As a journalist in my bygone days, I covered the Three Mile Island nuclear accident non-stop for 10 days for UPI. I even went into the control room with President Carter wearing my plastic slippers, and believe, me there was no way that these yo-yos could have taken out TMI and caused a major radiation leak.
My personal believable theory is that the pax attacked the cabin, or that some kind of major disturbance was made, that the so-called rogue pilot didn't know what to do, or if it was the real pilot flying the aircraft, he flew it into the ground, maybe after someone set off explosives in the plane. Theory of the four-mile gap.
Sorry, no Three Mile Island theory on my part.
