This guy wasn't at Pearl Harbor.

I'm guessing this thread is going to be filled with the most xenophobic crap ever.

There were also at least 2 people who survived both Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Also if not faint of heart look up Ant Walking Alligator People.

This guy was a Methodist minister who was educated in America of the United States.

“Tanimoto was outside moving furniture with a friend, and after seeing a bright flash of light, he sought cover between two large rocks. Tanimoto, unhurt, ran into the city and found his family safe.”

“ Due to his public fundraising activities, he developed an unwanted reputation as a publicity seeker and attracted the attention of the U.S and Japanese authorities as a potential "anti-nuke trouble-maker".”

Hmmm … he was “ anti-nuke” … that’s hard to believe.
