Emergency Agencies Prep For Nuke Explosion In Times Square
The city’s Office of Emergency Management ran a training exercise
Wednesday that simulated a response to a 10-kiloton nuclear device
exploding at 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue in Times Square, WCBS 880’s
Rich Lamb reported. According to the exercise, 100,000 people were
instantly killed; a wave of overpressure took down buildings for a
half-mile radius and did damage for up to two miles; and a radiation
cloud swept over the region. The drill’s scenario also included a
shutdown of subway service and interruptions to cellphone service. The
city agency practiced rehearsing communications with the federal
government and local law enforcement agencies in the Tri-State area
How To Survive Nuclear Armageddon
This guide is for families preparing for imminent terrorist or strategic
nuclear attacks with expected severe destruction, widespread
radioactive fallout downwind, and extensive disruptions of services. You
can expect localized and downwind contamination from the explosion and
dispersed radioactive materials. If you are near enough to see or hear
any local bomb blast, assume that it includes radiological or chemical
agents. You should move away from the blast area as quickly as possible.
If the wind is blowing toward you from the direction of the blast,
travel in a direction that is crosswise or perpendicular to the wind as
you move away from the blast area. If possible cover your face with a
dust mask or cloth to avoid inhaling potentially radioactive dust. Upon
reaching a safe location, remove your outer clothing outside and shower
as soon as possible. Refer to local news sources for additional
instructions about sheltering or evacuation. The
government is better prepared to direct and assist the public in a
'dirty bomb' incident, unlike an actual nuclear weapon attack...
Terror Attack In Canada Called Sign Of “Something Bigger”
The Ottawa shooter has been identified as Michael Zehef-Bibeau,
reportedly a Canadian of Algerian descent whose passport had recently
been seized when he was designated a "high risk traveler." He was shot
down by sergeant-at-arms Kevin Vickers while mounting an attack inside
the Canadian Parliament building. Zehef-Bibeau killed Cpl. Nathan
Cirillo, shot down near the War Memorial in Ottawa. Zehef-Bibeau's
motives have not been confirmed, but it is reasonable to assume they are
connected to the war against the Islamic State. On October 7, the
Canadian government authorized a six month commitment to the U.S.-led
air offensive against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. This move
prompted a Canadian-born Muslim convert fighting with Islamic State
forces to urge attacks on Canada since it is "permissible to retaliate
in a like manner."
