Happen to see a list of famous/ semi famous people who died this year on fox net. These two people were interesting to me.
Maria Olivia da Silva
The Brazilian set the world record for the Oldest Woman. She was born in February 1880 and died at the reported age of 130. She attributed her long life to a daily diet of rice, beans and bananas.
Tsutomu Yamaguchi
The only person officially recognized as a survivor of both the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings at the end of World War II died January 4 at age 93. Yamaguchi was in Hiroshima on a business trip on August 6, 1945, when a U.S. B-29 dropped an atomic bomb on the city. He suffered serious burns to his upper body and spent the night in the city. He then returned to his hometown of Nagasaki, which suffered a second U.S. atomic bomb attack three days later.
