Quote: CHICAGO, June 19 (Xinhua) -- A freight train derailed Friday night in the U.S. state of Illinois, causing a large fire and evacuations, local media reported. Boone -- sweet catch. I'm gonna call & see if the National Guard or FEMA or DHS was involved in the response to the midwest derailment you cited..... why do "drills" and 'real-life" events coincide? for newbies: on 9/11/01, there were approximately 15 drills being 'practiced'... including planes off course, planes hijacked, malfunction of NORAD radar, and more. On 7/7/05 in LONDON, 4 bombs went off in the same locations at the same time that a private company was running a "drill" preparing for that same scenario... the highest fidelity 'training exercise' is the real thing. This endeth the lesson JackD out
