Survivor of Two Atomic Bombings

He witnessed the end of the world twice, and lived to tell about it.

Tsutomu Yamaguchi is the only person officially recognized to have survived both atomic bombings.

He was in Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, just 3 kilometers from ground zero,

when the bomb detonated. Burned and injured, he traveled home to Nagasaki, only to experience

the second atomic blast three days later. Despite exposure to extreme radiation

twice, Yamaguchi lived until age 93, becoming a living testament to both

human resilience and the unimaginable scale of nuclear destruction.
