The day before the event starts isn't the time to be running exercises, though. If they needed to practice such a scenario, it would have been done weeks or months ago.

Whatever this is (if it's anything,) I don't think it's a drill.

"From WHAT airplane?"

Just speculation, but if the story is true, it may have been a special operations HALO (high altitude low opening) insertion from a C-17 (military transport jet).

Thanks for coming over here. If I recall correctly, you had scanner instant info during last years CA forest fires. Gave updated info before the media. Do I have it right?

How'd they keep their joints lit during the freefall, though?

High on roofies.. they are said to last a long time, say all the the democrat party serial rapist politicians (New York State residents know what I am talking about).

Parachustists land on Boston Federal Building

Strangely similar to the plot of this movie, which involved criminals parachuting onto the roof of a federal building in Washington DC:

It was Santa Clause delivering a copy of the Terrreza "SHOVE IT" tape to Al Jazeera at the convenstion so they can doctor it up.

Either Drudge is updating or he has taken the story off his site.

I don't think a drill either - not with risky currents and the off chance posted guards might fire.
