Jinxed Judge

Not a cursed lone survivor, Judge Richard Bohanon instead turns up Forrest Gump-like at the scenes of our nation's tragedies:

For the first time, a federal bankruptcy judge has discussed his unique spot in history — as a witness to the two most deadly terror attacks on U.S. soil.

Judge Richard L. Bohanon was in his office, a block away from the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, when a truck bomb exploded on April 19, 1995, killing 168 people. On Sept. 11, 2001, he was in New York on a temporary assignment in an office near the World Trade Center towers.

"Somehow, I was spared — twice," Bohanon told The Oklahoman. "I was put in peril, but I was never harmed."

I hope authorities tagged him before releasing him back into the wild.
