-On Christmas Day, 2012, Lokos and his wife Susanna Weiss boarded Air Bagan Flight 11 which crashed while landing in Myanmar. Doctors in four countries said that he could not possibly survive his injuries. Yet he did and has gone on to thrive in his teaching and writing. This is considered to be an unlikely story, as only one passenger died in the crash, so fatal injuries are very unlikely to have been sustained. His book, Through the Flames, tells the story of the accident and offers a wide array of teachings from the Buddhist perspective. His against all odds recovery and joyful outlook have become an inspiration for many. ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_Lokos Source Accessed May 25, 2021])
