March 27th 1979 started out as any other day for the residents of Harrisburg PA. The commonwealth congress was in session and was debating about whether to privatize the commuter service of Philadelphia. The Three Mile Island nuclear power plant was running at normal capacity throughout the whole day, without a single incident, except for a report of a computer malfunctioning for a moment. 2/3's of the Commonwealth's elected officals were in Harrisburg for the next day's vote. The governer was there as well.
