Still remembering the guy who died recently. He was at Hiroshima when it was bombed. He survived and headed home to Nagasaki. Survived that one too. What a bad week.

Tsutomu Yamaguchi

He died in 2010, aged 93.

He was from Nagasaki but was in Hiroshima on business (he worked for Mitsubishi). After surviving Hiroshima, he made his way back to Nagasaki, reported to work, and was recounting his experience to his supervisor, when Fat Man exploded.

I'm getting old and time is really starting fly by. 3 or 4 years ago isn't "recently".
