Quote:Man survived both atomic bombings  

Japan has certified a man aged 93 as the only known survivor of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, both hit by atomic bombs towards the end of World War II.

Tsutomu Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on a business trip on 6 August 1945 when a US plane dropped the first atomic bomb.

Mr Yamaguchi had the bad luck to be in Hiroshima and then Nagasaki

He suffered serious burns and spent a night there before returning to his home city of Nagasaki just before it was bombed on 9 August.

He said he hoped his experience held a lesson of peace for future generations.

'Horrifying history'

It was already recorded that Mr Yamaguchi had survived the Nagasaki bomb but on Tuesday officials recognised that he had been in Hiroshima as well.

More than 200,000 people were killed in the two atomic bombings

Certification as a hibakusha or radiation survivor qualifies Japanese citizens for government compensation, including medical check-ups, and funeral costs.

His double dose of atomic bombs, however, does not mean Mr Yamaguchi's compensation will increase, a Nagasaki city official said.

"My double radiation exposure is now an official government record," Mr Yamaguchi told reporters.

"It can tell the younger generation the horrifying history of the atomic bombings even after I die."

About 140,000 people were killed in Hiroshima and 70,000 in Nagasaki.

Many survivors fell sick with radiation-related illnesses, including cancers, for years after the bombings.

"peace for future generations"

bullshi-


oh by the way .. dr manhattan wasn't nuclear :p
I wonder how the world would have reacted if it was the Nazi's who nuked some place, and not the "good guys" Americans...


Human history is forged out of conflict. It is our most basic and intrinsic nature. To deny battle is to deny who wee are.

Summimasen, Yamaguchi-san... but you are just the first of the millions who will face nukes and other weapons of mass destruction. The future wars will be far more horrific.
Brings up the question, were the two cities nuked while he was there, or were they nuked because he was there?

Sometimes history is supposed to happen the way it does if all live in luxury than no one can lift a finger to build the robot to do stuff for us...

And if they build nuclear weapons they never use them on war or anything other wise that would spark Nuclear war and bye bye humanity...
