Three Mile Island (pics!)

We are coming up on the 30th Anniversary of the 'accident' on Three Mile Island. For those who dont know...Unit 2 reactor core partially melted down and released radioactive material into the atmosphere.

Anyway...on Wednesday I went to TMI for work. The press people there wanted to tout how safe the plant was 30 years later.

Interestingly...my station didn't go right away when the accident happened. We didnt think it was a big deal at the time...and the crew even stopped at McDonalds on the way there.

Hindsight, right?

Pics of TMI.

Unit 1...still fully functional.

Looking at the plant:

Unit 1 cooling towers, you can see the shut down Unit 2 towers in the background:

The media walking toward the plant:

Me on the island...with batman and Buell.

Another look at Unit 1 cooling tower:

MELTDOWN...GET THE FUCK OUT!!!!!!!

Huh, and I always thought you were a black guy with goofy teeth.

I can see the pics just fine.

Is the camera you're holding a Sony HDR-FX?

My best friend has an HDR-FX1 that we use for filming the movies we make on our cross country trips.

NICE camera.

I have never seen it from that close before. I moved to the area a couple of years after the accident. I doubt they do it anymore, but people flying in to Harrisburg International on commuter planes always had a comment when the plane would bank right over the cooling towers on approach.

Alright asshole, now hosted on PB.
