No One Should Survive That: Difference between revisions

* Real life example: Rasputin if the stories are to be believed (which they aren't -- his killers made him out to be an all-but-unkillable monster because it made ''them'' look like incredible badasses). He was supposedly stabbed, shot, poisoned, and drowned, [[Rasputinian Death|naming another trope]] in the process. Cause of death? Hypothermia, from being drowned in an icy river. And he was in the process of clawing his way up from under the ice when he died.

* Hitler survived a briefcase bomb detonating just a few feet away from his legs. All that was ruined as a pair of trousers. Averted however since that while the blast appeared as something that should have been fatal or at least crippling, Mythbusters proved that the way Hitler stood made it much less dangerous than it had seemed. .
