1. Weren't they doing similar tests on 9/11?
On the draft thread people were talking about some sort of terrorism event so that * & Co could find a way to get support for implementing the draft. Is this the day that we'll have another LIHOP or MIHOP? Is this why congress passed the Doomsday bill...because that airport is just 40 minutes from D.C. after all. :scared:

4. Would it be a good idea for DU or some website to maintain a list all the
activities related to anything to do with April 23?

8. Here's a contribution...
Brookston, Indiana (White County) will be having a "Tornado Preparedness Drill" on April 23, too. Indiana SEMA...Uh, I mean the "Indiana Department of Homeland Security", White County EMA and several other groups will be holding a drill on that date.

The scenario is a Tornado levelling Frontier High School.

Now I'm curious about how many other locales will be drilling on 4-23...

12. Check out what else has happened on April 23rd.
wow, I was wondering if other things were being done on april 23rd. The wikipedia was almost the first thing up. Take a look at all the other things that have happened on this day. Do you think there could be a connection? If we make a fuss and stop it from happening, we will never know if we were right or not eh? Seems like it could be a message to mm for his birthday. wow. my tin foil hat is crinkling again.
