London Underground Bombing 'Exercises' Took Place at Same Time as Real Attack

A consultancy agency with government and police connections was running an exercise for an unnamed company that revolved around the London Underground being bombed at the exact same times and locations as happened in real life on the morning of July 7th.

On a BBC Radio 5 interview that aired on the evening of the 7th, the host interviewed Peter Power, Managing Director of Visor Consultants, which bills itself as a 'crisis management' advice company, better known to you and I as a PR firm.

Peter Power was a former Scotland Yard official, working at one time with the Anti Terrorist Branch.

Power told the host that at the exact same time that the London bombings were taking place, his company was running a 1,000 person strong exercise which drilled the London Underground being bombed at the exact same locations, at the exact same times, as happened in real life.

1. I suppose this will get locked due to the source

But, if true, another remarkable coincidence. It may have something to do with the bombing timing going from 8:51, 8:56, 9:17 to 8:50, 8:50, 8:50. One way or another.

2. There were war games going while 9-11 happened

Just endless coincidences

6. Late Breaking News Rules

It has to be no more than 12 hours old, so it will probably get locked or deleted or moved to General Discussion.

Also, you're better off linking to the primary source - BBC Radio 5: http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/programmes/drive.shtml (listen again to Thursday - an hour and 3 minutes in)
