Tsutomu Yamaguchi ( Yamaguchi Tsutomu) (March 16, 1916 January 4, 2010) was a survivor of both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings during World War II.
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, whilst being berated by his supervisor as "crazy" after describing how one bomb had destroyed the city, the Nagasaki bomb detonated.
I always find that fascinating. I hope he said to his boss: "see?!" and then his boss died of embarrassment. ---
