This Is Only A Drill
Wanna see something really scary? Here’s a video that leaked online last year of a fake news broadcast that was part of the Department of Homeland Security’s TOPOFF 3 terrorist attack drill. The level of detail completely freaks me out.
While my mind is stuck in 9/11 mode, does anyone who was glued to CNN on that evening remember seeing them cut to an empty street scene and hold on it for a few seconds before their reporter popped into frame from the bottom of the screen like a jack-in-the-box? After spending an entire day in crushing despair, that little moment of levity was really cathartic. I wish I had a clip of that to share with everyone.
