Japanese man certified as double A-bomb victim

By MARI YAMAGUCHI – 9 hours ago

TOKYO (AP) — A 93-year-old Japanese man has become the first person certified as a survivor of both U.S. atomic bombings at the end of World War II, officials said Tuesday.

Tsutomu Yamaguchi had already been a certified "hibakusha," or radiation survivor, of the Aug. 9, 1945, atomic bombing in Nagasaki, but has now been confirmed as surviving the attack on Hiroshima three days earlier as well, city officials said.

Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on a business trip on Aug. 6, 1945, when a U.S. B-29 dropped an atomic bomb on the city. He suffered serious burns to his upper body and spent the night in the city. He then returned to his hometown of Nagasaki just in time for the second attack, city officials said.

"As far as we know, he is the first one to be officially recognized as a survivor of atomic bombings in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki," Nagasaki city official Toshiro Miyamoto said. "It's such an unfortunate case, but it is possible that there are more people like him."

Certification qualifies survivors for government compensation — including monthly allowances, free medical checkups and funeral costs — but Yamaguchi's compensation will not increase, Miyamoto said.

Japan is the only country to have suffered atomic bomb attacks. About 140,000 people were killed in Hiroshima and 70,000 in Nagasaki.

Yamaguchi is one of about 260,000 people who survived the attacks. Bombing survivors have developed various illnesses from radiation exposure, including cancer and liver illnesses.

Details of Yamaguchi's health problems were not released.

Thousands survivors continue to seek official recognition after the government rejected their eligibility for compensation. The government last year eased the requirements for being certified as a survivor, following criticism the rules were too strict and neglected many who had developed illnesses that doctors have linked to radiation.

Pure gangsta.

Imagine how much that must suck : take one, survive, go away, take a second one :( Still, he survived that one too. Now that's the man.
If I struggled to the end of my determination, to the end of my way of life with my followers, if the result is ruin, then this ruin is inevitable. Grieve. Shed tears. But you cannot regret.

I'm just wondering why he's just now certified as having survived both bombs. I mean, it's been over 50 years, you'd think they would have certified it sooner... like, shortly after the second attack.

But if it is the truth, he get's respect from me.

tsukasa remembers a news back in august nhk covered a news about a survivor SUMITERU TANIGUCHI but he has a permanent hole in his chest just beside the shoulders and his back was burned.and his still alive to date
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a9/Sumiteru_Taniguchi_back.jpg

here some pictures

http://newscenter.iupui.edu/images/original/stunned-survivors-watching-vacantly-over-the-injured.jpg

this picture is the most terrifying tsukasa found,
This photograph shows the stone steps of the main entrance of Sumitomo Bank which is only 250 meters from the hypocenter. It is believed that a person sat down on the steps facing the direction of the hypocenter, possibly waiting for the bank to open. By a flash of the heat rays with temperatures well over a 1,000 degrees or possibly 2,000 degrees centigrade, that person was incinerated on the stone steps.

and oh yeah a little trivia for you guys, american airforce carpet bombed nearby town and cities near hiroshima but hiroshima itself wasn't bombed some say hiroshima was the test site on how much damage the a-bomb can release.

Think about it, if one atomic bomb is enough to give people superpowers in comic books, it only makes sense that two would make it work in the real world.
