965 in Yugoslavia that I could find.

[@Mephitinae]

I don't know how Selak convinced any of his countrymen with the plane crash story. The parallels to the real 1972 accident mentioned at 11:44 are too obvious to ignore. The sole survivor Vesna Vulović was a flight attendant, and she became quite famous. It's easy to presume that this incident inspired the man to fabricate his own story.

[@ivedits9636]

Reminds me of when I read about this guy: Lieutenant-General Sir Adrian Paul Ghislain Carton de Wiart,[1] VC, KBE, CB, CMG, DSO, 5 May 1880 - 5 June 1963) was a British Army officer born of Belgian and Irish parents. He was awarded the Victoria Cross, the highest military decoration awarded for valour "in the face of the enemy" in various Commonwealth countries. He served in the Boer War, First World War, and Second World War. He was shot in the face, head, stomach, ankle, leg, hip, and ear; was blinded in his left eye; survived two plane crashes; tunnelled out of a prisoner-of-war camp; and tore off his own fingers when a doctor declined to amputate them.

The closest I have had to a near death experience was nearly drowning when I was five because my grandmother, who was SUPPOSED to be watching me while I swam, was too busy gossiping with a friend and didn't notice me get into trouble. Luckily, the pool we were at had a lifeguard who did notice and jumped in to save me. My grandmother compounded her mistake by not telling my parents what had happened, leaving them confused and worried as to why I was suddenly terrified of our apartment complex's pool and refused to get in it when I had previously loved it. They only found out a year later when one of my aunts, who didn't know my grandmother hadn't told them, spilled the beans. Needless to say, she was never allowed to watch me again.

I had a similar case, except there was no one around to watch me, my brother and his friend, and it was a lake instead of a swimming pool. I can't remember if I already knew how to swim back then. I was wading around near the shore, and suddenly stepped into a surprisingly deep spot that I didn't notice and briefly went under. My brother noticed and he pulled me out and took me back to the shore. Since then I've had a hard time swimming in places where I can't see all the way to the bottom.

I’ve almost died before when I was 10. Me and my friends were swimming at a man made beach. Me, my sister, my friend Anthony and his little sister Faith were there. We were dragging Anthony into the water. Me, being the oldest (strongest and tallest) was dragging most of his weight. Little did we know, there was a sudden drop in the water. We all slipped and fell under. All I was thinking about was saving me and my friends. Faith, panicking was pulling my head under the water, making is harder for me to swim. Since I was the strongest and tallest, three lives (not including my own) were in my hands. So many people were there, and NOBODY HELPED US. NONE. NOBODY GAVE A FCK. There were HUGEEE floats on the shore in the way of my moms vision, so she didn’t know. My toes were barely touching the gravel floor, even when I was on my tippy toes. I was swinging my arms around, trying to push all of us forward. I was carrying all of our weight, (100+ lbs). It was terrifying, I could literally feel my heart pounding in my chest, I was high on adrenaline and fighting to keep my head above the water. Thankfully and fortunately, that was not our due date. We all eventually got to shore and then cried. My mom thought I was being “emotional” at the time and I was “overreacting” :/. Believe me or not, that’s your choice. But it did indeed happen. All and all, if you see somebody (or somebody’s) struggling. For the love of god, HELP THEM.

I survived Serotonin Syndrome twice. The first caused my entire body to go rigid for over two days. I have a rare cranial nerve disorder that is treated with a group of antidepressants called tricyclic antidepressants. The one I was on at the time actually induced severe depression, so I was prescribed another antidepressant. The combination of the two is what set me off, but quickly withdrawing the second antidepressant reversed the syndrome. The second instance was much worse. I have severe gastrointestinal issues and have been taking Ondansetron for years for regular bouts of nausea. I accidentally took Ondansetron shortly after taking some DayQuil. As a pharmacy technician, I know that you can’t mix Ondansetron with the Dextromethorphan in DayQuil, but forgot because the cold I had was very severe and I was extremely tired. It unfortunately slipped my mind at the time. Less than an hour later, I started taking a shower. I started feeling very lightheaded, like I was going to pass out. I threw up three times on my feet, told myself to sit down because my vision was starting to go black, and that’s it. I did pass out, and was out for ten to fifteen minutes. When I woke up, I was on my back with my shower curtain and pole underneath me on the floor. My shower was still running. I had fallen out of the shower before I had a chance to sit down. It’s said that you can slip into a coma when you get Serotonin Syndrome. I managed to wake up, so I’m very lucky! Maybe I threw up enough of the DayQuil when I was in the shower? While I was on the verge of passing out at the time, the bright red-orange color of my puke is forever etched into my memory! I hope I never get Serotonin Syndrome ever again!

As someone from Croatia, hearing pronunciation of everyday words and city names from someone who doesnt know how to fully pronoun the word is really funny

[@meddena]

Slažem se 😃

[@Zzrik]

Sure the man had some bad luck and well good luck, however i feel that the guy who was in Hiroshima when it got nuked and survived only to end up in Nagasaki when it too got nuked and survived that as well might top that.

[@anonimi-jq6ce]

yo sup man am new here, just the intro now is EPIC

[@Megs125]

Lol showing Ann and how to cook that! She’s the queen of busting cooking myths

It's a souls game.. Death is the player, Selak is the boss

[@floramew]

I agree with the guy that said that it's not strictly important whether he actually had those near death experiences or not. What would it actually change? Storytelling, and especially exaggerating anecdotes further and further over the years of retelling, is a tradition as old as language itself, if not older, for the purpose of wonder & entertainment. these stories don't hurt anyone, and even let him live on a little longer through the telling.

[@vez3834]

Very well said :) may his story, true or not, live on!

[@AnswersToMJ]

i see Brew post video = instant happiness

[@SWISS-1337]

The most unlucky part was that he looked like an old man from the age of 30.

[@TheDramacist]

I survived a ruptured appendix during 2020 forced isolation when I was living alone. I got sepsis and kept blacking out, but somehow summoned an ambulance on day 2 and survived, despite the NHS' incompetence during early lockdown. Yesterday I survived slipping on the top of the staircase at 3am. But the bruises are savage. Never keep rugs near stairs. I fell from a height when I was 6 and broke my arm. Ive also skydived and bungee jumped. That's enough near-death for me.

[@Heart.Steel.We.Kill.]

This man has lived in final destination his whole life he learned some fd skills

[@flippyflop7638]

New upload means early Christmas

[@CarrierOfChaos617]

he's a sims character who has the unlucky trait and death keeps reviving him bc they think it's funny

[@sydneyjarmon3489]

Bro if I were this guy I’d never enter or go near any sort of vehicle for the rest of my life

[@goodnightmyprince6734]

I wouldn't even go outside again

Leap of Faith confirmed, Assassin's Creed is based on real physics.

[@milosmatic8600]

I love hearing brew trying to pronounce our names from Bosnia and Croatia and Serbia. I love his vids they are amusing.

[@snobbingas189]

I once strted a Lada and it burst on fire so that part of the story is definitely possible :D I can even confirm it was an original factory piece of the fuel line that gave. More specificly the piece of pipe that was (soldered?) Into the carburator came loose. This was a -77 2101 model though I'm sure they're all more or less the same.

[@axolotlofdeath3741]

This guy isn't lucky. That's pure determination.

[@timothyhales7104]

This man living final destination in real life.

[@BucketmanAnimations]

I love the new intro :DD

[@Kayley199514]

Death be like "ok ok! You've defied me enough! Here's 1.8 million bucks!"

[@ballHand]

He made it all up. There I just saved you 18 minutes.

[@benja2998]

did brew make it up or did the man that said he survived getting thrown off a plane make it up

[@sky0599]

@@benja2998 the man

[@zachtwilightwindwaker596]

Luckiest unlucky man. Luckyception. 11:45 The thing is falling at a height of 1500 feet will have you fall at the same speed as all those other falls.

[@ValhallaTwice]

Was thinking the same thing. Height plays a role in Hypothermia, though I'm not sure how slow they need to fall for that to take place.

[@DaedalusYoung]

@@ValhallaTwice I'd think hypoxia at 30,000 feet is more of a problem. But it doesn't take long to get down to a safer altitude, so ultimately it probably doesn't matter that much.

[@imher2462]

He was blessed 🙏🙏🙏

The subheading on the newspaper is, “wow paper people love that cool” or something I don’t remember lol

[@TheStellaGaming]

Teacher dude: *is hurtling through the air after being ejected from a plane* Brew: He closes his eyes- Me: And calculated his velocity, because he was definitely a physics teacher! Brew: ...and braced for impact Me: GOSH DARN IT!

[@mattstyles2498]

After a certain height it doesn't matter how much higher u go because u won't go any faster. Terminal velocity.

[@biskodoichinov1192]

That’s an another great video!

[@chickennugget4724]

the closest thing i had to a near death experience is when i was in a slide and someone cloged it there were so manny people stuck inside that it was getting hard to breath and i tried to clim out but people kept comeing down eventually it started flowing and i got out

[@AnonymousAuthor]

The kind of man you might want to avoid travelling with. He might be lucky but maybe not you. 😂

[@Eaglewing747]

This story inspires me to make people think I almost died 8 times :)

[@reviewer_random]

i was having a bike crash and barely alive when i just sliding under a container truck, everything in slow motion and i just can grit my teeth and embrace the road as low as i can. my bike went unrecognizable but myself only got light injury, but it strike my mental so hard when the next time i tried to passing by another container truck

[@aftersexhighfives]

He was born in June of 1929. So being dipped in the warm ocean and being born in summer might have saved preemie him since warmth is the most difficult thing for preemies who can't regulate their temp for the first few weeks.

[@secon4050]

As a Bosnian, We (Serbs, Croats, Bosnians) basically speak the same language, I laughed so hard when you tried to pronounce the names of towns in Croatia and Bosnia. 😂( Especially the towns with different c's)

[@kathleenking47]

Werent all of your nations, Yugoslavia?

[@xelectrix]

This man has been in almost every kind of vehicle crash. Train, plane, bus, car...

[@pattrell5257]

I used to read comic books as a chjIb; what a great character he'd make! Almost "practically" unkillable--you just never know how he'd survive. Possible scenes: 1. He confronts a bank robber in order to allow the customers to escape when the gnn jams as the robber attempts to fire it! 2. Our hero is on a picnic with his spouse where they encounter a rattler. The snake is facing his wife, but not him. He grabs it by the tail and the snake retaliatorily lashes out him while he is holding the tail--only it misses three times! He ends the ordeal by throwing it over a nearby cliff!

[@flilguy]

I had a 1978 Chevy Monte Carlo. In 1990 I had some of engine work done that included a new fuel pump installed. In 1992 the fuel pump malfunctioned and filled the crankcase with gasoline. Luckily the car just stopped running and would not start. Although with a few quarts of gasoline in the crankcase it probably could have been a lot worse. After having the car towed and repaired. I drove the car another 3 years with mostly trouble free driving. I've had a lot of those could have been worse scenarios.

[@jakeswitzer1522]

This is a real life final destination movie Edit: Never mind, I watched until the end and it seems like the guy was a bs artist

[@TheSassygrasshopper]

I have had 5 legit near death experiences... and I can prove them all.

[@zzyxxyzz5442]

Ooh, interesting. What were they? :3

[@elimenoquite6705]

Go ahead

[@bboyhanvzla]

oh! a video about me! jokes aside, I've been in three near-death experiences, but I've never had those flashbacks during such experiences.
