[00:00:00]August [music] 6th, 1945.

[00:00:03]A Japanese engineer stood beneath a clear blue sky in Hiroshima when the world suddenly turned white. A blinding flash erased the city in seconds, throwing him through the air as buildings melted around him.

[00:00:15]Burned and injured, [music] he somehow survived the atomic explosion, but the nightmare wasn't over.

[00:00:21]Two days later, [music] covered in bandages, he boarded a crowded train and traveled home to Nagasaki. [music] On the morning of August 9th, he tried warning his coworkers that a single bomb had destroyed Hiroshima.

[00:00:33]Many refused to believe him.

[00:00:35]Then suddenly, another flash exploded across the sky.

[00:00:40]The second atomic bomb tore through [music] Nagasaki with terrifying force.

[00:00:44]Once again, he survived collapsing buildings, firestorms, and radioactive destruction.

[00:00:49]Out of millions caught in World War II, he became the rare man officially recognized as surviving both atomic bombings.

[00:00:56]Even [music] decades later, he described the same unbearable silence after each blast.

[00:01:02]A silence he never forgot.
