The Incredible Story Of A Man Who Survived Two Atomic Bombings | The Only Survivor Of The Hiroshima And Nagasaki Nuclear Attacks

You might be aware of this saying "Jako Rakhe Saiyan Mar Sake Na Koy", which generally means the one who is guarded by or protected by God, cannot be killed by anyone. You often witnessed hearing many such stories in newspapers and books about the people who proved this proverb to be true by getting out of the clutches of death. But what if we make you aware of one such person who experienced two nuclear attacks and still survived? The name of that lucky person is Tsutomu Yamaguchi, who survived two atomic bombings in Japan that occurred within 3 days. You can also call it a game of luck because the way he survived these nuclear bombs was just a coincidence, which you might not believe.

This incident happened on 6 August 1945, when the US dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. When this bomb dropped, Tsutomu Yamaguchi was also in the same city who had gone there for a business purpose. Within a few seconds after the atomic explosion, eighty thousand people were killed instantly in the city of Hiroshima, but luckily he survived. He was about 3 kilometers away from the place where the bomb was dropped and the explosion was so loud that his eardrums were shaken. Looking up at the sky, it seemed as if someone had set a balloon of flammable gas on fire and only ashes and scorching heat were lying all around. The blast was so strong that he was blown up and thrown over a long distance.

Almost his entire body was burnt, but he was still alive somehow and likewise, he wanted to reach his hometown of Nagasaki with his burnt body. Somehow after crossing the pile of dead bodies, he was able to reach Nagasaki and got himself treated there. But after recovering a bit, when he went to his office three days later on August 9, America again detonated a bomb, but this time on Nagasaki. This incident occurred when he was narrating the story about the Hiroshima nuclear attack to his boss but was suddenly shocked by another loud explosion. This blast was even more dangerous than the previous one and as soon as the bomb explode, the glass of its building was shattered and thousands of people were killed in the region. But even this explosion could not harm him and he survived again. He died in the year 2010 at the age of 93. These two atomic bombings killed around 129,000 to 226,000 people in japan.
