Was this the luckiest man ever?

Tsutomu Yamaguchi was on a business trip to Hiroshima on the 6th of August 1945. He managed to survive and return home to Negasaki; only to survive a second nuclear holocast three days later.

His wife survived the attack on Nagasaki by sheltering in a tunnel whilst fetching bandages to treat her husbands wounds from Hiroshima.

He went on to live a fairly normal life until he died in 2010.
