That an interesting person to meet especially on the anniversary of the day.

I stumbled across this quote a long time ago and found it again after reading your post Tabs.

Quote:
"My God, what have we done?" - Robert Lewis, the co-pilot of the Enola Gay, the B-29 that dropped the first atomic bomb.
I cannot imagine what went through these guys minds as they flew away. His comments are very interesting and yes, I agree with Howard thats quite a priveledge meeting such a man. I cannot even begin to imagine what its like to be him, and I have no agenda when I say this.

As a kid growing up these bombs fascinated me and I could not tread enough about them especially the actual explosion and the damage. As an adult I find it even more fascinating what kind of emotional impact it had on survivors and those involved in the decision and deployment.
