Alternatively - if being nuked twice didn’t kill him, what else has a chance of working?
Stomach cancer apparently.
Betrayed from the inside. Figures.

#93Reminds me of when the full-scale invasion started in Ukraine, I was in Kharkiv, and I met several people for whom "this was not their first war". The neighbour's family was from Nagorno-Karabakh, and had just fled the Armenia-Azerbaijan war that started a year earlier, the taxi driver was a Syrian refugee, and Kharkiv has many people from the Donbass region where the war started years before. People who have experie…
The similarities in repetitions are indeed present, but not only in wars. No one forced this person to go to work after such an event, but apparently, he is truly an exceptional worker, and the Mitsubishi managers were incredibly fortunate. He was already on his 9th day back at work, covered in bandages, after a nuclear explosion. (Of course, I think he wanted to share his experience as soon as possible to help others, given it was wartime.)
After the start of the war in Ukraine, companies divided into three categories:
Good ones: They paid 3+ months' salaries in advance, covered the relocation costs for the entire family, and other expenses. For startups, these were donation-investments of $100k like in Awesonic (YC).
Ordinary ones: They paid nothing extra but provided some money for relocation until the next salary.
Bad ones: They paid nothing, no advance payment and demanded reports for working hours from bomb shelters during bombings.
I think such coincidences are not accidental, and this case with Tsutomu falls into either the 2nd or 3rd category. It's unclear how these coincidences would play out in peaceful life without war, but no one knew them except the management of the company where he worked.
Are you still in Kharkiv?

I'm not in Kharkiv anymore, but I'm in a relatively calmer part of Western Ukraine.

Not sure why the downvotes, there have been many fake survivor stories from WW2.
Also bear in mind that I literally say that I feel bad to even contemplate that possibility. It just feels wrong to doubt a person who tells you such tragedy. But perhaps that's how everybody felt and might be the reason why one could actually pull off such a fake story
Did you even read the article though? I doubt his wife and child wouldn't have recognized if their father had died and someone else had assumed his identity

Stay safe, I hope humanity will heal from the virus of war in the near future.
