Bombardier says he has no apologies for Hiroshima blast
Thomas Ferebee, 71, a Mocksville native who dropped the first atomic bomb, tells the Charlotte Observer he bears no remorse for ending World War II. He recalls the summer morning 45 years ago when, as a 26 year old bombardier, he prepared to unleash a weapon kept secret to end the war. He stresses the era's desire to conclude the conflict and says the bomb's success justified the action.
