What To Write On A Birthday Card To Boss

Moria Casan who made a temporary replacement Carmen Barbieri

Do you know who was Enemon Kawaguki? For any writer film it will have crossed his mind a story like that happened to this man. If you ever think that luck has abandoned you, be good to think in Enemon Kawaguki. It was a Mitsubishi engineer during the Second World War in a factory in Hiroshima dedicated to the defense industry, which made some Allied bombing raids target. Kawaguki did not want to complain, the bombings were dangerous, but he kept telling himself that it was more dangerous to be outside of Japan. At that time it had 40 years and was an energetic man and sportsman. On the morning of August 6, 1945, around 8 am, was in his office. Approached a B-29 but the sirens of the city had not noticed it did not involve a bombing but could be a reconnaissance aircraft or aircraft for propaganda. After seeing waves of aircraft, a solo shot was nothing important. Workers at the factory, just in case, they went to shelters and he engaged in his work, took a moment before continuing. The first feeling was an intense glow and then lost consciousness. The intense heat, perhaps 3.000C °, coal instantly became thousands of human beings. Thousands more will survive a few seconds to be hit by debris or buried under collapsed buildings. Many were thrown into rivers that had been boiled. 200,000 people died, half of the daytime population of the city and disappeared about 60,000 buildings. Upon awakening, he was naked (his clothes were burned.) The factory was deserted and was on fire as it was 5 km from ground zero. Had received two wounds, one in the head, due to an iron, and another in the back, due to a tile. Deafened and stunned, Kawaguki left the factory and the center of Hiroshima from which a nasty blow hot air. He ran to the sea and then to the river that surrounded the factory. Was enough time in the water and climbed a hill from where he saw the devastation caused by the pump. Exhausted, fell asleep. The fresh sea breeze woke him at five o'clock. The wounds and burns hurt him, but the fresh air seemed to calm them. He walked to the outskirts of the city and along the tracks found a wagon train. It was dark and I was cold, so I went into the wagon, huddled inside and went back to sleep. He awoke two days later. Do not remember anything. Was aboard a train doctors and nurses had cared for his wounds. The train goes on and on and seemed to never stop. In the end, the morning of 9, the train stopped and got out of the car Kawaguki their own feet with fellow travelers survivors started walking toward the center of the city. Appeared to be in a beautiful city far from the war and its horrors. However, in a few minutes they heard the sound of a lone B-29 approaching from the sea. Kawaguki was thrown against the curb and hit the ground all he could. The other hikers who passed by her side she looked surprised thinking it was crazy. They were about 4 kilometers from the center of the explosion in Nagasaki. He saw the glow, the heat wave of destruction. This may not lose consciousness and saw the mushroom cloud and how those around him literally exploded into flames. Kawaguki never recovered psychologically from atomic double experience. After healing the wounds suffered by the second explosion was spent wandering aimlessly around the country, with reason but lost. Unable to concentrate, fearful and constantly watching the sky appear if he saw a lone B-29. After 12 years in 1957, died in a hospital Kawaguki Nagasaki. Finally, his body was not able to withstand the radiation received. Was filed as a case 163,641, the man who survived two atomic bombs. This is only the life of one of the 8 (yes, 8!) Persons who have survived the two bombs dropped on Japan. In Japan they are known as the Lucky Eight, and the only people who were both in Hiroshima and Nagasaki when the atomic bombs were dropped. While it is very likely that more people have survived the two blasts, in fact, the Peace Museum in Hiroshima could be estimated that about 160 Niju Hibakusha-literal translation: people-bombed twice, the lack of records by government and chaos after Japan's surrender made only eight cases were confirmed. Frustrated with this situation the famed TV producer Hidetaka Inazuka decided to film a documentary called "Niju Hibaku"-Double-irradiation in which the last survivor interview, Tsutomu Yamaguchi, 90 and seemingly out Enemon history. Yamaguchi was a Mitsubishi engineer working in the port of Nagasaki. As fate would have the fateful August 6th which was triggered in the disastrously famous "Little Boy" of 13 kilotons was in Hiroshima on a business trip in order to ensure the supply of spare parts to the shipyard in Nagasaki. At the exact moment of the explosion was located 2 km from Ground Zero sheltered by a fortified installation of the industrial area of \u200b\u200bHiroshima. However, the intense heat and caused tremors suffered severe burns and bruises all over his body. Just remember seeing the flash and how difficult it was to breathe the air so hot. After seeing the uncontrolled chaos and spent two days trying to get back to their city. Upon arrival, despite the wounds decided report what happened to his boss who, like the entire population of Japan, was totally ignorant of what happened. Tsutomu engineer knew that the weapon used on Hiroshima was anything but conventional and feared that the war is already lost. Their fears would be confirmed the same day, August 9, the second bomb exploded, Yamaguchi was in the offices of the yard about 3 km from ground zero reporting and describing everything seen. He felt the intense heat and then, in his words "I thought that the explosions frightened me were following me." Took to the streets when he came to think that was the end of the world. Fortunately since then Tsutomu could live a peaceful life and raise a family. Retired and still lives in Nagasaki and spends his free time writing poems. Sources: anfrix and histories of science.
