    "No one died. And except for the stress of being scared stiff, no one was injured"

    This was the Com Ed response ad to the Three Mile Island accident and the ensuing reactions. It is a mix of antagonistic we-told-you-so responses, attesting to the strength of the equipment, and an unsympathetic tone to those concerned. With a map in center showing the area from Harrisburg to York, centered on Three Mile Island, this was supposed to expose the fallacy of potential meltdowns, ending the text with "What really exploded were myths", but unfortunately the damage was already done.

    Condition is very good. Image size is approximately 10 x 7.5 (inches)
