World’s Luckiest Woman? Meet Lady Who Has Survived Three Terror Attacks This Year

A woman says she has survived the Barcelona van attack months after also being caught up in the terrorist rampages in London Bridge and Paris.

26-year-old Julia Monaco, gotta be the luckiest woman alive, as the Australian lady who survived Barcelona attack unhurt has revealed she has survived three terror attacks this year, in three different  countries in as many months during her trip around Europe.

According to Julia who said her experience hasn’t stopped her from wanting to see the world, she was travelling on the tube when it was put on lockdown during the London Bridge attack in June. She was also in Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris just days later when a knifeman attacked a police officer in the square outside the famous landmark.

She told 3AW: “I don’t feel like I want to go home. “I feel like I want to stay here and not let them – whoever they may be – win. “I’m going to see what I came here to see.” Julia was in Urban Outfitters with pals Julia Rocca and Alana Reader on Placa de Catalunya when the incident unfolded yesterday.


Speaking another Australian media outlet, she told of the mass-panic in the moments after the terrifying attack began.

She told 9news: “In a split second it became absolute pandemonium.” Julian Cadman, who now lives in Australia but was born in Tunbridge Wells, was in the city with his mum on holiday when the van was driven through crowds at Las Ramblas.

One of those confirmed dead following the atrocity is Italian Bruno Gulotta, the father of two young children, who died while on holiday with his family.
