It Was Only A Joke
Chaz Greber was an engineering student at Duke who became involved in subversive
politics. When he called in a bomb threat to the power plant during a heat wave, his
description of the location and probable effect of the supposed explosives alarmed
authorities enough they had to shut the plant down while bomb squads went in to check
the premises.

Over the next two days, as Durham sweltered without air conditioning or refrigeration, eight
Americans died, including five senior citizens and one infant. Hundreds more suffered
from heat prostration and food poisoning because Chaz thought it would be funny to play a
prank on the authorities.

Chaz Greber was executed by lethal injection early this year.
