Yeah, that guy was badass. That's why I always think it's weird that everyone just laughs at the whole "Duck and Cover" thing we had going in the US during the Cold war. If you are far enough away from the explosion, even if you are outside, ducking and covering could save your fucking life. At least keep you from being flash burned to death.
Let's give it a try shall we... Why would you find live trees in Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the bombs went down? Because Tsutomu Yamaguchi went past them on his daily run and the explosion was just scared to cross over his path.
I am never going to say another Chuck Norris joke again (well I haven't since he backed Huckabee in the '08 elections)...they will now be Su..Su..magu...Tsutomu Yamaguchi jokes.
Nukes would have had little or no effect beyond 4 mile radius from the epicenter... Im guessing city was a little bit bigger then that... so... what he managed to accomplish is not extraordinary by any means.
Thus... Chuck is still King and unless this guy comes back to life, travels back in time to star in a couple of movies and a 80s TV show... then grows a beard and quietly retires only to rise back to fame when a new generation of 4chan users watch the 22nd rerun of the original tvseries.
Are you effing crazy? o.O I wonder if you're one of them modern crackpots who think "Al Queda is scary," while expressing the statement that "nukes are cool?" I mean, Al Queda has nothing on matually assured destruction. Nothing at all!
He did brag about it, but not in a smug way. Whenever he brought it up, it was always in a discussion regarding nuclear war. People arguing that it was okay were quickly shot down when he brought up he saw what heat, destruction and radiation does first hand.... twice.
You have to note that back then, the idea of bombing specifically to kill large numbers of civillians was considered okay, and that having one bomb creating more destuction then an entire airfleet was a very apealing idea.
@boonw WMD wasn't considered OK then. It was used to put an end to the war. It may of been a horrific event, but it actually saved lives by forcing Japan to surrender. And, at the same time showing military might to intimidate Stalin.
-They were, it was controvetial, but for the most part, WMD's were considered ok for war. The reason why is because they didnt understand the long term effects. They were okay leveling entire cities conventionally, but unlike conventional bombings, WMD have long term effects, giving people horrific disseases, affecting the unborn, and harming people hundreds of miles away. Lets not forget were were on the receiving end if the reds snapped.
That's a bad week. Not often someone can ask how was your week and you reply with saying, "2 Goddamn Nukes landed on me and my fucking ears are ringing like a bitch! How was yours?"

You are assuming he isn't lying, what "proof" did he give to support his claims?
Of course he didn't brag about it, someone would have since proven him to be a total fraud.
And fuck off, I know some tard is going to say "do not talk ill of the dead!", to that I say, tell your mom/wife/daughter to blow me!

Are you retarded? It wasn't okay to drop bombs back then. Everyone pretty much was against it. Just no one was doing anything to prevent it.
