Tsutomu Yamaguchi, the only person to be officially recognised as a survivor of both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombs has just died.

The possibility that such a person existed never occurred to me. I can't begin to imagine how he felt, what he remembered, or how he lived with this distinction, one that will probably be unique in human history.

In completely bad taste, how about: WHY ME?

Must have felt weird being nuked twice and survived.
