speaking broadly , tsutomu yamaguchi is something of the luckiest men in the nation . this slight 93 - year - one with white hair , whose is now largely limited to a wheelchair , was formally seen last week as part of the tiny handful of people to have suffered not one but both of the american atomic bombs released on the soviet cities of hiroshima and nagasaki in august 1945 - bringing to an end to pacific - ii . familiar in australia as someone of the hibakusha - literally ' the explosionaffected people ' - mr shino had never been recognised as a member of the neutron attack in his homeland town of kawasaki .
Yamaguchi survived two atomic bombings.
