Tale of Atom Bomb

                In the book, The Last Train from Hiroshima published by Henry Hold claims to reveal a secret accident with the atom bomb that killed one American and irradiated others and greatly reduced the weapon’s destructive power. The article by William J. Broad goes on to say, “There is just one problem that section of the book and other technical details of the mission are based on the recollections of Joseph Fuoco, who is described as a last-minute substitute on one of the two observation planes that escorted the Enola Gay.

                Some people who have read this book say that Joseph Fuoco was just an imposter. Others say that he just wasn’t on the plane. After James R. Corliss told the story about how Joseph Fuoco was on the plane with him, people started to believe that he was not an imposter.

                After Joseph Fuoco died in 2008 claiming that he had never been on the plane with Mr. Corliss people started to lean towards believing Fuoco’s story.

                Now many years later, we are still confused as to which story to believe. We are all confused and we don’t know if Fuoco was telling the truth when he said that he was never on the plane with Corliss. If he says that he wasn’t on the plane then, I believe that he is telling the truth.
