Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on Aug 6th, 1945, the date of the first American atomic bombing. He was there on a business trip for his company, a shipbuilding outfit. Yamaguchi survived the blast with major burns to the left side of the upper half of his body.The blast also left him temporarily blind and ruptured both his eardrums. Despite his injuries, he crawled to shelter, rested briefly and set out to find two of his work colleagues, who were also lucky enough to have survived the blast. Yamaguchi spent the night following the bombing in an air raid shelter before returning to his home in Nagasaki.

Just three days after surviving the blast at Hiroshima, Yamaguchi also survived the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. He was at his place of work, actually telling the story of surviving the bomb at Hiroshima to his boss when the second bomb was dropped.Yamaguchi survived this catastrophe with no direct injuries, but suffered an infection of his burns from the first blast due to being unable to receive proper medical attention.

He ended up living to be 93.

There is a downhill turn with houses along both sides of the street in my hometown. My uncle has hit one of the houses on the turn twice. They now have a guardrail so no one can hit the house.

My friend has gotten his wife prego 6 times. Not a one was planned. They just like to drink a lot of wine when the kids are out of the house

I was in the passenger seat three different times when the same guy had accidents. All of them his fault, all of them because we were talking and he apparently couldn't talk and watch the road at the same time.

Not a car accident but my mind jumped to this

http://www.nbcnews.com/id/15254176/ns/us_news-life/t/plane-hit-home-woman-hurt-macys-parade/

A woman whose apartment was burned in the high-rise crash of New York Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle's plane was the victim of another frightening, bizarre and high-profile Manhattan accident years earlier, when a lamppost knocked over by a parade float seriously injured her.

A news story from 1998, nearly 8 or so years earlier

http://articles.latimes.com/1998/may/05/news/mn-46622

Kathleen Caronna, 34, was in a coma for almost a month after a hunk of metal struck her in the head when fierce wind sent the Cat in the Hat balloon careening into a lamppost as she watched the parade.
