"Double Atomic bomb survivor dies in Japan"

"Tsutomu Yamaguchi, the only person officially recognized as a survivor of both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings at the end of World War II, has died at age 93." How does this happen you wonder?

Yamaguchi was sent on a business trip to Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, where he "suffered serious burns to his upper body and spent the night in the city." After the bombing, and his business trip was over, he made his way back home to the city of Nagasaki, where the United States dropped a second atomic bomb, just three days after the first. Luckily on August 15, 1945, Japan surrendered, stopping any more atomic bombs from occuring on its homeland.

After the war, Yamaguchi worked as a translator for American forces in Nagasaki and later as a junior high school teacher. Here are some things that Yamaguchi has done in effect to the bombings that he was in:

"Yamaguchi gave talks about his experiences as an atomic bomb survivor and often expressed his hope that such weapons would be abolished.
He spoke at the United Nations in 2006, wrote books and songs about his experiences, and appeared in a documentary about survivors of both attacks."
