Cast of Millions Puts on Calif. Earthquake Drill

Emily Loren, 17, is assisted by a Los Angeles fireman during an earthquake drill at Bishop Alemany H.S. Thursday, Nov. 13, 2008, in the Mission Hills section of Los Angeles. Southern Californians dropped to the ground, covered their heads and held onto the furniture Thursday for a mock "Big One," an earthquake drill billed as the largest in U.S. history and aimed at testing everyone from state leaders to students who donned fake blood to play victims. At exactly 10 a.m., television news programs announced there was an earthquake disaster drill, then cut to cameras in school classrooms showing children ducking under their desks and holding onto them. A full day of mock post-earthquake exercises such as rescues, emergency medical care and news conferences was planned.
