Contingency planning Pentagon MASCAL exercise simulates scenarios in preparing for emergencies

Story and Photos by Dennis Ryan

MDW News Service

Washington, D.C., Nov. 3, 2000 -- The fire and smoke from the downed passenger aircraft billows from the Pentagon courtyard. Defense Protective Services Police seal the crash sight. Army medics, nurses and doctors scramble to organize aid. An Arlington Fire Department chief dispatches his equipment to the affected areas.

Don Abbott, of Command Emergency Response Training, walks over to the Pentagon and extinguishes the flames. The Pentagon was a model and the "plane crash" was a simulated one.

The Pentagon Mass Casualty Exercise, as the crash was called, was just one of several scenarios that emergency response teams were exposed to Oct. 24-26 in the Office of the Secretaries of Defense conference room.

Subj: NEW: Bush State Department Omitted bin Laden in 2001

"The State Department officially released its annual terrorism report just a little more than an hour ago, but unlike last year, there's no extensive mention of alleged terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden. A senior State Department official tells CNN the U.S. government made a mistake in focusing so much energy on bin Laden and 'personalizing terrorism.'"

1. MIHOP
It was obvious to me as I watched it happen on TV.

Sheeple just can't handle the truth, hence the denial about what really happened (and is still happening).

4. This reinforces the fact that planes as weapons were well researched.
Condi saying no one could imagine planes as weapons is outed even more as prevarication.

5. Problem for THIS White House, not the Clinton folks.
Edited on Sat Apr-03-04 03:31 PM by calimary
What this shows is that, evidently, SOMEBODY could imagine that terrorists might fly planes into buildings... And sufficiently BEFORE September 11th to have given the folks in charge plenty of anticipation time. RIGHT, CONTRADICTA?
