Reservists plan mass-casualty training exercise for 9/11 weekend

I don't know where I stand on who EXACTLY is responsible for 9/11. I am still to this day torn in too many different directions to point at any one source for the disaster. That being said, this really got my attention:

Mass Casualty Exercise on 9/11

So, does anyone here think that this another forewarning, kinda like the exercises being conducted on 9/11/2001 and before the London bombings? Or is this 9/11also gonna pass with a whimper, not a bang?!

FORT WORTH - Earlier this year, the Army Reserve heard the Air Force Reserve was planning a training exercise. They offered a 200-acre army reserve facility in White Settlement as a site for the exercise. Military leaders planned it for the first available weekend in September. Then, they began to take a closer look at the calendar. “A little bit later on we realized, 'Hey, that is the 9/11 weekend,'” said Lt. Colonel Dennis Snelling, of the 90th Aviation Support Battalion. “Then we thought 'Well, what a perfect time to showcase where we've been and how we've progressed over 10 years since the event.'” The training exercise is meant to mimic the effects of an explosion at a building. It includes 300 reservists and national guardsmen and another 300 first responders. This, at a time when Americans have been asked to be on alert for fear of another terrorist attack.

Link me to it, please? I still can't find it....

Honestly,this is nothing. And I think it's more common then we think,it's just being reported more now. And yea I think 9/11 is gonna pass without anything happening. I truly beileve it's gonna happen when we're not expecting it.

I think I agree with you there. 'Expect it when you least expect it' is probably the reigning motto right now....

You guys know there are reservists doing training exercises almost every weekend, right? No reason to get panicky just because one happens to be on 9/11 ... or Samhain, Rosh Hashanah, International Women's Day, etc.

The military is always doing drills

Fire, police, Ems departments also run regular drills - nothing here

Reason do drills is to be ready when the stuff doea hit the fan....
