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.
At this time the New Jersey State Police are saying that the unit planning the operation failed to notify security at the power plant of the drill. A spokesperson for the state police is said tyo have since called the plant and apologized for the incident. An investigation is likely to follow.
