This 19-Year-Old Has Survived the Boston, Paris, and Brussels Attacks

Mason Wells is a Mormon missionary who was injured in yesterday's tragic Brussels bombings. The 19-year-old was also coincidentally a block from the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings and in France during last year's Paris attacks, ABC News reports.

Wells was at the Brussels airport yesterday helping other missionaries check in for their flights back to the U.S. when one of the bombs went off. He was "extremely close" to an explosion, he said, and suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon, shrapnel injures, as well as second- and third-degree burns on his face and hands. He is currently being treated for his injuries. 

"This is the third time that sadly in our society that we have a connection to a bomb blast," Wells told ABC News. "We live in a dangerous world, and not everyone is kind and loving."

Good Morning America captured the first phone call Wells was able to make to his parents from the hospital. He told them the burns were not "too bad at all" but that he'd be in the hospital a couple weeks. His father told GMA, "It's a miracle he's alive." He also said he believed his experience in Boston "helped [Mason] stay calm."
