  • Man Escapes Two Killer Tsunamis

    Zahrul Fuadi, 39, joins Tsutomu Yamaguchi as the second in a pair of the luckiest men in history. Yamaguchi survived two atomic bombs, and Fuadi survived two killer tsunamis.

    Tsutomu Yamaguchi is the only person known to have survived both the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima and the one dropped on Nagasaki, in 1945. He died in January this year, aged 93.

    But now another man steps into the fold as he has not only lived through the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004, that killed 168 000 people, but also the Japanese earthquake and tsunami of 2011.

    He escaped the 2004 tidal wave, with his wife and two children, on his motorbike. He subsequently moved to Sendai in Japan, which bore the brunt of the most recent Tsunami’s landfall. He was fortunate to have survived. He was at work in the moments that the tsunami swept ashore. The university he works at is 20 kilometers inland.

    “I have survived two monumental disasters. I’m very grateful – not many people have experienced two big disasters and survived,” said Fuadi.
