Well, when Harry was one year old, he survived Lord Voldemort for an unknown reason. Some people have a theory that Harry survived because Lily did a Protective Charm on him. Others think it's love that made Voldemort go because he doesn't understand it.

I would say, for Chicagoans, the symbolic building is the Water Tower. It is the only building in Chicago that survived the Great Fire. I would say, for the world, the symbolic building in Chicago is the Sears Tower.
Concrete and the vaulted arches were keys to the support of the Colosseum. It was built with a mixture of concrete and stone. The Romans were in the middle of developing concrete and were unsure of its strength and durability, so they used stone as well. Roman concrete proved to be very strong and long lasting and it is mainly due to this that it has survived. Moreover, unlike stone, it cannot be quarried to be used as building material elsewhere, which is the main reason why so many Roman buildings are in ruin. The great load-bearing strength of the vaulted arch was also very important in supporting the Colosseum.
Eight German Jesuits survived the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. The church was destroyed but the home did not so they survived and the radiation sickness did not affect any of the Jesuits at that time or decades later. I believe in miracles but the priests were a kilometer away in the shadow of a huge reinforced concrete building which took most of the force of the blast and the radiation so their survival without the help of a miracle sounds much more likely. They group was led by Father Hubert Schiffer. The others were not mentioned anywhere.
