Tsutomu Yamaguchi survived both atomic bombs, and almost nobody knows his name. 🕊️ On August 6th, 1945, Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on a business trip when the first atomic bomb exploded just over two miles away. He was burned, temporarily blinded, and his eardrums were ruptured. He still made it onto a train and went home to Nagasaki.

Yamaguchi survived that one too, and lived to be 93. Follow for more untold stories history forgot. #shorts #History #UntoldStories #WW2 #Hiroshima #Nagasaki
