It is difficult to say if Tsutomu Yamaguchi is the luckiest or unluckiest man alive. He survived the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings with little physical damage to speak of.

That isn’t to say this man hasn’t had a tough go at life, seeing everything he knew destroyed by, what must have seemed to the world at the time, magic. The atomic bombs were more powerful than all the bombs dropped in the war combined up to that point, and this unassuming man survived both.
