Pictured is Tsutomu Yanaguchi, who was in Hiroshima on business on the day the Atomic Bomb was dropped by the Allies. He managed to survive and return home to Nagasaki, where days later he survived another bomb drop, which resulted in the ending of World War II. He is the only known person to have survived both Atomic Bombs. He recently passed away at the age of 93.
The abandoned city of Pripyat, Ukraine is seen with the Chernobyl Nuclear plant in the distance. On April 26, 1986 at 1:23 am local time, the plant's number 4 reactor suffered what has been described as the worst nuclear reactor accident in history. As a result, 400 times more fallout was released than had been by the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. In addition to the 56 direct deaths, it is estimated that 600,000 were exposed to the radiation, possibly resulting in 4000 lifetime cancer deaths.
