Princely death
AN unforgettable anecdote about the certainty of death is about a Japanese engineer who survived two atomic blasts that hit Japan in World War II. Working for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries then, Tsutomu Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on a business trip. He was getting off a streetcar when the first atomic bomb “Little Boy,” a uranium gun-type bomb, killed approximately 80,000 people. Only less than two miles away from the epicenter, Yamaguchi sustained ruptured eardrums and upper torso burns.
