This location apparently has a history (according to Wikipedia, Bruce Willis once worked there as a security guard): [ link to www.nj.com] Also a 2008 Wash Post article about security guards falling asleep at Peach Bottom nuclear plant in south PA (Philly/ Baltimore region): [ link to www.washingtonpost.com] See Wikipedia's Peach Bottom page for more, can't seem to find the video from CBS. If anyone finds this please post. |
