13 photos of individuals who might be the luckiest people in the world

Isn't it strange how we never really seem to realize how good life really is until something goes wrong? In a society that places value on tangibile items, sometimes it's easy to forget how lucky we are to have a roof over our head, be surrounded by friends and family that care about us. It seems like we're only grateful for these things when something or someone is taken from us. The following pictures are of people who, despite being put in terrible situations, made it out unharmed. In some cases, they are even lucky they made it out alive!

The wind was so strong that it knocked a pole over, unto an unsuspecting car. At least it looks like it suffered minor injuries.
