Rushing attacker

To be realistic, synchronism must be defined differently for attackers They may send their own messages last in a round, so that they can already base their decision on the messages sent by others. This is called rushing attackers, see [Beav91, MiRo91]. 

When the incident was revealed more than 3 years later (Suskind, 2006), it was also reported that at the time of the alert city hospitals were wrestling with the issue of how to treat anyone exposed to cyanide and sought to increase their stocks of medical antidotes to cyanide and other toxic substances, preparing for any potential mass triage (Baker Rashbaum, 2006). In other words, when federal and local authorities feared a chemical attack in New York City, the news media did not get wind of it and, as a result. New Yorkers were neither aware of the threat nor of the health community s rush to prepare for the worst. 

This incident was the first chemical terrorist attack in a large city. There were few first responders who could even have conceived of such an attack and would have been prepared to rapidly evacuate victims from the subway station premises. Many passengers who had difficulty walking rushed out of the trains and onto the subway platform and fell down, which in effect would have increased their exposure to sarin in the subway station. In addition, the site to which many of the victims were finally evacuated at ground level where they could lie down was in close proximity to an air exhaust vent from the subway below. 

Many times, I ve seen how stress can have a horrible impact on cardiovascular health, and I m sure you have as well.

We all have, so you have lots of company. 

Sarin was released in commuter trains on three different Tokyo subway lines by the Aum Shinrikyo cult in 1995. Sarin was concealed in lunch boxes and soft-drink containers and placed on subway train floors. It was released as terrorists punctured the containers with umbrellas before leaving the trains. The incident was timed to coincide with rush hour, when trains were packed with commuters. Over 5,500 people were injured in the attack.

On 20 March 1995, a terrorist attack occurred in the Tokyo subway system during rush hour. Sarin was placed in five subway cars on three separate lines in plastic bags opened so that the agent, which is liquid under temperate conditions, could evaporate. Over 5000 casualties sought medical attention of whom 984 were moderately poisoned and 54 were severely poisoned 12 died. However, a substantial number of those...

Psychiatric casualties from combat, especially from chemical weapons, have significant military importance (Augerson 1988 Brooks et al. 1983 Gilstead 1988). Significant numbers of Israeli civilians experienced psychiatric injury during the Gulf War. When Iraq attacked with missiles, civilians had instructions to put on gas masks, enter sealed rooms, and, if exposed to nerve gas, inject themselves with atropine (Carmeli et al. 1994). Of 1,059 total casualties, 230 resulted from false atropine injections, 544 from acute anxiety reactions, 7 from suffocation by improperly used gas masks, and 40 from injuries sustained rushing to sealed rooms (Karsenty et al. 1994). 

Graves was scathing about the efficiency of Foulkes s men in his sector of the front.

Only one or two cylinders were released. Warned of the attack the... 

Koblat beamed a desperate request for help to Pinjarra, the cluster s capital four million kilometres away, where three armed starships were stationed. The asteroid s inadequate internal emergency procedures were activated, sealing and isolating independent sections. Its terrified citizens rushed to designated secure chambers deep in the interior and waited for the attack to begin, dreading the follow on, the infiltration by possessed. 

In July 2005, London was subjected to a series of terrorist attacks Bombs exploded on the public transport network at rush hour. Three bombs were detonated on trains in the London Undergroimd and one was detonated on the upper deck of a bus. It was initially thought that military-grade plastic explosives had been used in the attack on 7 July because it appeared that the explosions had been synchronised. However, it was later determined that the bombs were homemade devices consisting of triacetone triperox-ide (TATP). TATP is a peroxide-based explosive that is highly susceptible to shock, heat, and friction and is one of if not the most sensitive explosives known (Bubnikova et al. 2005). 

As soon as you suspect that you are dealing with a terrorist attack, you should immediately notify dispatch and have them notify all appropriate agencies and local hospitals. Resist the urge to immediately rush into the scene and rescue the victims (Box 2-3). You should immediately withdraw to a safe place and wait for the HazMat team to enter and size up the scene. They will test for chemical and radiological hazards as well as search for bombs and booby traps.
