The American Mormon missionary Mason Wells can rightfully be called the luckiest among the unluckiest people in the world. The fact is that in the 19 years of his life he survived terrorist attacks three times - in Boston, in Paris, and the other day at the Brussels airport.
One of the victims of the explosion at the Brussels airport, which killed 34 people and injured more than 200, was a 19-year-old boy from the United States, Mason Wells. He sustained burns to his face and hands, numerous shrapnel wounds and shrapnel tore his Achilles tendon. And it would seem nothing extraordinary. If not for the fact that this is the third terrorist attack in which the young Mormon missionary fell, according to the Daily mail.

Circumstances developed in such a way that in the spring of 2013, when Wells was 16 years old, he and his father were at the marathon in Boston. When the explosions thundered, they were a few meters from the scene of the attack.

In the fall of 2015, the young man again found himself near the site of the tragedy - this time during a series of terrorist attacks in Paris.

Wells's parents are happy to have their son alive. “Today the world has become extremely dangerous, and not every person is loving and kind,” says Chad Wells, the boy's father. We are grateful to God that he was able to survive it."
