Yamaguchi survived Nagasaki AND Hiroshima

[DolaMight]

TOKYO (AP) — A 93-year-old Japanese man has become the first person certified as a survivor of both U.S. atomic bombings at the end of World War II, officials said Tuesday.

Tsutomu Yamaguchi had already been a certified "hibakusha," or radiation survivor, of the Aug. 9, 1945, atomic bombing in Nagasaki, but has now been confirmed as surviving the attack on Hiroshima three days earlier as well, city officials said.

Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on a business trip on Aug. 6, 1945, when a U.S. B-29 dropped an atomic bomb on the city. He suffered serious burns to his upper body and spent the night in the city. He then returned to his hometown of Nagasaki just in time for the second attack, city officials said.

would have been more funny if we didnt need the hubble to see the fucking picture.

[AngryAsianGuy]

I knew this guy when I was a kid, he lived in our prefecture.

For kicks we used to point up at the sky, scream "AMERICAN BOMBERS!!!" then light firecrackers and throw them near him when he was looking up in terror for the planes.

Ah, good times.

he looks damn good for being 93. Maybe all that radiation helped him out

That's actually his daughter. The radiation fucked with his sperm somewhat. There's tentacles under that jacket.

This is why I love this board. I never thought I would laugh so hard over atomic bomb pictures.

Living to 93 and having to that long to relive it over and over is probably the worst thing

[sr71blackbird]

How badly burned could he have been if he was well enough to travel within a day of the initial blast. I call bullshit.

Fuck I needed this thread, I just laughed myself out of my chair. Stupid chair, now my ass hurts from hitting the floor.

eh, not quite.

Sole Double Atomic Bomb Survivor Dies in Japan (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,582117,00.html?test=latestnews)

[opie's twisted balls]

from the linked story:

Certification as an atomic bomb survivor in Japan qualifies individuals for government compensation, including monthly allowances, free medical checkups and funeral costs.

And thats how high the bar should be set for the prerequisite to collect welfare

[El Mudo]

I guess Yamaguchi still ended up better than Yamamoto

why would you expect cockroaches to kill him?

[topless_mike]

why would you expect cockroaches to kill him?

um, they wouldnt.
you know, the whole "cockroaches can survive nuclear fallout" etc...

re-read it. i think you misread it.
