False Flag? Mass Casualty Drill was Taking Place in the Same Area as the Washington State Amtrak Train Derailment

False Flag? Mass Casualty Drill was Taking Place in the Same Area as the Washington State Amtrak Train Derailment | amtrak-derailed | False Flags Multimedia Sleuth Journal US News

In yet another striking example of a pre-planned training drill being conducted at the exact same time as a real disaster or terror attack, DuPont Mayor Mike Courts has confirmed that a “mass casualty” drill was underway near the area of the horrific Amtrak train derailment that killed at least 3 people and left roughly 100 more injured.


That’s right, multiple agencies, as well as at least three mass casualty emergency vehicles, were already in the area “training” for a disaster when a real one apparently hit which has obviously raised a plethora of questions, especially when you consider past terrorists strikes that also had training drills seemingly go live.


As Infowars noted, “While the details of the train derailment in Olympia, Washington continue to come out, one particular fact is raising questions. There was a mass casualty event drill being staged at the exact time and place of the accident.”


The shocking revelation that authorities were “prepared” for the train derailment was initially revealed by a local ABC News reporter who directly confirmed that the mayor himself was in the area before the “accident” even happened.


“The mayor tells me, ironically today they were doing training for a mass casualty incident and that he was here, along with many other agencies, planning their day when this situation happened,” the reporter said.



The ABC report then went on to once again confirm that city officials were indeed carrying out a training drill at the exact time and place of the Amtrak train derailment.


“The good news is the DuPont mayor has said that city hall was going through a first responder mass casualty training situation when this happened so they were ready to go when they got the call,” the news anchor noted after detailing how quick emergency responders were able to reach the accident.


While this could obviously be a coincidence, one has to wonder whether or not this was actually some sort of false flag carried out by deep state operatives with a so far unknown goal. Keep in mind that this does not mean that the accident didn’t happen, rather it means that we are not being told the truth as to how and why the derailment happened in the first place.


As Shepard Ambellas wrote, “Just like 9/11 and the London bombing of 2007, the training drill somehow went live creating the exact scenario officials were enacting at the time.”

Confirmed: Numerous Agencies Held ‘Mass Casualty Incident’ Drills on Same Day as Amtrak Derailment

Training for the same scenario on the same day it happens —similar to 9/11, the London subway bombings and Paris theater mass terror attacks.

A day after a power failure at Atlanta"s Hartsfield Jackson Airport - the busiest terminal in the world - left thousands of passengers stranded with flights only just beginning to resume, America"s crumbling infrastructure was on display yet again on Monday, but this time, the failure looks much more severe.


To wit, Amtrak train 501 derailed in Pierce County, about 40 miles south of Seattle, according to media reports and images showing the train tumbling off the tracks and on to the freeway below. The derailment happened at around 8 am local time - or 11 am Eastern.


 




Images of the mangled wreckage flooded social media...



Interstate 5 is completely closed in both directions and dozens of first responders are heading to the scene, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), as the Seattle Times pointed out.
 



 


Here"s a livefeed of the scene, courtesy of CBS...



The accident caused “massive damage” and “people are hurt,” according to Chris Karnes, the chairman of Pierce Transit’s advisory board. Police said information about injuries would be forthcoming.


 



 


Amtrak said in a tweet that it"s "aware of the incident" and will update with additional details...


 



 


“We don’t have any information at the moment, we’re gathering it,” said Keith Holloway, a spokesman for the National Transportation Safety Board.


"I was just shocked," said Peter Zimmerman of Olympia. "I couldn"t believe it. It was like something out of a movie." According to the local TV station, the train was traveling along a new high speed route from Seattle to Portland that had just opened Monday.



According to WSDOT, the train was running down a new bypass created to avoid slow curves and “single track tunnels on the BNSF Railway main line tracks near Point Defiance and along southern Puget Sound."


The project rerouted passenger trains to an inland route on an existing rail line that runs along the west side of I-5 through south Tacoma, Lakewood and DuPont and then  reconnects back to the BNSF Railway main line near Nisqually on the east side of I-5.


The traffic back up is now three miles and growing.
