US was running Haiti earthquake drill day before quake... The Defense Department just happened to be running a drill with a "Haiti earthquake disaster" scenario the day before the quake occured. "On Monday, Jean Demay, DISA's technical manager for the agency's Transnational Information Sharing Cooperation project, happened to be at the headquarters of the U.S. Southern Command in Miami preparing for a test of the system in a scenario that involved providing relief to Haiti in the wake of a hurricane. After the earthquake hit on Tuesday, Demay said SOUTHCOM decided to go live with the system. On Wednesday, DISA opened up its All Partners Access Network, supported by the Transnational Information Sharing Cooperation project, to any organization supporting Haiti relief efforts." Full story at link below: nextgov.com 911, the 7/7 London Subway Bombing, and the Madrid Train attacks, also all occured during "live" drills.
