Local news coverage from WNEP of the Three Mile Island Nuclear Plant Accident March 28th, 1979
https://rumble.com/vzlelt-three-mile-island-nuclear-plant-accident-march-28th-1979-local-news-coverag.html
I was born 4-5 months after 3 mile island, but in Northampton County, so far enough away from the accident.
Thornburgh panicked and nuclear power is still paying the price.
And MILLIONS died... Right?
Don’t forget that more people died in Ted Kennedy’s car than ever died from American Nuclear Power.
You forgot to include the most curious part of the timeline...
The fact that only 2 weeks prior to the incident on March 16 1979, predictive programming called “The China Syndrome” was released in theaters to scare the populace before the incident happened.
Coincidence?
You also forgot the last parts of the timeline....
More than 100 nuclear reactors that were planned to be built were scrapped in the years after the incident.
Coincidence?
The evening of March 27, I went to see a movie about some power plant problem - starring Jack Lemon.
By amazing coincidence, I just happened to finish watching The China Syndrome.
“Give me feedwater, Barney!”
The system was shutting itself down and they interrupted and stopped it. If they had left it alone, they would have been fine.
