This article caught my eye because I saw "fire" and "nuclear" and freaked out. The people of New York were very lucky that no real harm was done. Although the outcomes differed greatly, this article could still be compared to the Three Mile Island explosion in the late 70s during President Carter's term because both dealt with nuclear power plants and their effect on the American public.

NY Nuclear Power Plant Scare- by Rachel Devine (6th)

The fire occurred on the side of the of the power plant that did not deal with nuclear power and was put out quickly, so no one was hurt. While officials are saying the situation was minor, that doesn't mean they didn't take it seriously. They were aware that anything dealing with nuclear power could cause immense damage, so they took great caution in dealing with the fire.
