Beaver County Times Allegheny Times - Koppel business part of planned terrorism drill

Beaver County Times Allegheny Times - Koppel business part of planned terrorism drill:
"KOPPEL - The scenario: Terrorists attack the IPSCO Koppel Tubular facility causing a plume of sulfuric acid gas to rise above the plant and the Beaver River threatening Koppel and all areas within a half mile radius.

The plan: Steel Hammer, an emergency disaster drill hosted by Beaver County and supported by the federal Department of Homeland Security. Steel Hammer is a region-wide exercise designed to prepare the 13 counties of southwestern Pennsylvania for emergency disaster relief. Full-scale exercises throughout the regions will take place Sept. 14 though 16."

Right. Gotcha. We'll remember.
