Toronto undergoes simulated attack: ~source (http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2005/09/18/toronto_test_attack_20050918.html)
CBC News
Emergency crews pulled bodies from a Toronto subway station and office tower Sunday morning after a highly coordinated attack.
But it was only a test.
Passersby gawked behind police tape as dozens of officers in protective suits and gas masks carried victims to a decontamination site.
The scenario involved terrorists detonating two bombs in downtown Toronto's financial district.
The first was a radioactive device contaminating a subway car.
The second simulated explosion minutes later was a hydrogen cyanide blast in a stairwell of the Royal Trust tower.
The test included about 250 people and cost close to $30,000. It was designed to test the city's Joint CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear) Response Team.
