Disaster. Mayhem. Panic in the streets.
Chicago could look a lot like a Michael Bay movie-in-action this weekend when massive emergency response exercise takes place in and around the city.
The Illinois National Guard says more than 50 local, state, federal and private agencies will participate in the drill to learn how to respond to disasters. The five-day training exercise will run from Sunday through Thursday, June 17.
Officials with the Illinois National Guard say the event is a "full-scale exercise" and residents can expect to see emergency responders throughout the Chicago area "look and acting" as if it were a real disaster mission.
Officials say the practice events will include a simulated commercial airplane crash, simulated rail car evacuation and simulated terrorist attack.
Terrorist response training? I’m not buying that bilge even if they sell it for a nickle.
You think this is just practice?
Actually, no I do not. I said ‘practice’ because I didn’t want to go whole-hog and commit to a hair-brained looney tinfoil conspiracy theory (that’s a joke, ha ha....) These people have very, very bad plans in store for freedom-loving people....
Five days long? Riiiiiight.
Here’s something novel—why not have the fifty Federal agaenices train for an incursion of about 4,000 people every day across our Southern border from the direction of Mexico?
Or how to lay a few miles of oil boom?
You know, something practical and realistic?

Chicago Mock Disaster Drill: Illinois Army and Air Ntl Guard, 50 local, state, federal and private agencies will practice simulated: meth lab raid; commercial airplane crash; rail car evacuation; building collapses; take downs of suspected terrorists; mass decontamination; terrorist attacks and more in a full-scale exercise acting as if this was a real homeland security/domestic response mission...
Just had one here...the ports of Long Beach and L.A.
How about using them against the street gangs that control the city.
bump for later
Actually, it might take the military to take down all the corrupt Chicago politicians... including Obama and Rahm.
that would be too logical
Most of the politicians in Chicaggy would be toast then.
Tomkow be careful
Just because it is NG and ‘other’ local agencies doesn’t change my original statement.
