To be caught up in one nuclear explosion...
Imagine, if you can, which you can't but enough about semantics, being in Hiroshima in 1945.
One man, Tsutsomu Yamaguchi was there, working.
The warped and criminal thinking that many more (American) lives would be saved by incinerating a few thousand dispensable Japanese meant he suffered horrific injuries that day.
Somehow he travelled through the dead and dying and returned to his home city Nagasaki.

Again, he became caught up in a nuclear blast, again, he survived.
He died recently, aged 93.
His story should not.
