00:00What does it feel like to drop an atomic bomb? Paul Tibbetts never regretted flying the Hiroshima mission. Why is that?

00:07I've never lost a night's sleep.

00:10At 8.15am, a B-29 bomber dropped the atomic bomb.

00:1530-year-old commander and pilot Paul Tibbetts sat at the controls. He took pride in his mission. The bomber bore his mother's name, Enola Gay.

00:24The 4,400 kilobomb plummeted towards Hiroshima, exploding at about 600 meters above the ground.

00:32Tibbetts immediately turned back and picked up speed to escape the blast.

00:36We got hit by the shockwave. That was a good kick in your pants.

00:41The blast obliterated countless buildings. 80,000 people died instantly.

00:46We saw this cloud of boiling dust and debris below us with a tremendous mushroom on top.

00:52By the end of 1945, more than 135,000 deaths had been recorded.

00:58Tibbetts believed in the U.S. rationale of the time.

01:00The U.S. wanted to force Japan to surrender and put an end to the Second World War.

01:05Invading Japan would have cost millions of lives.

01:09I might take some lives, but I'll save many more.

01:13Today, there is a heated debate about whether the dropping of atomic bombs forced Japan to surrender in World War II.

01:19A growing number of historians argue the Soviet invasion of Japan mattered more,

01:24and the use of the atomic bomb was first and foremost a war crime.

01:32Tibbetts died in 2007 and was viewed by many Americans as a war hero.

01:38Runes from the bombing are still visible today in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park.
