Did it happen? Could it happen?

You will have to decide for yourself as to whether or not it did happen. As for whether or not it could happen… Terrifyingly the answer is yes! With terrorism on the increase world-wide steps must be taken now to increase security at nuclear power stations and preserve the world from such a threat. Two books were written about the Titanic Disaster prior to the event, let us all hope history hasn’t already or is about to repeat itself.
