Tsutomu Yamaguchi, the only person who survived both the atomic blasts at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A resident of Nagasaki, Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on business for his employer Mitsubishi Heavy Industries when the city was bombed at 8:15 AM, on August 6, 1945. Despite the explosions left him temporarily blind and burned, he jumped on a train to Nagasaki to return to work on August 9, just in time for the second bomb. That morning, while he was being told by his supervisor that he was "crazy" after describing how one bomb had destroyed the city, the Nagasaki bomb detonated. He survived that one too. He died of stomach cancer on January 4, 2010, at the age of 93. image
