UK: Mock Chemical Attack on Sundayposted by ewing2001 on Sunday September 07, @10:09PM
  from the Guardian dept. 
The day the City stood still... and Britain's defence against terror was put to the testHuge emergency operation for simulated gas attack on the tubeGuardian -Monday September 8, 2003
Government ministers and the emergency services yesterday sealed off the heart of London's financial district for the most elaborate and high profile anti terrorist exercise Britain has ever seen. In scenes reminiscent of a science fiction movie, police, ambulance and fire service personnel, wearing gas masks and chemical suits, took control of the streets overlooking Mansion House and the Bank of England to deal with a simulated chemical attack on the underground network.
In an exercise designed to be as realistic as possible, it was assumed that terrorists had struck at Bank underground station, using a substance similar to the poisonous gas Sarin.
The operation was intended to test how the emergency services work together and the effectiveness of new equipment purchased in the aftermath of September 11. But today politicians and officials from London Resilience begin assessing the immediate repercussions.
Although response times were not being tested, the fact that supposedly stricken passengers were still underground three hours after the exercise began will cause some concern. None of them would have received any medical treatment until they reached ground level.
Emergency crews raced to the scene but did not go underground for around 20 minutes while the chemical threat was assessed, mindful that when terrorists attacked the Tokyo subway, ambulance staff who rushed to the worst affected area were themselves struck down by the gas.
The effect of London of staging such an event in front of the world's media will also be an issue. Earlier this year, when Tony Blair ordered tanks to guard Heathrow, it was claimed the images deterred foreign tourists from visiting the capital and damaged London's economy. But the transport secretary, Alistair Darling, and the London mayor, Ken Livingstone, said the exercise was essential.
