The REAL Luckiest Man in th world!
Tsutomu Yamaguchi
That's right, he survived...not one...but two nuke bombings!
is one of the few people who survived both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings. He had already been listed as a hibakusha (explosion-affected person) of the August 9 Nagasaki bombing, but on March 24, 2009 the government of Japan officially certified that he had also been in Hiroshima on a business trip during the first atomic bombing.

Fortunate to be alive but I don't know if having two nukes land on your is lucky... not to mention witnessing that horror.
I just finished reading the book Flyboys... holy crap. Some serious isht going through one nuke let alone two... not to mention the crazy amount of fire bombing going on at the same time... that's the crazier thing to survive. I wonder how many fire bombing raids he lived through.
