Today’s Highlight in History:

On March 28, 1941, novelist and critic Virginia Woolf, 59, drowned herself near her home in Lewes, East Sussex, England.

On this date:

In 1834, the U.S. Senate voted to censure President Andrew Jackson for the removal of federal deposits from the Bank of the United States.

In 1854, during the Crimean War, Britain and France declared war on Russia.

In 1896, the opera “Andrea Chenier,” by Umberto Giordano, premiered in Milan, Italy.

In 1898, the Supreme Court, in United States v. Wong Kim Ark, ruled that a child born in the United States to Chinese immigrants was a U.S. citizen.

In 1930, the names of the Turkish cities of Constantinople and Angora were changed to Istanbul and Ankara.

In 1935, the notorious Nazi propaganda film “Triumph des Willens” (Triumph of the Will), directed by Leni Riefenstahl, premiered in Berlin with Adolf Hitler present.

In 1955, John Marshall Harlan II was sworn in as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.

In 1965, an earthquake of magnitude 7.4 struck La Ligua, Chile, leaving about 400 people dead or missing, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

In 1969, the 34th president of the United States, Dwight D. Eisenhower, died in Washington, D.C. at age 78.

In 1979, America’s worst commercial nuclear accident occurred with a partial meltdown inside the Unit 2 reactor at the Three Mile Island plant near Middletown, Pennsylvania.

In 1987, Maria von Trapp, whose life story inspired the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “The Sound of Music,” died in Morrisville, Vermont, at age 82.

In 1990, President George H.W. Bush presented the Congressional Gold Medal to the widow of U.S. Olympic legend Jesse Owens.

Ten years ago: President George W. Bush replaced longtime chief of staff Andy Card with budget director Joshua Bolten. More than a million people poured into streets across France while strikers disrupted air, rail and bus travel in the largest nationwide protest over a youth labor law. The Kadima (kuh-DEE’-muh) Party won Israel’s parliamentary elections. Former Defense Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger died in Bangor, Maine, at age 88.

Five years ago: Vigorously defending American attacks in Libya, President Barack Obama declared in a nationally broadcast address that the United States intervened to prevent a slaughter of civilians; yet he ruled out targeting Moammar Gadhafi, warning that trying to oust him militarily would be a mistake as costly as the war in Iraq.

One year ago: Afghanistan’s highest court ruled that the police officer convicted of murdering Associated Press photographer Anja Niedringhaus (AHN’-yuh NEE’-dring-hows) and wounding AP correspondent Kathy Gannon should serve 20 years in prison. Two Russians and an American floated into the International Space Station, eight hours after launching from Russia’s space facility in Kazakhstan; Mikhail Kornienko and Scott Kelly spent 342 days aboard the orbiting laboratory, while Russia’s Gennady Padalka stayed for six months.

Lead Story

1979
Nuclear accident at Three Mile Island

At 4 a.m. on March 28, 1979, the worst accident in the history of the U.S. nuclear power industry begins when a pressure valve in the Unit-2 reactor at Three Mile Island fails to close. Cooling water, contaminated with radiation, drained from the open valve into adjoining buildings, and the core began to dangerously overheat.

The Three Mile Island nuclear power plant was built in 1974 on a sandbar on Pennsylvania’s Susquehanna River, just 10 miles downstream from the state capitol in Harrisburg. In 1978, a second state-of-the-art reactor began operating on Three Mile Island, which was lauded for generating affordable and reliable energy in a time of energy crises.

After the cooling water began to drain out of the broken pressure valve on the morning of March 28, 1979, emergency cooling pumps automatically went into operation. Left alone, these safety devices would have prevented the development of a larger crisis. However, human operators in the control room misread confusing and contradictory readings and shut off the emergency water system. The reactor was also shut down, but residual heat from the fission process was still being released. By early morning, the core had heated to over 4,000 degrees, just 1,000 degrees short of meltdown. In the meltdown scenario, the core melts, and deadly radiation drifts across the countryside, fatally sickening a potentially great number of people.

As the plant operators struggled to understand what had happened, the contaminated water was releasing radioactive gases throughout the plant. The radiation levels, though not immediately life-threatening, were dangerous, and the core cooked further as the contaminated water was contained and precautions were taken to protect the operators. Shortly after 8 a.m., word of the accident leaked to the outside world. The plant’s parent company, Metropolitan Edison, downplayed the crisis and claimed that no radiation had been detected off plant grounds, but the same day inspectors detected slightly increased levels of radiation nearby as a result of the contaminated water leak. Pennsylvania Governor Dick Thornburgh considered calling an evacuation.

Finally, at about 8 p.m., plant operators realized they needed to get water moving through the core again and restarted the pumps. The temperature began to drop, and pressure in the reactor was reduced. The reactor had come within less than an hour of a complete meltdown. More than half the core was destroyed or molten, but it had not broken its protective shell, and no radiation was escaping. The crisis was apparently over.

Two days later, however, on March 30, a bubble of highly flammable hydrogen gas was discovered within the reactor building. The bubble of gas was created two days before when exposed core materials reacted with super-heated steam. On March 28, some of this gas had exploded, releasing a small amount of radiation into the atmosphere. At that time, plant operators had not registered the explosion, which sounded like a ventilation door closing. After the radiation leak was discovered on March 30, residents were advised to stay indoors. Experts were uncertain if the hydrogen bubble would create further meltdown or possibly a giant explosion, and as a precaution Governor Thornburgh advised “pregnant women and pre-school age children to leave the area within a five-mile radius of the Three Mile Island facility until further notice.” This led to the panic the governor had hoped to avoid; within days, more than 100,000 people had fled surrounding towns.

Looks like they'll be phasing it in between now and 2022.
And like you could afford to live like a human being out there even for $15 an hour!

Morning, all. Hope everyone had a great holiday. Replaced the brakes on one of my cars on Saturday, and I'm still paying for it today. Legs are killing me from all the squatting, crouching, etc, involved. Sheesh!
Yea, TWSS.....
I tried my best to avoid this exact post, but what can you do? Morning, Dave. Where are you this week?
Heading out to San Diego this evening after a great weekend with family.
Might as well get yourself a condo out there or something, at this rate.
White Whale Inn West.  Just think how much fun you and Wacky will have stocking the west coast humi and beer cooler together.  Watch out for those CA community property laws, though.
We're just friends....no commitment or sharing phone plans.

Hey Tony, thank you.  I did see your first post, understanding that you were referring to one of the last posts of yesterday/Easter Sunday.
I hope you tell your friend, that this is an extremely unusual event ... other than the parts of the city that are crime-ridden like every other big city has,
one just takes the normal precautions that one would take in visiting any tourist areas of any place in the world or U.S.
There is a press conference by Capitol Police at 4:30pm.  Local news channels say there was supposed to be a drill up there this morning, so there's
still confusion over whether this was part of the drill or totally unconnected.

The cherry blossoms peaked over the weekend, early this year, so, if they haven't been blown away by
today and tomorrow's forecasted heavy winds, it should be a treat to come down for a visit & tours.
I went down midday on Thursday, and got within sight of the Tidal Basin where the largest concentration of cherry trees are,
I was on 17th St. with the Washington Monument (and grounds) on my left and the WWII Memorial on my right ... it was kind
of exciting with all the crowds there, and the blossoms in full bloom, but the traffic going around the Tidal Basin was so heavy
I decided that I had seen enough, and drank in the atmosphere fully, that I could go right (on the way back to Virginia) instead
of left into the heavy traffic inching its way around.  The best time to go is at night or early in the morning, to find a parking spot close enough to walk under the blossoming trees around the Tidal Basin, unless someone can
drop the group off, or they go by Metro train to the area.  It's certainly something to be enjoyed when possible.

The logic of fear.

It was fine to go there yesterday, today there's a shooting, so there might be another one on Thursday.

A bad guy shoots at someone, so we'll pile on some more laws, because that has worked so well on everything else we've tried to legislate out of existence.

Absotutely. It wasn't bad. It had some spice, leather and charcoaly notes (not the profile I look for) but it just wasn't worth the price for me.
