Summary
More than 2,000 staff in the City’s tallest office buildings made a fast exit as the most extensive emergency exercise ever staged in the City of London got underway. The mock-up incident involved the assumption that an airliner had crashed into the top two storeys. It was play-acting - but it could happen.
