In reply to the discussion: Holy shit! Army running helicopter exercises in Los Angeles. [View all]global1
(25,169 posts)was being dropped off at my hotel by a friend when all of a sudden - helicopters came roaring down the street we were on - circling the downtown area near the convention center - and landing on roofs of certain buildings. This all came out of nowhere. There were no warnings. Everybody in the area was freaked out and scared because we didn't know what was happening.
Later that night it was broadcast on the night news and in the papers in the morning that it was the military doing a drill in case there was an attack at the convention center during the Dem Convention.
Why this might be happening in LA? Are there any national events coming up in LA? Award shows where there may be tons of people showing up? The military might be training for that.
