And I'm glad I didn't hear about it, as the mostly silence compared to the earlier years has been a blessing. Though almost all of us have been touched by all those past attacks. The yahrzeit (anniversary of the death) of a good friend of my daughter's comes up soon and my heart breaks for her mother and family - as for many families here in Israel.<br /><br />KlaraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-56153956784230251872009-09-07T22:32:12.255+03:002009-09-07T22:32:12.255+03:00Dina - You're like the 5 o'clock live eye ...Dina - You're like the 5 o'clock live eye witness news reporter!

You certainly came by on the right day! Yes, I have great admiration for the medical people. I even worked in a big university hospital for 4 years myself, doctoring words and not people. I am enjoying the enthusiasm in your blog, but I click and click and cannot get a comment box to come up. Is there a problem, or do you have it limited or something? <br />See you again.

As a medical student, the first thing that came to my mind as you wrote about the paramedics coming in was, wow the emergency teams are getting some brilliant training. And immediately, I prayed that you wouldn't have to ever put this drill to use.<br /><br /><a href="http://tanzaniancane.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">My safari through medicine...</a>tanzaniancanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07329600064465537541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-29440718306910929552009-09-07T16:21:25.688+03:002009-09-07T16:21:25.688+03:00This comment has been removed by the author.tanzaniancanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07329600064465537541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-2135624718702072632009-09-07T16:17:30.175+03:002009-09-07T16:17:30.175+03:00Thank you for sharing this!

I think the police did not let the big TV cameras in just because they would have been in the way and because no civilians were allowed beyond the barriers.<br />The news tonight said 400 emergency personnel took part in the drill. <br /><br />DaveM, hi and welcome. Yes, the news said 5 different fatal explosions happened in the market in the not so distant past. <br /><br />Hyde DP, so true.<br /><br />Jew Wishes, yes, it's a good slice of life story for Jerusalem.<br /><br />FA, I heard a brief mention of it on the radio on Friday. This morning I took the bus in as far as possible (before they closed the road) and got into the market before they stopped letting people in. I needed to get educated about these things and wanted to share the experience with my readers. <br />Oh that's right, you are about to have yet another September 11th anniversary. May you know no more such tragedies. <br />From time to time we have such drills at various places in the city and in Israel, each with a different scenario.Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461925401870320466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014444390969839620.post-51800472781080171552009-09-06T23:41:12.446+03:002009-09-06T23:41:12.446+03:00Dina, wow!

And what a great reminder to be prepared for any kind of disaster. <br /><br />Are these planned and advertised? Did you just happen by? We should probably have these in the U.S., too.
