I always find it fascinating to hear stories like that and immediately feeling bad that my first thought is: what is the likelihood of this being an identity theft comlared with likelihood that after surviving two atomic bombs one lives up to 93 years?

- lazide 2y agoAlternatively - if being nuked twice didn’t kill him, what else has a chance of working?
- dotancohen 2y agoStomach cancer apparently.
- lazide 2y agoBetrayed from the inside. Figures.
- layer8 2y agoYep, a lot of superheroes were created by radiation. Dropping atomic bombs actually strengthens the enemy. That’s the real reason why they stopped doing it.
- mensetmanusman 2y agoNot sure why the downvotes, there have been many fake survivor stories from WW2.
- ithkuil 2y agoAlso 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
- nerdponx 2y agoPulling off a completely fake story is one thing. An elderly survivor of one bomb carrying out identity theft in order to claim to have survived both bombs is another thing entirely.
