Three Mile Island Nuke guard playing video game fails to see inspector

PHILADELPHIA — A security guard at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant was so absorbed in playing a hand-held video game that he failed to see an inspector approach during a surprise inspection, the agency said.

"The issue is not the guard's use of the video game," Kathleen McGinty, secretary of the environmental agency, said in a statement.

"The real issue is that his complete absorption in the game distracted him from noticing the repeated approach of our inspector. And that shows why this procedure needs to be changed and these video games disallowed," she said.


Hmmm. Perhaps it is justified, depending on the game that has been playing in the critical moment?. Who can say now that we have no more killer applications?
Perhaps guard just played unresistible arcade game Nuke from The Simpsons ?
Please note that Three Mile Island, located about 10 miles southeast of Harrisburg, was the site of the nation's worst nuclear accident when a partial meltdown occurred in 1979. During Carter administration.

Anyway, Go Bush. Ban all games. They are, as was shown, extremely dangerous.
