Survived Hiroshima facts

While investigating facts about Survived Hiroshima, I found out little known, but curios details like:

Gingko trees are so hardy that six are known to have survived the atom bomb and are still growing in Hiroshima—they also smell like barf.

A man by the name of Tsutomu Yamaguchi is the only person alive to be officially credited for surviving both nuclear bomb blasts. He was in Hiroshima on business for an employer when the bomb dropped, survived, and then went to work in Nagasaki three days later when the second detonated.

In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 50 of the best facts about Survived Hiroshima I managed to collect.

1. Six Ginkgo trees survived the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima without deformities. All six are still alive today.

2. There's a 400 year old Japanese Bonsai tree that was 2 miles away from Hiroshima when the Nuke went off, it survived because of a thick wall separating it from the blast. In 1976 Japan gave the tree to the US as a gift.

3. Tsutomo Yamaguchi (the man who survived both atom bombs) traveled 180 miles home to return to work despite his intense injuries from the first bomb. When he arrived at work his boss didn't believe that one bomb destroyed all of Hiroshima. Then the second bomb dropped on Nagasaki.

4. The Gingko Biloba species of tree is 270 million years old. It rarely suffers disease or insect attack and was one of the only living things to survive the Hiroshima nuclear bombing. The trees healed quickly and are still alive today.

5. A man named Tsutomu Yamaguchi was on a business trip in Hiroshima when the atomic bomb dropped. He was wounded, but returned to his hometown of Nagasaki, where the very next day the second atomic bomb was dropped. He survived both blasts and lived to 93.
