Video - Double Survivor: The Man Who Lived Through Both Hiroshima and Nagasaki Bombings
Did you know that the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 were some of the most devastating events in history? The bombs, named "Little Boy" and "Fat Man," weren't exactly the kind of boys you'd want to meet. When "Little Boy" was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, it caused an explosion equivalent to 15,000 tons of TNT. Just three days later, "Fat Man" made his deadly debut over Nagasaki, packing a punch of 21,000 tons of TNT. The immediate impact? Around 200,000 people lost their lives, either instantly or from subsequent radiation exposure. But here's a twist: Did you know that a man named Tsutomu Yamaguchi survived both bombings? He was in Hiroshima for work and then returned to his home in Nagasaki, only to experience the horror all over again. Talk about bad luck! Double the bombs, double the survival. What are the odds? History can be brutal, but itβs also filled with astonishing stories like Yamaguchi's. Want to hear more incredible tales from the past? Let me know in the comments!
