NYPD + FEDS To Conduct Airborne Weapons Test On NYC Subway System Posted by James Φοίνιξ on April 24, 2013 at 2:48pm.NYPD teams with US lab to study airborne weapons
NEW YORK
The New York Police Department is teaming up with a national laboratory to study how chemical weapons could be dispersed through the air into the subway system. Researchers will track the movement of harmless tracer gases. They'll place air sampling devices in specific areas on the street and within the subway system. The gases mimic how a chemical or biological weapon may react if released. Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said the study will help safeguard the city against attacks. "The NYPD works for the best but plans for the worst when it comes to potentially catastrophic attacks such as ones employing radiological contaminants or weaponized anthrax," said Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly, adding that, "This field study with Brookhaven's outstanding expertise will help prepare and safeguard the city's population in the event of an actual attack." The project with the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory was announced Wednesday. It will be funded through a $3.4 million federal grant. It is the first of its scale to study airflow in a dense, complex urban environment both below and above-ground. Researchers from Argonne National Laboratory and Los Alamos National Laboratory, along with additional meteorologists and engineers, will support Brookhaven's scientists as they track the movement of harmless tracer gases detected by air sampling devices placed in select locations on the street and in the subway system. The subway system is the nation's largest with about 5 million riders per day. "This study will bolster the NYPD's understanding of contaminant dispersion within the subway system as well as between the subway system and the street, thereby improving its ability to better protect both our customers and the city population at large," said MTA Acting Chairman Fernando Ferrer. The tests will be conducted in July in all five boroughs.

I doubt you've ever even been on a subway. I just love when the hillbilly NYC bashers all of a sudden become concerned with the welfare of New Yorkers just because some a$$hole on AM radio told them to.

Sure have been on subways....many many times....and out of need not out of want cause i don't like them.
the point of the post is that every time the government hosts a drill......something catastrophic happen....no?

No.

The drills aren't the issue. The real issue is the failure to provide adequate security at a major public event which any of the hundreds of terrorist groups or thousands of nut jobs out there might try to disrupt. The question that people should be asking (in regards to the Marathon Bombing) is why did they just sweep the finish line grandstand area for explosives a few hours BEFORE the event and not just prior to the finish -- common sense would suggest that any terrorist or nut job would have planned to carry out an attack at the point when the most people would be in that area .. around the time when the top runners crossed the finish line.
There have been too many security "slip ups" during the Obama administration. Maybe some top people (department heads) need to be replaced. Of course, it would also be nice if Obama and the Pelosipalosers actually believed that there was such a thing as terrorism and terrorists rather than trying to be P.C. left-wing nuts.
Finally --slightly off the actual post -- I am sick and tired of people calling the two scumbag bombers "the boys" and trying to paint them as "misunderstood" or anything less than the vicious,evil thugs that they were.

This July the NYPD will be conducting a terror drill where they will apparently release gases into the air on the subway.

In a project that was made possible by a $3.4 million Department of Homeland Security Transit Security grant, the NYPD will be releasing “non toxic gases” to study airflow in case of a chemical or biological terrorist attack.
The project will take place this July, but they are going to tell the public that it is going to happen until one day before the drill.
According to a press release:
The New York City Police Department and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory are scheduled to conduct this July the largest urban airflow study ever to better understand the risks posed by airborne contaminants, including chemical, biological and radiological (CBR) weapons as they are dispersed in the atmosphere and in the City’s subway system. The NYPD will use the data collected during the three days of research to optimize emergency response following an intentional or accidental release of hazardous materials.
“The NYPD works for the best but plans for the worst when it comes to potentially catastrophic attacks such as ones employing radiological contaminants or weaponized anthrax,” said Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly, adding that, “This field study with Brookhaven’s outstanding expertise will help prepare and safeguard the city’s population in the event of an actual attack.”
“If some sort of poison or contaminant were dispersed in the atmosphere of New York City, either accidentally or through a terrorist attack … we’d have an idea how it would travel,” says Paul Browne, deputy commissioner of the NYPD. “That would help guide us as to what our responders should do and what instructions we should give the public—for example, do you shelter in place or do you evacuate—and if so, in which direction.”
Notice his use of the phrase “shelter in place”, this is the unfamiliar term that entered the media dialogue during the martial law shutdown of Boston. They referred to that martial law environment as “shelter in place”, and now it seems that this idea is being commonly pushed within other police departments, as was expected by many in the alternative media.
This may only just be a drill as they are saying it is, but these drills are important to look out for, because all too often when something goes wrong, the government is coincidentally staging a drill nearby.
