Japanese man, survivor of both atomic bombs

[CptStern]

Japan has certified a man aged 93 as the only known survivor of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, both hit by atomic bombs towards the end of World War II.

Tsutomu Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on a business trip on 6 August 1945 when a US plane dropped the first atomic bomb.

He suffered serious burns and spent a night there before returning to his home city of Nagasaki just before it was bombed on 9 August.

lol, luckiest/unlikiest man alive

Yeah, just a few more years and he'll be just another senile old man wandering around asking for directions to places that don't exist.
