Nagasaki after the bomb
It doesn't compare to this. Tsutomo Yamaguchi finished a temporary work contract for Mitsubishi in Hiroshima on August 5, 1945. The next morning, he set out to take the train to go home Nagasaki, when his day was interrupted by an atomic bomb explosion. Although he was badly burned and unable to hear, he persevered and somehow caught the train to Nagasaki.
Once in Nagasaki, Yamaguchi reported for work again. His boss there did not believe Yamaguchi that a bomb had destroyed all of Hiroshima, until a blinding light appeared through the window. This was perhaps the biggest "I told you so" moment of all time.
Somehow, Yamaguchi survived both blasts and exposure to deadly radiation, living to become an advocate of a denuclearized world. He passed away last week at the age of 93.
