Two Choppers Nearly Shot Down Over Nuclear Power Plant
Another case of approaching a restricted site without proper advance warning:
New York Television news is reporting that two New Jersey State Police helicopters were almost shot down today over a south Jersey Nuclear Power plant.
The two helicopters approached low, at points less than 60 feet from the ground, as part of a Homeland Security drill by the NJ State Police. Security teams at the power plant armed their weapons and were awaiting orders to fire when a visual identification prevented a potential tragedy.
On the plus side, I guess the security teams were just about ready to shoot the helos down.
That's a good thing, right?
