I took part in Emercom tactical drill on Sportivnaya subway

And Emercom told me I can show you the photos :) So I will show what the drill really was for a person who was ‘injured’ by the explosion (actually the explosion was real). Emercom is The Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defence, Emergencies and Elimination of Consequences of Natural Disasters in case if you didn't know it.

First we had to put on some make up that consists from artificial blood and bones. Then Emercom bus took us to subway Admiralteiskaya where we had to wail a little until the subway was closed.

Please notice that all the INJURES ARE NOT REAL. And we just have fun while waiting.

Then the subway was closed. But it was opened for us)

So we entered the subway car that would be exploded in about an hour.

We had a lot of time before the explosion, so we fixed our make up, chated and laughed

But then the subway train headed to Sportivnaya.

And our subway car was exploded at the moment it stopped.

I hope you'll never need it but just remember - it is very important to care about your nose and mouth after explosion. It is very difficult to breathe and if you can't stop caughing you should drink some water.

This is how it looks inside the subway car.

We couldn't leave it because the doors were closed. So rescuers opened it.

And this is the very beginning of evacuation

On the platform there were already firefighters and rescuers. They had to carry away people who couldn't go themselves and help the other to leave subway. Actually it was absolutely impossible to stay in the subway longer. I tried to! But I failed - Russian firefighters and rescuers are very attentive and they really know what to do.

On the way out. Firefighters are carrying a man who is unconscious.

In the street

Sorry, I was told I cannot show you how the Emercom psychologists work (it was very interesting too). Drill finished very fast. 750 people were evacuated successfully.

And after all Emercom bus came and took us away
