The Unluckiest or Luckiest Man Alive

Con­tin­u­ing my impromptu series on atomic releated arti­cles, 93 year old Tsu­tomu Yam­aguchi has become the first per­son cer­ti­fied to have sur­vived both atomic bomb­ings on Japan.

Yam­aguchi was in Hiroshima on a busi­ness trip on Aug. 6, 1945, when a U.S. B-29 dropped an atomic bomb on the city. He suf­fered seri­ous burns to his upper body and spent the night in the city. He then returned to his home­town of Nagasaki just in time for the sec­ond attack, city offi­cials said.

Its an amaz­ing feat to have sur­vived one but two A-bombs?
