That is exactly how it was with the Three Mile Island *accident*.It took days before we really knew the severity of the situation. Keep in mind, cell phones and social media did not exist, and we really only had news media to rely on. The steam was releasing radiation. That was all we knew. We knew nothing about a melt down, as I am recalling, for close to a week. It seemed as if everything was a secret. Far more people were affected than the 100,000 they estimated. Years later....the numbers were still acrueing. One thing I can recall, in hindsight, they said you can't alarm while informing.....
