Footnote

If you want to talk about unlucky SOBs, one guy actually had this happen to him. He lived in Nagasaki and was visiting Hiroshima when the first A-Bomb was dropped.

He survived that and went home to his family. If I recall correctly, he was in the process of telling
them about it when the second one was dropped.

The next time you’re down in the dumps and think you’re the unluckiest guy in the world or that people are out to get you, remember him.

Actually, maybe he wasn’t so unlucky after all. When he saw that flash, he knew exactly what it was, and dragged his family instantly into their bomb shelter, and he and his family survived that, too.
