Federal authorities hold nuclear attack drills near Manhattan as North Korea shows off its military might
As Kim Jong-Un showed off North Korea's military might in a live-artillery drill on Tuesday, federal authorities just outside of New York City were testing their response to a nuclear attack.
The drill - called 'Operation Gotham Shield' - practices how federal agencies, local emergency management teams and medics would respond to the hypothetical situation of a 10-kiloton nuclear bomb exploding on the New Jersey side of the Lincoln tunnel.
On Tuesday, the second day of the four-day drill, emergency officials gathered at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey - which would be used as a decontamination and casualty center in such an incident.
