MONTREAL, Feb.18, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Three ships that flight attendant Violet Jessop worked on - the RMS Olympic, HMHS Britannic, and the famous RMS Titanic - suffered disasters at sea. Engineer Tsutomu Yamaguchi had just arrived in Hiroshima when the first atomic bomb was dropped. He suffered burns and hearing loss. Three days later the second bomb hit just as he was leaving Hiroshima. Both Jessop and Yamaguchi survived their ordeals, so maybe good fortune was on their side - and then again maybe not. Regardless as to whether luck is a real phenomenon, a recent study indicates that people who believe in bad luck are more likely to be unhappy, pessimistic, and less resistant to stress.
