London Schedule’s Largest Ever Major Incident ‘Drills’ This Week
London is conducting a series of ‘major incident’ drills this week – the largest of its kind ever conducted in Europe – putting the emergency services to the test in a number of disaster training exercises. On Monday seven Tube carriages were buried under thousands of tons of rubble that poured into Waterloo station following a mock collapse of a tower block on the station. Emergency services had to deal with the hundreds of ‘dead’ bodies scattered throughout the ‘disaster zone’ in day one of upcoming emergencies scheduled for this week.
