  • This podcast "Unbelievable Survival Stories" explores extraordinary cases of human endurance against impossible odds. It details the experiences of Tsutomu Yamaguchi, who survived both atomic bombings in Japan; Juliane Koepcke, who lived after falling 10,000 feet from an airplane into the Amazon rainforest; remarkable sea survival stories including José Salvador Alvarenga's 438 days adrift and Poon Lim's 133 days on a raft; and statistically improbable cases like Anatoli Bugorski surviving a particle accelerator beam through his head, Roy Sullivan being struck by lightning seven times, and Frane Selak escaping multiple catastrophes.
