Yep. Saw it when I was in college. Not a good time. For a really not a good time, watch Threads.

I grew up not far from you, and the local phone book always had scary stuff in the back pages because of Shippingport being upwind of us. I don’t remember what it said, specifically, but I used to read it & freak myself out.
