This guy must have set some sort of record for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. On August 6, 1945, he was on a business trip to Hiroshima. He then returned to his hometown of Nagasaki in time for the atomic bombing there on August 9.
Like a bad marksman, we keep missing the target!
Maybe we can nuke him from orbit.
On the plus side,That dude doesn’t havre to listen to anybody else’s sob story for more than 10 seconds before he can shut em up.
That is the type of person you just aren’t sure you’d want to be on an airplane with. He has either the worst or best luck in the world. It’s hard to tell which.
Two words: George Costanza.
“Details of Yamaguchi’s health problems were not released.”
Not to make light of this, but he’s 93 years old. is there some expectation that being at both bombings has decreased his chances of making it to 100?
Or possibly he’ll live forever! And have superpowers!
I thought it odd that the writer felt the need to explain that Japan is the only country to have suffered atomic bomb attacks.
I’m only 27, but… are we really at the point where people might not know that?!?
I vaguely remember about an Amazon explorer who disturbed a wasps’ nest in the jungle.
Taking painful bites, he decided to dive into the Amazon … where the piranas ate him. :eek:
His vacation to Hawai a few years previous wasn’t nearly as tranquil and friendly as he had hoped either 
I would have been more impressed if he had been in Dresden for the bombings there too.
Poor guy missed his connection. They even lost his luggage.
His luck doesn’t sound bad at all to me. (His timing certainly sucks.) He’s still here, and he made it to 93; that’s not doing badly at all.
Now, if he’d survived Hiroshima and then died at Nagasaki…that would be terrible luck. Missing both–not bad at all.
He heard The Dark Rider discussing some really pressing appointments. You’d make travel arrangements, too.
In boot camp, a Marine friend of mine was given a manual about weapons and warfare to study. In the “Atomic, Biological & Chemical Weapons” section, the shortest chapter was only one sentence long- it read something like “The United States of America is the only country to have ever used a nuclear weapon as an act of war.”
But yeah- this needs to be pointed out?
Well I always found it a bit odd to see the same sort of reverent posters of Einstein with E= MC[sup]2[/sup] on the train as you’d see in the US. So far as I understand it, upon discovering that particular mathematical formula, Einstein went on to discover the possibility of the atom bomb and immediately wrote to the United States’ president to inform him of this.
Oh, yeah?
WELL… Let *me *tell you about *MY *day…
Wow, he must either think he’s indestructible, or that god really has it out to him (but thankfully has a bad aim).
However, I thought this would be about Frane Selak, who reportedly survived a train derailment, falling from a plane without a parachute (he landed in a haystack), a bus accident, his car catching fire (twice), being hit by a bus and jumping from his car as it went over a cliff to win one million dollars in the lottery.
Somehow, I want the two of them to team up and, I dunno, fight crime by disdainfully disregarding it into submission.
While impressive, to some extent I think that probably says more about the quality of construction and driving in Croatia than anything.
What did he get for Christmas?
