American Teen Survives Attack in Brussels, His Third Brush With Terrorism
2016-03-23
[ABCNEWS.GO] An American injured in the Brussels terror attacks has already been impacted previous terror attacks in Boston and Gay Paree, his family said.

Mason Wells, 19, was injured in the bombing at the Brussels airport along with two other American Mormon missionaries who had gone to help check in other missionaries who were traveling to the U.S.

Wells suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon, shrapnel injures, as well as second- and third-degree burns on his face and hands after the bombing, his father Chad Wells told ABC News.

The teen missionary had previously been impacted by other terror attacks in Gay Paree and Boston.

"This is his third terrorist attack," Chad Wells said, noting he was with his son just a block from the Boston Marathon bombing.

"This is the third time that sadly in our society that we have a connection to a kaboom," Wells told ABC News. "We live in a dangerous world and not everyone is kind and loving."

#5  He is the Mormon Tsutomu Yamaguchi aka Mr. Rucky:

He Was Nuked Twice and Lived

TOKYO – Tsutomu Yamaguchi, the only person officially recognized as a survivor of both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings at the end of World War II, has died at age 93.

Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on a business trip for his shipbuilding company on Aug. 6, 1945, when a U.S. B-29 dropped an atomic bomb on the city. He suffered serious burns to his upper body and spent the night in the city.

He then returned to his hometown of Nagasaki, about 300 kilometers (190 miles) to the southwest, which suffered a second U.S. atomic bomb attack three days later.
