There are some things that humans just weren't built to survive.

I'm talking about totally hair-raising events like driving your car off a cliff,

being attacked by a great white shark, or falling into a deadly dam.

Freak accidents happen all the time, yet there are some people among us who manage to beat the odds and live to tell the tale.

So, without further ado, here are some of the luckiest people who survived the impossible.

You're listening. You're listening. You're listening to be amazed. Margaret Gwire Margaret Gwyer was a British national from the city of Saskatoon in Saskatchewan, Canada.

She was just 26 years old when she married Reverend Herbert Gwyer on the 15th of April 1915.

Less than a month later, the pair boarded the RMS, Lucitania, and New York bound for Liverpool. But little did she know Margaret was about to star in one of the most bizarre survival stories of all time.

On May 7th, just six days after leaving the port, the Grand Ocean liner was torpedoed by a German submarine while Margaret and Herbert were at dinner.

Not long after the impact, the lights went out and mass panic set in as the boat began listing

badly to Starboard. Herbert escorted Margaret to a lifeboat and helped her in along with

three other women and a baby. But what Herbert didn't realize was that, as Margaret looked up,

she thought the ship's smoke stacks were going to

fall on the lifeboat and quickly clambered back on deck. Meanwhile, Herbert hopped into another

boat and began to row away. But when the deck Margaret was standing on slip beneath the water,

she desperately tried to swim away from the quickly sinking ship. Unfortunately, she didn't make it very far until she was sucked into a violent whirlpool

and down into the funnel of one of the smokestacks along with two other men.

This should have spelled the end for Margaret, but Lady Luck had other ideas.

By some miracle, an explosion in the boiler room directly below the smokestack

blew Margaret right out of the funnel and back to the surface. Margaret was rescued by a nearby

lifeboat and quickly spotted her husband, who was sobbing over her loss on another boat nearby.

At first, he didn't even recognize Margaret because she was so covered in soot.
