Richard Rhodes Quote
Rather than sleep, Tibbets crawled through the thirty-foot tunnel to chat with the waist crew, wondering if they knew what they were carrying. A chemist's nightmare, the tail gunner, Robert Caron, guessed, then a physicist's nightmare. Not exactly, Tibbets hedged. Tibbets was leaving by the time Caron put two and two together:'Tibbets stayed a little longer, and then started to crawl forward up the tunnel. I remembered something else, and just as the last of the Old Man was disappearing, I sort of tugged at his foot, which was still showing. He came sliding back in a hurry, thinking maybe something was wrong. What's the matter?I looked at him and said, Colonel, are we splitting atoms today?This time he gave me a really funny look, and said, That's about it.
