Some people are lucky in the most mysterious ways. Young nurse Violet Jessop began working as a stewardess on the Olympic when it collided with another ship. Fortunately, there were no fatalities at the time and, despite the damage, the ship was able to return to port without sinking.

But a year later, Jessop was transferred to the Titanic, which struck an iceberg in 1912. She survived by boarding lifeboat 16 and was asked to take care of a baby. But life put her to another test when she boarded the Britannic and there was an unexpected explosion, and she survived again. In fact, she died at the age of 83 from heart disease.
