On his way back to the station, he saw two parachutes along with along with a bomber. The next second he fell to the ground half burnt. He was around 3 km away from the place where the bomb blast occurred. The immediate harms included ruptured eardrums, temporary blindness, and burns over his body.

According to Yamaguchi, during this conversation, the sirens went off, and there was yet another similar bomb blast. And, this one was stronger than the one in Hiroshima. And unluckily, it Yamaguchi was just 3 km away even this time. He survived all the two blasts which changed the lives of people of Japan forever. The only disadvantage was that he was exposed to a lot of ionising radiation.
At the age of 93, he died due to cancer. He is the only registered survivor of both the blasts.
