The man who survived both Hiroshima and Nagasaki

This guy is either the luckiest guy in the world or the unluckiest - I still can't decide. He was in Hiroshima on business the day the A-bomb was dropped. He survived it, then went home two days later to Nagasaki - the day before that city was hit with the other A-bomb. And he is still alive today, at age 93. Amazing.

You have to think this guy just rolls his eyes when other people are telling stories about how bad they had things. I mean no matter how cool your story is, he can always top it. I'd love to know where he went next after that 3 day stretch. And how many times he heard "No, that's OK Tsutomu - you just go on without me, I'm going stay here."
