Ordinary magic
Believe anything below is difficult. But only for those who rarely leaves the house, even more rarely gets in the car, of a speed above walking speed, and has never been at war. Because for anyone who has ever smelled gunpowder and / or simply been in a serious trouble, for those subject "luck in dangerous situations" has never been relevant.
Why are some luck, the other - no? Why some kills accidentally fallen bricks, others can not drown weeks raging storm?

Below are some of the collection of reliable stories "from the life of the guardian angels" from the lips of their charges:

In the XIX century the famous sailor, who escaped with the worst shipwreck three times, each time staying only survivor. Although he was already a household name called Hugo (or Hugh) Williams, but his real name was James Jones. As confirmed by the Admiralty and the newspaper "Lloyd's List", he was the only surviving witness the death of bark "Stockton" and ship "Catherine Sea".

He had been the only survivor of the ship "Duncan Dunbar," but because he was a sailor, he could not exhaustively explain the cause of disaster. But to his opinion, considering that Captain Green, leading clipper south along the harbor entrance, took the lighthouse Cape South Head lighthouse at Cape North Head, and making a left turn, turned instead to the entrance of the harbor rocks Geng . Johnson decided not to test his fate in the sea and became a lighthouse keeper Nobby Head ... In 1866, he again distinguished himself by taking part in the rescue command ship "Kauarra" that crashed near the lighthouse ...

In 1996, 20-year-old resident of Kazan Olga SUVOROVA wore for many weeks in the head nearly four deadly shrapnel. In late November, she arrived barely alive in the Department of Neurosurgery. Diagnosis: an open shot in the right temporal region and damage the frontal lobes of the brain. Drunken bully at a party shot Olga in the face. The fact that she survived - a miracle happen that helped doctors. A special treatment they prevented the formation of an intracranial hematoma. Soon Olga could get out of the hospital bed ...

The newspaper "Komsomolskaya Pravda", writing about Olga, do not exaggerate, she was born in the shirt. That's right. Last spring, she was drowning in the icy lake boar because the boat capsized. Her fiance Jura, beautiful swimmer, went to the bottom. And Olga, never knew how to swim, picked up by fishermen. ["KP" 26/12/1996] ... How old is she again to stay alive in order to question the randomness of what is happening? ..

In the summer of 1997 driver Oleg Kozlov, who works in television Volga city told me about a recent traffic accident. At first he laughed more - here you are, say, talking about some miracles that did not happen. But then, otsmeyavshis, suddenly serious. "Generally speaking, I had a case not long ago that I can not explain it in any way. Do not laugh. Once I was probably my guardian angel saved ...

It was so. I'm on my "Moskvich" perched on the rise for some slug. Several times wanted to overtake, but prevents a moving car. Completely worn out trail behind. Finally, I see - the road ahead is clean, it's time to taxi to the left. Usual twist the wheel, and then I like some inner voice commanded, and I - do not understand why - sharply back. And - from wherever it came from - because of the hill appears at breakneck speed sweeps past laden "Kamaz"! I'm already sweating. If not for the "inner voice" - I would have nowhere to turn away from it just did not have time! That was - that was. In the Guardian Angels believe you can "...

Of particular interest are the people who survived against all odds and all those who survived being buried alive, as it were. During the 2nd World War in the Soviet army were daredevil who are 2-3, and some 4 times enrolled in the lists of the dead and sent home funerals.

In the "Book of Memory", released in the Kursk region, among others, there are these lines: "Ivan E. Moiseenko, Private, s.Svyatsk, Russian. Summoned Novozybkov HVA, a / h 16 714. Killed in action 02/29/1944. Buried: Kyiv region ". The same Moiseenko, presumed dead in battle near the village of Cheremisskoe hit the lists of the dead and at least once more, but ... survived, survived the captivity, waited for his release in the Nazi death camp 17 "b" of Vienna, survived many fellow soldiers, and in the late 1990s, he moved to live with his old lady in s.Svyatsk, a zone forbidden to live after the Chernobyl disaster [" Work "in 1998, on December 18, p.5]. Lives now and there - in spite of death ...

In 1998, the St. Petersburg newspaper "UFO" published this strange letter from his reader, former military: "... In 1973, I was sent to serve in one of the parts of the South-Western Military District. Chief clothing service it was already middle-aged, overweight, middle- Major growth Sidorenko, very active. knew his work and performed well. Once, in a conversation with co-workers, I expressed surprise that here, they say, a major for 50 years, and he still serves. everyone smiled, and one said that Major is not 50, but all 60, but - especially lucky, and therefore serves as a ...

In the late 1940s, while still a lieutenant, Sidorenko was in a plane crash in the Caucasus. The plane crashed in the deep snow covered mountainside and exploded. Tail of the aircraft in the explosion tore off completely and threw almost a hundred meters away. A Sidorenko was flying the plane at the very last row of seats, that is in the tail. Joining him in the tail was still 5 persons. People get out themselves could not but help came soon. On the third day of rescue workers recovered five bodies crumpled tail and wounded and frostbitten Sidorenko. strong young body to cope with injuries, the lieutenant after treatment successfully continued service.

In 1950 Sidorenko has served as a captain in the Pamirs. And it so happened that a car with people in which he was riding and fell into the abyss. People managed to lift out of the abyss, but still alive one Sidorenko! Battered, bruised, with broken limbs, but alive ... Again, hospital, health, and again - in the system.

In 1960 he moved Sidorenko in the Krasnodar region. And in one of the sunny days of summer, he had to travel on official business at the train motor trolley. And you must, for some reason, the trolley derailed, flew high railway embankment and crashed into the stands a mighty oak! And again - all who were in the trailer trolley, died and Sidorenko escaped with bruises!

When an officer is 50 years old and it was time to end the service, personnel could not fire him in reserve. As soon as the execution of the relevant documents, the authorities required for Sidorenko solutions suddenly have questions duffel supply! Sidorenko was included in the active, and the case of his dismissal was postponed to a more convenient time ... Only two years later, he still left the military service. "[" UFO "1998, N 4, p.26] ...

That's almost a literal retelling of one of the many published cases that occurred during the armed conflict in Chechnya: "... We chose a small clearing on one of the peaks stretching for miles range. Dawned, and then go on becoming dangerous. Soldiers group helplessly fell right in the mud. I perched on a stump and the old rhizome was using the map to specify our position.

It turned out that the base of the "spirits" was literally on the side of a nearby mountain and to scare off potential enemy, I decided to call for artillery fire vidnevsheysya towards our future movements top. Before it was a couple of kilometers, so a few cucumbers (shells) would not hurt. Gunners took the order, and we have to listen, waiting cannon volleys. Suddenly, something vague, like cold shower, has sent me. Acute shiver ran through the skin. Me sounded like a cry full of horror.

"Wait for trouble!" - Rang inside me. I lifted her and stood with eyes wide open. I do not know what moved me then, some instinct, intuition, but I quickly got up, called zamkoma groups: "Petrovich, all quick to get up and go to the left of thirty meters, under a gray tree" - as if consulting with someone themselves in, I gave the order. Scouts dissatisfied following an order, silently cursing my last words for "woman's whim." Yeah, that's a shot.

The first round, cutting the thick clouds, whistled over our heads. Break. Excellent! Right in the "Chechen" top. Another shot - swish shell. But, my God! His whistling is not like the previous one. So only when the projectile flies hissing at us. This I knew. Yelled that there are forces, "Get down!" - And he ducked into a small clay excavation near the stump. Break. Clods of dirt, cut branches hurt by shrapnel showered us.

Grab station and yell: "Cucumbers"! Wait, your mother! You trunks give separation, plus or minus two kilometers. According to its beat! "Artillery fire ceases. Their gunner apologizes:" Sorry, Gurza, trunks worn as old boots ... "

- P., everything okay? - I am interested in elders. - All. Do not worry, Captain, - I hear back. And a little later: - Thank you, Commander! - For what, Petrovich? - For this - and Peter nods to the original resting place. Where our men were located just 5 minutes ago, steaming hot vapor cools funnel ... What was the reason, which caused my desire to change my dnevki? Whose words were in my anxiety? "...

The anonymous author of this story, with the call sign "Gurza" described and several similar cases that happened to him in quite a short period of time ["Day of the Warrior" 1998, N 4, p.4]. Does it follow that "Gurza" - lucky officer? Maybe. But the fact that observant enough - it's just ...

What felt rescued when salvation suddenly (and inexplicably) comes to them?

1) First, many of the survivors later talk about incomprehensible (to them) occurring tricks with time. Initially felt unnaturally stretched internal and external barely creeping time, then - stop the internal time or "full carousel" in their own feelings and sensations ... So, in 1998, in a letter to residents p.Priozerny, Leningrad region, N.Nikitinoy suddenly saveth in a traffic accident, is a direct reference to the fact that "time stood still" ["chip" 1999, N 1, p.11 ] ...

Such stories of stopped when saving time is not clear, and in many stories collected among Holocaust survivors American scholar, writer, Moody ... I stress, this is not a phenomenon familiar to us is when a person is saved, making some active steps in the time delay of time, but when the man, in spite of the fact that time has slowed down, not taking no action to rescue. But saved! Or - it saves someone invisible ...

2) Secondly, rescued at the time of their salvation sometimes lose control of his brain. Describe the "off" and "on" the brain is difficult, if not impossible. How to describe if, together with the brain turned off and all the senses! From its own surveys, letters I have read that people do nothing, feel nothing! .. The same-resident N.Nikitina Leningrad region in the letter itself asks, what is this mysterious force helped her into a deadly second. It does not have the answer, but it is certain that the aid is clearly came from outside: "... Who taught me to find the path to salvation? Who helped? After a moment of danger my mind is disconnected from nadvinuvshegosya at me with horror." ["Chip" 1999, N 1, p.11] ...

However, the rest of "born in a shirt" usually can not explain what or who helped them. The most observant only say that or heard a voice from the commanding tone of voice, or felt incomprehensible wanton desire to do something, or momentarily lost control of his mind. It was as if someone else more experienced and, of course, wise, at the right time you grabbed control of your own body.

It's like in a training machine with duplicated foot and manual control, where an experienced instructor is always on time and insure student presses the brake. Only instructor-driver usually explain novice nature of the error and adding a couple of brief definitions - for greater clarity, and our own "instructor" returns us to the lost world "wheel" modestly and without heroic pathos: in, controls, conclusions do it yourself!

And they do! And often, concluded: "We all uneasy, we will leave unscathed!" I have talked with those who openly boasted of his good luck, and those who only experienced dry listed facing death face to face. And I have the full confidence that modestly and without unnecessary "Yakan" receiving foreign aid in my continued taking it until his old age. "Zaznayki" as we call them so, as a rule, sooner or later, did get in an accident from which they have no one pulled the collar. Invisible "rescue" is clearly tired of saving the add ...

This is now the case. So whether or not the guardian angels? Certainly, the evidence, as they say criminologists, is available. Good work! But, I guess that for most people (except, of course, corrosive scientists), in general, all the same - whether it's the angels, the guardians (or whatever they are called?) Or who, or what? .. It does not matter - who they are, but, God forbid, would often write about them ...
