It is planned that a railroad bridge collapses causing the cars to derail. As such, 150 victims will become injured, some serious and some not so serious. No one knows what the response time will be for r tile Chessie System, Hospitals, and Ambulance Companies, but the planning that has already been accomplished will aid, immen- sely if a true accident would happen in the Gorge. The crit- ique learned from this exp- erience shall change the exist- ing disaster plan to one that will remain in effect for a great long time. People are asked to stay away from the area of the drill and are to be fore warned that there will be many ambulances run- ning on this particular day. 4 Trooper C.M.
