Vesna Vulovic On January 25, 1972, Vesna Vulovic headed out to work as a flight attendant. Jat Flight 367 was flying from Stockholm to Belgrade with stopovers in Copenhagen and Zagreb. Vesna wasn’t even scheduled to fly out but apparently the staff confused her for another attendant with the same first name, but she didn’t mind. After all, she had never been to Denmark and was excited to see the city. 4. Frane SelakThe now 85-year old Croatian music teacher has had both bad luck and good luck souround him most of his life, depending on how you look at it. His incredible survival stories began in 1962 while he was travelling on a train from Sarajevo to Dubrovnik. The train slid from the rails and into an ice cold river. He had broke his arm and suffered mild hypothermia but while he survived, 17 others didn’t. The following year, he took his first and only airplane ride when the door of the plane burst open midair. He was sucked out and found by emergency workers on the ground lying unconscious on a haystack. He was admitted to the hospital with only minor injuries, the plane ultimately crashed because of the broken door, killing 19 people onboard.3. John ColterThough part of the famous Lewis and Clark Expedition, John Colter is the first person of European descent to ever explore what is now known as Yellowstone National Park. Colter joined the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1803 and was considered one of the best scouts and trappers in the group. As they were on their way back home to St. Louis, Missouri in 1806, they encountered trappers heading to Yellowstone River. Colter didn’t want to return back to “civilization” yet and asked for a discharge from the expedition to join the trappers. The trip however didn’t last long and soon disbanded and Colter would continue to explore various places on his own.2. The Robertson FamilyIt was January 27, 1971 when the Robertson family left the comforts of life and boarded their 43-foot wooden schooner named the Lucette. The family was made up of Dougal Robertson, his wife, Lyn, their eldest son, Douglas, their daughter, Anne and twins, Sandy and Neil. For the next year and a half, the family pursued their dream voyage by sailing across the Atlantic and making pit stops at ports around the Caribbean. Anna bowed out of the voyage when they reached the Bahamas and opted to stay there instead. 1. Beck WeathersFor Texan pathologist, Beck Weathers, mountain climbing was something very important to him.

I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans.We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.  EXPLORE WITH US Explore With Us If you love true crime and mysteries, you will love this podcast!
