This Is Only a Drill – Again – Only a Drill

Mom D and I volunteered to be media at the Long Beach Airport’s Emergency Response Drill

The Scenario: it is 500 PM on a Friday afternoon when Southern California is hit with a 6.4 magnitude earthquake centered 2 miles north of Long Beach Airport. One jet caught on fire and another just a injures. Of course there was a few other items.
