Incredibly horrible to consider, but still amazing and amusing to think about.

According to wikipedia he was in Hiroshima for a 3-month business trip and the bomb fell on the last day he was there. He was in the process of leaving when he realized he'd left his signature stamp back at the office and went back to get it. The bomb fell as he was leaving the office once again.

So not only did he get caught in the blast on the last day he was there, but possibly only because he went back to get his stamp.

After getting caught in the first bomb; having his eardrums ruptured, being temporarily blinded and suffering serious burns on the left side of his torso; he rested for a bit and then went out to find his friends. Finding them, he spent that night in an air-raid shelter and returned home the following day.

Back in Nagasaki he got treatment for his injuries and went to fucking work on Aug 9th, placing him less than 2 miles from ground zero for the second bomb which fell as he was describing the events at Hiroshima to his supervisor. He was uninjured in this attack.

This guy was a Hollywood action movie caliber badass.

Was there a 'fridge involved?>> ^xxovercastxx:
