The BBC has apologised to the Japanese Embassy after jokes were made on QI regarding the atomic bomb attacks. A guy who survived both bombs was described as "the unluckiest man alive".

Is it still too soon?

He was in Hiroshima on a business trip on 6 August 1945 when the city was zapped to bits by an atomic bomb.
He suffered serious burns and spent a night in Hiroshima before returning to his home city of Nagasaki just before it was bombed on 9 August.

So his serious burns wounds were dressed in the local hospital outpatients unit. He then spent a peaceful couple of nights in the only local hotel left standing. The following day he took a cab through the unusually quiet streets to Hiroshima train station, which by an act of god had been spared from any damage by the atomic bomb. And despite widespread devastation, a complete breakdown in communication and infrastructure, the 1015 Nagasaki Express was able to leave on time!
Seems a bit of a myth to me.

I'm sure that episode was on months ago, did they see it on 'Dave'

oversensitive springs to mind, he was unlucky

It's a bit 'pearl harbour' outside tonight.

There's a nip in the air.

whatever you think of this, its clear that we now have free speech for the dumb as the norm here, i feel comments are now a waste of time about anything anymore as apathy rules, hence ..........

That part of your message is disappearing into an ironic philosophical black hole.

10 out of ten durham, glad you spotted the irony and liked the pathos
