Truth to Power

Here we go again…

Does any of this sound familar? I guess if you have a plan that worked as well as 9/11, you stick with it:

CRISIS PLANNING

When there is an emergency like the London bombings, the public instinctively turns to professionals for help. We speak to two experts who are in Toronto today for the World Conference on Disaster Management. Adrian Gordon is the Executive Director of the Canadian Centre for Emergency Preparedness, and Peter Power is Managing Director of a London-based consulting firm that specializes in crisis management, Visor Consultants – which on the morning of July 7 was co-incidentally running a security exercise for a private firm, simulating multiple bomb explosions in the London Underground, at the same stations that were subsequently attacked in real life.

If this turns out to be true, then it will ring awfully familar to those of us who have long wondered about the “coincidence” of having war games going on at the same time as the 9/11 attacks.
