    The drill will simulate a response to an explosion at a PATH commuter rail train in the tunnel between the World Trade Center site and northern New Jersey

    More than 800 emergency responders will participate from the city police and fire departments and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

    The Port Authority says the street on the north side of ground zero will be closed to emergency vehicles.

    PATH rail service will be suspended between 6 a.m. and 11:30 a.m.

    There will be no sound of an explosion, but emergency vehicles will respond with flashing lights and sirens, officials said.

    Hatzolah is not. At the moment Hatzolah does not have the training or gear to fully participate in a incident of that magnitude. Eventually Hatzolah will once again participate with the city drills, once they are again up to speed.

    To everyone sitting here and complaining, did you ever stop to think that –

    1) They may not be exercising an EMS response
    2) They are not focusing on non-governmental orginizations
