Pilot of Enola Gay dies
Peacefully in his bed ironically.
Paul Tibbets, the American bomber pilot whose plane Enola Gay dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, has died.
Last words? " I am Jack the Ripper."
He was 92 and insisted almost to the end he had no regrets about the mission and slept just fine at night.
In a bomb shelter.
Paul Tibbets polarised the world - some say he was a hero, others branded him a war criminal. Tibbets himself characterised his actions as that of an officer carrying out his duty.
All I know is this. If there is a heaven and St. Peter really is waiting at the gates, he's probably got some explaining to do.
