Related to Charles' JFK example, George HW Bush's plane crashed in the Pacific and both of his fellow crew members died. Other aviators who were shot down nearby were captured, executed, and eaten by cannibalistic Japanese soldiers (not kidding).
Bob Dole was also extremely lucky to survive a German shell that shattered his collarbone and spine; he almost died also from numerous life threatening infections in hospital and spent years in rehabilitation before he started his political career.
Makes you wonder about all the talented young people who died in the Wars and would have shaped the world if they had stayed alive.
