A sign announces the closing of the observation center for the Three Mile Island nuclear plant in Pennsylvania, following an accident, March 28, 1979. A pump failed in the reactor cooling system, shutting down the plant and threatening a nuclear meltdown.

"I looked out the window, and it was dark, but you could see from the lights that there was a geyser of steam rising up in the air."
