US Blackout Drill Coming This Week To Prepare For EMP Attack That Could Kill 300 Million
A massive emergency drill preparing for a “very bad day” that could
kill 90% of all US citizens is due to run this week. The White House is
preparing for the threat of disastrous blackouts across the US.
Department of Defence (DoD) officials are readying the “communications
interoperability” drill from November 4 to 6 across more than 3,000 US
counties. Military commanders will practice for a situation when the whole nation is plunged into chaos by a mass failure of the
power grid. Officially the drill is a response to threat from solar
storms – and had been dubbed a “very bad day” scenario. But the exercise
comes amid growing tensions North Korea could launch an attack on the
US with an EMP. Experts have warned such an attack could kill up to 90%
of Americans, around 300 million, within a year – shutting down the
power grid “indefinitely”. FULL REPORT
