Yamaguchi, a resident of Nagasaki, was in Hiroshima on business for his employer Mitsubishi Heavy Industries when the city was bombed at 8:15 am, on August 6, 1945.

He returned to Nagasaki the following day, and despite his wounds, he returned to work on August 9, the day of the second atomic bombing. That morning he was telling his supervisor how one bomb had destroyed the city, to which his supervisor told him that he was crazy, and at that moment the Nagasaki bomb detonated.[3


quote:

he is the only person to have been officially recognized by the government of Japan as surviving both explosions.[2]




He died at 93 in 2010.

Proof that effects of nuclear fallout are a government lie to control the masses through fear.

I bet it wasn't really at THAT moment.

I wonder if he called HQ and threatened to make a trip to their building unless he got a raise.

It's well documented doesn't mean there isn't outliers.
