    I'd say he does, I doubt he'll survive a third.

    Poor guy though - two atom bombs and no superpowers.

    Still, at least he probably wins the award for the Most Justifiably Paranoid Person in the Universe.

    Fuchida was almost as badly off. He led the attack on Pearl Harbour, was at Hiroshima (Actually, he was flying from Hiroshima and saw the explosion out the window), and was on board USS Missouri for the surrender ceremony.

    He became a priest. Not surprised, really.

    That's pretty cool, in fairness. Also, very unfortunate.

    I wonder if he knew (the unsinkable) Molly Brown, because if they ever married and had children, they would rival the powers of Chuck Norris.

    I was on a bus journey just, like, the other day, and, like, this guy beside me, was, like, totally dropping F-bombs on the phone the whole journey.

    Where's my medal?

    "I was telling my company supervisor in Nagasaki that one bomb had destroyed all of Hiroshima. He told me I was crazy.

    "Just as he said that, the bomb fell on Nagasaki."

    Famous last words?
