tomorrow lets watch the news and newspaper forum. We will see people complaining [b]why they wasnt told of the date, time and place of the excercise... like as if any terrorist will give their would-be victims previews?[/b]
the civilians are mostly recruits in bmt i think.Originally posted by 105090:whoa.. Toa Payoh quite happening.. got double attacks! but it seems the people injured are mostly volunteers of unknown identity, as well as various agencies.. no other civilian like you and me was involved directly, except on disruption of service parts.
Yes, they have.Originally posted by SBS1985C:I think They use SCDF volunteers.
The bus mock up is not realistic, it is not onboard a on service DD...Originally posted by sinicker:the civilians are mostly recruits in bmt i think.

In an real attack, these 55 buses wun be available, maybe the most is to get current buses to pick up passengers away from the station...Originally posted by phillipC:read from wan bao, that 55 consists of 30 buses from SMRT and 25 From SBST.

What he means is that an empty bus was "attacked", not one jam-packed with commuters.Originally posted by ditzy:You think terrorists bother with what model buses they're blowing up?![]()

Very Good Extract!!!Originally posted by phillipC:Extract from CNA.
During last Sunday's mock terror attacks on MRT stations, transport companies provided shuttle services to ferry passengers affected by the disruption.
But transport operators say that in a real emergency, the buses may not be deployed so quickly, if at all.
SBS Transit, which runs the North East MRT Line, says a single bomb blast will warrant the shutdown of the entire train network.
SBS Transit's rail operations director, Alex Goei, said: "What has been agreed with the authorities is that we would close down the system and this is to prevent any further attacks and further injuries and deaths to commuters. Following which we would do a security sweep of all the stations. We'd talk to relevant agencies for advice with regards to whether it is safe to re-open train service."
The same goes for the bus network if the explosion is on a bus.
Choy Kin Chong, SMRT Corporation's deputy director for security and emergency planning, said: "In a real situation, I think the passengers cannot expect us to provide bus services for everyone of them because we have to deal with the security situation for at least the first couple hours or so and then we can decide whether we want to resume train service as well as to provide bus services to bridge any of the gap that is affected."
As for the simulated chemical attack at Dhoby Ghaut MRT station, the civil defence says the way it responds to an actual attack would remain the same with one exception.
SCDF's operations director, LTC Eric Yap, said: "In a real situation, if the station had been attacked by a chemical agent, what we would have done is we would have a much wider cordon spanning about 100 metres from the station, just to ensure that the responding forces are clear from any possibility of toxic escaping from the station thereby affecting our responders."
While the SCDF appreciates feedback given so far, it urges the public to bear in mind that the exercise is after all, not the real deal. - CNA/ir
