On Aug. 9, 1945, his 27th birthday, Captain Beahan was the bombardier on the B-29 "Bock's Car" that dropped the atomic bomb on Nagasaki, the second dropped on Japan. It was estimated that 70,000 people were killed.

Captain Beahan flew in a plane that escorted the Enola Gay, which dropped the first atomic bomb, that one on Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945.

In 1985, on the 40th anniversary of the Nagasaki bombing, Mr. Beahan said he would never apologize for the bombing. But he said he hoped to be the last man ever to drop such a bomb on people.

''I saw a mushroom cloud bubbling and flashing orange, red and green,'' Mr. Beahan said. ''It looked like a picture of hell. The ground itself was covered by a rolling black smoke. I was told the area would be destroyed, but I didn't know the meaning of an atomic bomb.''

Mr. Beahan retired from the Air Force as a lieutenant colonel in 1963 and worked for Brown & Root Inc., an engineering and construction concern, as a technical writer until he retired in 1985.

  • Some of you owe your life to him; if it weren’t for the second atomic bomb being dropped Japan wouldn't have surrendered to the U.S. so those of you who haven’t fought for anything a day in your pathetic life should really reconsider what you said. Like it or not he was a war hero who fought for your life, obviously it was a waste because you arrogant unappreciative fucks aren’t grateful for what he did for you.

  • Had we not dropped the two bombs, we would have invaded the Japanese main land. It was estimated that 3 million people would have died as a result. The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki mercifully brought to an end, the brutal WW II. It does not take a rocket scientist to-figure out which method saved more lives.

  • @THELINDGRENN Eisenhower had no say in the Pacific. It was MacArthur and Nimitz and they knew damn well the war was not over. Every surrender request we sent to Japan the Japanese dismissed. Every request Japan made to surrender was full of terms and not even a real surrender; The Imperial Government will stay in power, the Japanese Army will oversee its own disarmament. That's not a surrender that's a "put the war on hold until we can rebuild our military."

  • @southparkfan2717 Are you unable to read? USA ignored Japan's request for peace; thus they shut off all communications with Japan. Thus Japan asked to surrender to the Soviet Union, but was again ignored. They asked to surrender three months before USA dropped the A-Bomb, again, you can easily look up this by yourself. The war was already over, USA had complete air-control, all of Japan was starving: As Eisenhower said: Japan was already defeated, an invasion was superfluous.

  • @THELINDGRENN We dropped it because the war was not over. Japan refused to surrender because they were bound by the Bushido (the way of the Samurai) death in battle was the most glorious thing they could achieve in life. If we invaded casualties would have been in the tens of millions. They had 3 million elite troops ready, they were dusting off muzzle loading rifles for civilians, they were training girls to charge with spears. Sure we shoved Hitlers head up his ass, but the war was not over.

  • @southparkfan2717 Resorting to name calling is the most inglorious way of admitting that you've lost the argument. Though, this is not even up for debate; it's beyond contestation; Japan was already defeated, USA dropped it just to demonstrate its power and test the bomb on human beings.

  • @THELINDGRENN I'll debate this with somebody worth debating. Not a Coward Nazi Piece of Shit yourself.

  • @southparkfan2717 Hilarious! Japan was already defeated; Eisenhower also confirmed it; saying that the dropping of the A-Bomb was unforgivable. Furthermore; Japan had been asking for peace three months before the A-bomb ever dropped. Gotta love those History books of yours!

  • @THELINDGRENN Better then the 30 million that would have been killed had Operation Downfall proceeded.

  • Apart from any lost lives whether out of necessity or otherwise, the sad truth about America's perpetual state of Manifest Destiny is that we somehow have done the world a favor or that we owe a debt of gratitude and heroic recognition to anyone who does to others exactly what we all prefer not to be done to ourselves. No. There is nothing heroic about the military's destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki with nuclear weapons.

  • It was war. We were firebombing cities and destroying their ability to wage war with all means we had. They were warned and would not surrender. The alternative was a vastly larger loss of life on both sides. and Frostedflake101 has it exactly right.
