How is he my hero? It could be true that there was a drill going on, heck they said the same thing about the Boston Marathon. That doesn't mean that the real thing couldn't happen simultaneously, regardless of beliefs of coincidence. I understand you're just being an insufferable troll because I happen to spread links from a specific website, but there is a point to this.
If anything, the "drill" mentality seems to be conditioning people to question whether or not something is actually happening. Exactly the moral of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf". Schools have what, 12 fire drills a year minimum? And after how many do people just begin to think, "Oh, it's just a drill, another way to interrupt the day." Heck, I remember the exit procedure in one classroom where I went to school only talked about a fire drill, not mentioning anything about an emergency situation. And it's not limited to the schools, either. We had a regular fire drill at a workplace (either annually or semi-annually; I don't work there anymore), and then when there actually was a problem, people would ask if it was just a drill, and then the management would have to send out "nastygrams" because people didn't take it seriously. What do you expect when you cry wolf? Look, I can understand if you need to make sure that people know how to get to safety, and if the exits are sufficient for the number of people, but it can be taken too far.
