"James Cameron's First Non-'Avatar' Film Since 'Titanic' Is About the Man Who Survived Both Atomic Bombs" by Military-dot-com (Fediverse presence not found #FPNF - if you know them, invite them) - Cameron interviewed the double-bomb survivor Tsutomu Yamaguchi before his death in 2009. On a business trip to Hiroshima, Yamaguchi was 2mi/3km from the blast. Returning home to Nagasaki, he was at work the same distance from the second bomb. https://www.military.com/off-duty/movies/2025/05/07/james-camerons-first-non-avatar-film-titanic-about-man-who-survived-both-atomic-bombs.html #WWII #military #nuclear #history

The article says there's no timeline yet for Cameron's movie about Tsutomu Yamaguchi's story of surviving both atomic bombs. In a case of truth being stranger than fiction, Yamaguchi described returning to work in Nagasaki. He was trying to explain to his skeptical boss that a single bomb had destroyed Hiroshima, when the Nagasaki bomb detonated 2mi/3km away. #WWII #military #nuclear #history
