Drills were being exercised on 07/07/2005 (by crisis management team Visor Consultants) based on the exact same scenario which we saw in the London underground bombings, in the exact same place and at the exact same time.

OUR COMMENTARY:  Since this story was first picked up by the growing movement of concerned citizens into governmental foulness (there's a phrase!), there has been little media coverage of this 'coincidence', nor any notion that there may be anything more than a coincidence behind this matter confronted.

When confronted directly, a Mr Peter Power (the same gentleman who appeared on British television making a point of the 'coincidence') responds only with an abrupt 'standard' e-mail.

As an example, here is our e-mail to Visor Con.: -

Dear Sirs,

I have recently been researching the background to the London underground bombing of 07th June 2005 and it seems that your company has made a statement (both on the radio and television) of how you were coincidentally running drills in which the same terrorist scenario was played out that we saw on in those attacks, at the same time and in the same place.

Please could you direct me to any written statement that you may have given 'on the record', as I am only able to find the video clip in which a Mr Power laid out some brief details of the coincidence.

Please understand that I am not pursuing any form of investigation into your good selves having any involvement or prior knowledge into the incident, however as this was a serious event which occurred and as a concerned citizen, I would like to feel that I haven't 'left any stones un-turned'.

Many thanks,

I look forward to your response,

Mr J.R.Skelton

Their response: -

Thank you for your message. Given the volume of emails about events on 7 July and a commonly expressed misguided belief that our exercise revealed prescient behaviour, or was somehow a conspiracy (noting that several websites interpreted our work that day in an inaccurate / naive / ignorant / hostile manner) it has been decided to issue a single email response as follows: It is confirmed that a short number of 'walk through' scenarios planed well in advance had commenced that morning for a private company in London (as part of a wider project that remains confidential) and that two scenarios related directly to terrorist bombs at the same time as the ones that actually detonated with such tragic results. One scenario in particular, was very similar to real time events.

However, anyone with knowledge about such ongoing threats to our capital city will be aware that (a) the emergency services have already practiced several of their own exercises based on bombs in the underground system (also reported by the main news channels) and (b) a few months ago the BBC broadcast a similar documentary on the same theme, although with much worse consequences. It is hardly surprising therefore, that we chose a feasible scenario - but the timing and script was nonetheless, a little disconcerting.

In short, our exercise (which involved just a few people as crisis managers actually responding to a simulated series of activities involving, on paper, 1000 staff) quickly became the real thing and the players that morning responded very well indeed to the sudden reality of events.

Beyond this no further comment will be made and based on the extraordinary number of messages from ill informed people, no replies will henceforth be given to anyone unable to demonstrate a bona fide reason for asking (e.g. accredited journalist / academic).

It is a pity that Mr. Power has been 'put off' taking the implications of this matter seriously enough to question it.  To be honest, I can understand the frustration of the man, being that he has been put in an awkward position, (by parties yet un-confirmed) and is the initial person that everyone worldwide is contacting in the first instance.  Not to mention that there are a great deal of 'enquiring minds', who perhaps aren't as professional as they should be when making their enquiries.  This seems to have been a factor which has alienated Mr. Power from taking the notion of prior knowledge indicated by this matter seriously.

If anyone else wants to e-mail an enquiry to Visor Consultants, I am sure that you will also get the same 'standard letter' as we did which downplays the situation.  However it will show the company that there is an inquisitive level of concern out there (in you, the reader) that questions government and the 'security' companies that it hires as un-knowing third parties to cover up its dirty deeds.

That's right 'un-knowing third parties'.  We ARE NOT accusing Peter Power or anyone at Visor Consultants of being involved in the actual bombings.  We ask that if you do contact the firm, you be polite and professional, otherwise, you do more harm than good to the investigation.
