His mother did everything she could to protect him, so now he can tell this story. Bless them both.

i feel so sorry for this guy. his whole childhood and life was changed because of this.

You, my friend, are a legend. I feel sorry for what happened in the past, and wish you the best in life, you absolute legend.

I’ve now seen both Hiroshima and Najasaki Bombing survivor’s stories. I’ve almost cried on both of them, they both were at a young age imagine how nice their life without this. I hope something like this never happens, again.

A bleeding head due to small glass shards being embedded in it and the other two being apparently uninjured is a miracle. People right by the detonation zone would've been vaporized. Many others would've burned to death or even had their skin melt off, which are agonizing ways to die. Yet more would have burn injuries, internal injuries, blindness etc. The Yamashita's are exceptionally fortunate to have lived through that horror. Nukes should not exist. Nuclear energy should be used as an alternative power source and nothing more.

“If I had a dollar for every nuclear bombing I survived, I’d have two dollars, which isn’t much but very strange considering the circumstances.”

there are no winners in war, only losers.

Such a sweet voice so sad my grandfather died in pearl harbor but still he didn’t deserve this

The fact that we can hear firsthand accounts from these remarkable survivors SHOULD be enough to know that this will never happen again…🕊️

This guy, I would shake his hand and listen to everything he had to say.

I do feel sorry for this guy. He was just a kid on "the wrong side of history."

[nadlisse]

I hope nothing else happens in the world like that.

This man has a better mastery of the English language then native speakers

Where I feel for these people having their lives changed, millions of lives were changed by that war around the world. The Japanese tortured and mutilated millions from China, Korea to the Philippines. Ask any of those still alive if they believe what happened in Hiroshima was justified.

When amrica has nukes they flash there power but when the soviets have nukes its very diffrent
