The exercise run by the joint Canadian and American command, which defends North American from missile and air attacks, was hampered by "weather issues" and will be redone next week, Canadian Forces Maj. Darren Steele said.
Hundreds of people, including controllers, fighter pilots, an E-3 Airborne Early Warning and Control System aircraft, several civilian aircraft and air refueling tankers took part in the exercise. Wednesday's exercise will be of the same scale.
Side note: on September 11th, there were tests in play that morning that had hijacked planes headed for important targets. A test was run on September 10th that had a plane striking the Pentagon. July 7th of last year when London was bombed, there was a 1,000 person test running that was simulating bombings on the VERY SAME spots that the bombs went off. The guy running the test went on BBC saying how shocked he was because the simulation was exactly what happened.
I'm just sayin.
Not that anything is going down, its just an interesting thing to note.
