Double Survivor

The only man to survive both Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

According to bbc.com:

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

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 is now 93 years old.
