when my grandfather met colonel tibbetts, he asked, has anybody been given you a hard time about using that weapon? tibbetts told him that, no, he had not had that experience, but grandpa said, if you do, you tell them that was my decision, not users, so he kept it alone to himself. five years later he was getting ready to meeting mcarthur, and had had with him a photographer, who had taken some of the first photos of the destruction. o'donnell was very shaken by that. he had my grandfather alone and asked him, did you ever have any regrets about using that weapon? my grandpa said, hell yes, you don't use something without regretting to have to do it. he said he would do the same thing under the same circumstances, but regretted having to do it. and a survive said says, i think the basic idea of peace is to have some idea of other people's suffering, so that going forward, we can debate the use of the bomb and whether or not it was just or right, but i think we all have to look with eyes wide open on what those bombs did, and who it happened to and prevent it. >> thank you. i think tha

they got the shockwave, tibbetts, and i believe both. i believe they said that after the shockwave hit them, they could taste it, it tasted like metal. i assume it was the radiation. they could all taste metal. they dove to get away from hiroshima. one of the survivors was in a schoolyard in hiroshima and she remembered just before the bomb hit, she remembered seeing a curved contrail. the enola gay dropped the bomb and then dove to get away as fast as possible. she was knocked out but that was the last thing she saw before the bomb exploded. it wasn't -- is it the pilot of boxcar that i believe went on what's my line later in the 1950's and met the reverend from hiroshima? he felt really bad, guilty and bad about the bombing. >> the pilots of the enola gay had been told it would drop this very powerful bomb, but other than the small number of people who had witnessed this test at trinity, no one understood what these bombs were capable of. i think everyone was shocked, even the people who have studied and built the bomb, were shocked at

tibbett was not easy to know for me. tibbett used to come to los alamos and i would periodically see him there. there, he would deal with the girl that became my wife. she got to know him better than i did and got along better with him. tibbett was the commanding officer, that's all. he was not really interested in some young civilian working on a project. i mean, he took me like all the rest of those civilians working on that project. he was the big gun and i stayed out of his hair. them, the whole gang, i ran around with them. we would go into salt lake city and we would all pile into one room. i'm in there with civilian clothes, they are there with army clothes. they never asked the question, never. one night, we went into a hotel -- i don't know -- there was a stand's hat atop a wash and somebody got sick in the sailor's hat. that was a lot of fun. we just ran around together, that's all. they got to know me. they knew i was working. because there were a lot of civilians connected with los alamos. they would just say

we have the flight record and the watch of colonel paul tibbetts jr., the pilot, dropped the bomb oniroshima. we have here the logbook. captain robert lewis, the co-pilot, so the primitive computer of the day, which is a way of computing an aircraft true air speed, which is essential, of course, to flight and to bombing. as we walk over here, we have examples of glass bottles that were taken from the wreckage of nagasaki. you can see the intense heat literally melting glass not so far from ground zero. nagasaki was not the original target of bomb number two. another city had been chosen but the cloud cover was too difficult to drop the bomb on it and the mission was changed to nagasaki and i often think of -- i've been saying this to students for 30 years as a universal professor the unluckiest city on earth by nothing more than an accident of weather and a bit of chance nagasaki received the second atomic bombing. >> battle ship missouri, 53,000 ton of the third fleet becomes the scene of an unforgettable ceremony marking the complete and formal surrender of japan. in the bay of tok

tibbetts says this expressly in his autobiography. they flew this mission, what on earth is one or two or three planes going to do? nothing. they're not dangerous. maybe a reconnaissance mission, whatever. and there's so little fuel left that they're saving their fighter planes for the serious stuff, which are the incendiary raids. so they weren't touched. they weren't touched. actually, you know something, tibbetts said after the war that the hiroshima mission was the most boring mission he'd ever flown. which, in a way, is a terrifying advertisement to my book. but it's also astonishingly revealing about how perfect that mission was. it was the perfect mission. last one. i'm sorry. i'm being told it's the last question. >> first of all, i would like to say that today is the last day for me to be a japanese. and tomorrow i'm going to be a u.s. citizen. >> oh, wow. [ applause ] >> after being here for 33 years. i finally decided to become a u.s. citizen. i'm going to swear in tomorrow. i have known about hiroshima a lot, naturally as

as i sure you know, the commander is called to bits, the -- paul tibbetts, still alive today. the tailgunner, bob, a remarkable man, died in 1995. i interviewed him who knew him -- people who knew him well. the plane was only armed with a tail turret. they stripped it out completely so they would be able to carry this very heavy bomb. they were unarmed apart from the tail. he was a small man, 5'5". he fit into this cost or phobic turret -- claustrophobic to rich. he carried with him several packs of lucky stripes, which he smoked all the way there and back, and a photograph of his wife and little baby that were dangling in a photograph from his oxygen chart. they were with him all the way there and back and gave him succor as he continued the mission. he carried with him a camera. it was given to him at the last moment by a photographic officer, before he boarded the plane. he said you will have a ring side view. take any photographs you can. don't reset the aperture or focus, whatever you see, press the button. you give him this camera. sure enough as the airplane dived away

where colonel tibbetts actually personally came and named the bomber after his mother to become the firstirst b-29 aircraft to drop an atomic bomb. >> we are at the national museum air forces air-powered gallery. this is at the tail end of the world war ii story. the first thing we will look at is the atomic three weapons. more commonly known as the fat man atomic bomb. the reason this is significant signaluse it is a finer of the beginning of the atomic age, the end of world war ii, and it is a marker of the supremacy of american military and scientific and industrial endr at mid century and the of world war ii. the reason it is called "fat man" is obvious. it is a fat round bomb. , its shape was mainly because of its method. it is round because it is an implosion method. there is a sphere of implosive's -- explosives that create a smaller sphere to create a chain reaction to release this tremendous energy resulting in an atomic explosion. the weapon we have on display is real. it is a mark three atomic weapon. it has been restored to look like the fat man bomb that was dropped on august

the scientists said, i think we can do it, when tibbetts asked. the scientist said i think we can do it, i think we can arm that complicated plutonium bomb in three days. that is why the second bomb was dropped. the decision was made on tinian by lt. col. and some scientists. barbara: i'm going to interject ofe with a question from one the people who is participating, ed fields, who asks, what the demonstration of a a-bomb, considered as an option to enter the war? >> it was discussed but set aside with the argument that if it willdemonstration, not have much of an effect, because we have been wiping out every week and japan. why would a demonstration affect the japanese more than that instruction of these cities -- more than that description -- de struction of these cities? barbara: with firebombs, right? >> firebombs and every thing else. barbara: 01 did you have a follow-up? japanrification, why did not immediately surrender after hiroshima? why it took two or three days after nagasaki for them to agree to an unconditional surrender? >> because

. >> and i'll just -- i'll piggyback, we were talking a minute ago about colonel tibbet tibbetts. when my grandfather met him after the war, he asked him has anybody been giving you a hard time about using that weapon about dropping the atomic bomb. he told him he had not had that experience. grandpa said if you do, you tell them that was my decision, not yours. so he kept the decision to himself. five years later he was on wake island getting ready to meet with general mcarthur, and he had with him a white house photographer named joe o'donnell who had been a marine photographer and taken some of the first photos of the destruction at hiroshima and nagasaki, and o'donnell had my -- he had been very shaken by that and o'donnell had my grandfather alone for a couple of minutes, and he asked him point-blank, he said didn't you ever have any regrets about using that weapon? and my grandfather said, hell, yes. you don't use something like that without regretting having to use it. he said he would do the same thing again under the same circumstances, but he regretted having to do it. i

i love and tibbetts, i am here because of him. mandy, you have done quite a remarkable you know? on my own and i was so scared, but i knew they were here. honest to god, victoria, i cannot thank the public enough and the media and more importantly, the lads for backing me up, you know. i importantly, the lads for backing me up, you know. lam importantly, the lads for backing me up, you know. iamjust importantly, the lads for backing me up, you know. i am just totally overwhelmed. chris unsworth and andy woodward talking to me in november 2016. the independent review commissioned by the fa has looked into what the fa and clubs knew and did about allegations of child sexual abuse between 1970 and 2005. publication of the report has been delayed by legal proceedings and further allegations, but all criminal matters have now concluded. yet there's still no date for publication and that's left some survivors frustrated. let's talk to andy woodward who gave evidence to the fa's review. good morning to you, and e. good morning, victoria. what do you think about the fact that this report

. >> when i would collect the tibbetts and time went on i learned more about him as our friendship grewed to be home to kiss the boys every night. and then make them breakfast in the morning. >> when he got on the train everyone seemed equal to hill. he had time for everybody. >> joe was a regular. he bought round of coffee for fellow passengers and crew. and got it know the people he traveled with. >> these guys broke their necks. keeping their balance. collecting tickets and putting bags heavy as hell for hours. it became really good friends. >> he was very interested in my life. my children. time went on my grandchildren. people don't do that today. people don't take out to say hello and nod their head to the average working person. they look at us like we're important people. >> he would treat the conductor the same as he would the president of the united states. that is what dad taught us. that everybody deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. >> after joe became vice president he cut down on his commute. but he kept in touch. >> when greg weaver had a heart attack, he got

fujita, who was the leader of the pearl harbor attack, met in 1959 with paul tibbetts, who is one of the ones that dropped the bomb and this is his quote. you did the right thing. the japanese attitude at that time was fanatic. every man, woman and child would have resisted the invasion with sticks and stones. and finally, it's very important that this narrative that has developed, but when you speak to the people that actually were adults and remember, they will all say when they saw the american bombers flying overhead and then when they heard about the bombs, they were so happy because there was no way, they felt terrible for the ones that had passed away but they knew if the war came on land at that time about 3 million people would have died so it was a terrible. and the interesting thing is i was in baghdad before the war and it was the exact same situation. the people were so desperate, nothing could lodge a bad ruler and they said let the americans come. some of us will die but at least we'll be free. two important facts, number one, over 70 million leaflets were distributed.
