One Man Survived Both Atomic Blasts, and His Initial Exposure May Have Saved His Family.

Whether Tsutomu Yamaguchi is a lucky or unlucky man is up to you, but there's no doubt he's one of the more amazing figures from the war. Yamaguchi was a naval engineer from Nagasaki who had been working in Hiroshima temporarily. Literally, on the day he was supposed to wrap up work in Hiroshima, the first atomic bomb fell. Yamaguchi survived and returned to Nagasaki but was burned so badly that his family in Nagasaki didn't recognize him. However, those burns may have saved his family. When the second bomb fell on Nagasaki—while Yamaguchi was in that city being berated by a superior who didn't believe that one bomb was responsible for what happened in Hiroshima—Yamaguchi's wife had taken their child out so they could look for burn ointment for Yamaguchi. All three survived, but part of the Yamaguchi house was destroyed. Had his wife and child been home, they might have been killed.

One of the main reasons I check this place is to see whether Hot Rod has died yet. Yet again, I am disappointed.

Come on father time. Get rid of this piece of shit.

Most people already know this. It's common knowledge. This is a very famous person. The fact that you're just now learning about him is kinda sad.
