UK couple world’s ‘unluckiest’ tourists

An English couple has been also part of a terror trial after they were caught up in three separate terror attacks during their holidays. Call them the world’s unluckiest tourists, or plain lucky ones, as they survived all three attacks in New York, London and Mumbai.

Jason and Jenny Cairns Lawrence, who are from Dudley in West Midlands, started their unlucky terror trail in September 2001, when they were in New York during the Al Qaeda terror attacks. Almost 3,000 people were killed in the US during those terror attacks.

Forty-two-year-old Jason, a sales manager, and Jenny Cairns-Lawrence, 26-year old dental laboratory worker, were in London in July 2005 , when terrorists blew up three London Underground trains and a bus, resulting in the deaths of 52 commuters. They escaped death yet again in November this year when terrorists struck in central Mumbai, resulting in the death of some 170 people.
