The security planning for last week’s Boston Marathon, where two bombs went off killing three people and wounding 264, included preparation for such an emergency, a top Massachusetts public safety official said on Wednesday.
“We spend months planning for the marathon. We did a tabletop exercise the week before that included a bombing scenario in it,” Kurt Schwartz, the state’s undersecretary for homeland security, told a panel at Harvard University.
According to news reports from runners in the race, there was more than just planning. Many runners have reported police telling runners that a bomb drill was underway just shortly before the bombs went off. Yet, we hear next to nothing about this in the MSM.
