On the morning of August 6, 1945, Tibbets' crew dropped the bomb, code-named <A href="http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Little+Boy" linkindex="82">"Little Boy,"</A> over Hiroshima. More than 70,000 people were killed instantly. By the end of 1945, the death toll had reached about 140,000. Tibbets said in later interviews that though he was not proud of causing so much death, he did not regret his role in the bombing and believed the actions of his crew ultimately saved more lives than they took. To this day, the <A href="http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Bombing+of+Hiroshima" linkindex="83">bombing of Hiroshima</A> remains a source of moral and ethical debate.</SPAN> <A href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7073441.stm" linkindex="84">More on the subject...</A></DIV></TD></tr></table></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/BFF7B2D5-1FFA-421A-8497-F037E355812B/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
