I Saw This Movie On March 28, 1979


Was a senior in High School in Harrisburg,PA. It was around Noon when they called an emergency teachers meeting and let everyone go home. I stopped by my house and scooped up some money and went to the theater to see this movie.

It wasn't until I got home that I had found out what had actually happened at Three Mile Island.

Talk about mind blown.

They sure got the timing right this time!

I saw this movie the weekend before Three Mile accident occurred. It was kind of eerie.

Holy f@ck! Cool story.




I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

Cool story.

I have a related one.

Very soon after Three Mile Island (and your movie viewing) we were driving on Rte 81 South from Binghamton to Roanoke Va. When we drove by Harrisburg I recall saying to my dad "Wouldn't they be surprised if the trees around here don't sprout any leaves this year."
