London's biggest terror drill held in Canary Wharf
Emergency services just ran their biggest ever terror attack drill in London's Canary Wharf, testing how they'd respond to a major incident. Police, firefighters, and paramedics took part in the exercise, codenamed 'Firebird', which simulated a marauding terrorist attack on Sunday. Dozens of actors helped create the realistic scenario, using lessons learned from the Manchester Arena attack.
