The bodies of dead civilians lie among mangled bicycles near Beijing's Tiananmen Square early June 4, 1989. Tanks and soldiers stormed the area overnight, bringing a violent end to student demonstrations for democratic reform in China. (AP Photo)From The Telegraph:
A couple have been labelled the world's unluckiest tourists after being caught up in three separate terror attacks during their holidays.

They were also in New York during September 11 2001 when terrorists flew two passenger planes into the World Trade Centre, bringing down the twin towers and killing almost 3,000 people.
And four years later they were in London on July 7, when terrorists blew up three London Underground trains and a double decker bus, resulting in the deaths of 52 commuters.

My Comment: This is nothing .... I was in China May - June 1989 (Tiananmen Square massacre), in Moscow August - October 1993 (Bombing of the Russian White House by Russian soldiers), and I had an appointment with my father's business associates in New York City on September 17, 2001.
I am making plans to visit relatives in The Ukraine and Russia this summer .... should I go?
