Mass evacuation plan for London
Edited on Fri May-14-04 08:20 AM by emad aisat sana
Snip from BBC News

Mass evacuation plans for London are being developed in case the capital is hit by a terror attack, the government has confirmed.
The effort involves the Metropolitan Police, emergency services, transport operators.

Minister Nick Raynsford said there was no need for alarm but "sensible precautions" had to be taken so any area of London could be evacuated.

A spokesman added there was no intelligence an attack was "likely".

When I saw this headline I thought it must be because Poppy is coming for a visit on Tuesday next week to raise ex-pat dosh for Dumbo...

3. Yeah, this is really good.
The evacuation would probably kill more people than the attack itself!

4. You're right.. Thats why the alert. Poppy is as much a liability as *
I'm sure the Brits are thrilled to spend 100s of 1000s of $$ on security detail. They should send him a bill.
