6. Hundreds Managed to Escape With Their Lives From Two Atomic Bombings
Tsutomu Yamaguchi’s experience of surviving two atomic bombings might have been quite extraordinary. As things turned it, however, while what had happened to him was rare, it was not unique.
Hundreds of people were atomically bombed in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Although up to 200,000 people perished in the nuclear explosions and in their aftermaths, at least 200 survivors of the Hiroshima explosion had sought refuge in Nagasaki, only to face the same fate again, just a few days later.
