video: fbi & san fran cops run terror drill at bart station
from kgo: BART commuters did a double take when they arrived at the Millbrae station Wednesday. SWAT teams armed with automatic rifles and other assault equipment were bustling around a closed platform in view of the passengers as they got on and off another platform. SWAT teams from the FBI, San Francisco and BART police ran through different emergency scenarios - passengers being taken hostage, an armed assailant, explosives on a train. "Roughly every four months, we do what we call 'tubular training;' it's vehicles like planes, trains buses," FBI spokesperson Tom Ravenelle said. Wednesday's exercise on the trains was timely; Najibullah Zazi, the Afghan native with ties to al-Qaida, just pleaded guilty to federal charges that he and others made explosives to blow up trains on the New York subway system.
