This accident happened on Easter Sunday. Here are some links. http://nuclearstreet.com/nuclear_po..._-injures-eight-and-trips-reactor-040202.aspx http://www.examiner.com/article/one-killed-eight-injured-crane-accident-at-arkansas-nuclear-one By now most of these pictures I'm showing you all have made it to the internet. I was in a pre job brief at Brunswick nuclear power plant in North Carolina when we got the news and saw the pictures for the first time.

    After crane failure. The last picture is taken from the overhead crane on the turbine deck

    Hope nobody was on that zoom boom in the last picture.
