Japan man proves he survived both atomic bombs

 Tokyo (AFP) March 25, 2009
 Japan has certified a 93-year-old man as the first known survivor of both US atomic bombings in World War II, in the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Tsutomu Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima when an American plane dropped an atomic bomb on August 6, 1945. He survived with serious burns and returned to his hometown of Nagasaki, where the second bomb was dropped three days later.

Yamaguchi had already been certified a "hibakusha" or radiation survivor of the Nagasaki bombing but was officially confirmed this week as having lived through Hiroshima too.

"I just wanted to clarify the horror only a double atomic bomb survivor could understand," Yamaguchi told reporters. "I hope to hand over the horror of atomic bombs and the importance of peace to our next generations."
