Hiroshima - Bomb Run

What was it like to be part of the crew which dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima? This video clip, from a BBC documentary on the subject, includes recreated scenes and interviews with men who flew the mission. 

Paul Tibbets, the pilot-in-command, tells us that he had cyanide capsules in case the plane was downed and the crew captured.  When he asked whether anyone wanted a pill, one man said "yes."  He was the person who knew the most about the bomb.
