Just a coincidence, or more?

Ask questions, learn. Is there more to the Batman & Sandy Hook shooting then meets the eye?


There have been some massive tragedies in America in the recent past, and I’m talking about the Aurora Theater and Sandy Hook shootings. These are two awful and unfortunate events, but there are things that the media doesn't tell you about then, like the connections between the two.

This connection is actually a medical training exercise that mirrored the event, exactly. But here’s where it gets a bit crazy: the exercise happened the same day.

Let’s take a look.

Aurora Shooting:

In 2012 James Holmes took a gun and killed over 20 people at a theater in Aurora, CO. The shooting itself has a lot of unanswered questions, but one of the things that raises a lot of questions is the fact that the shooting was mirrored in a medical training exercise that took place on the same day.

“Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine is in the middle of holding specialized classes in disaster life support for 150 second-year medical students. Along with response to natural disasters like hurricanes and floods and terrorist attacks, one of the scenarios being used to train the students is how to respond if a shooter fires at people in a movie theater and also uses a bomb in the attack.” - DenverPost.

I did a little research on the exact location of the medical school and the theater and looked it up on Google Maps:

The medical school is only a short 25 minute drive away from the theater where the shooting took place. It sounds like a mighty large coincidence…

…but it doesn't stop there.

Sandy Hook Shooting

A lot of children died at a school shooting in Sandy Hook last December, but let’s take a look at this: FEMA planned and hosted a drill called FEMA L-366 to teach police how to care for children in a disaster situation (in this case, a shooting).

This drill itself was only 30 minutes away from the school and was taking place at the same exact time the shooting occurred. At one point, officers had to make it clear that it was no longer a drill.

“By grim coincidence, even as the terrible events were unfolding in Newtown on Friday morning, the Putnam County Emergency Response Team (“ERT”) happened to be assembled for regular training in Carmel, and team members were at that very moment engaged in a mock scenario of an active-shooter in a school.” - Southeast-Brewster Patch

My point to all this?

There have been identical drills that took place during other tragic events like 9/11 (source), the 7/7 London bombing (source), the Boston bombing(?), and many others. The big question is why do all these tragic events have identical drills that happen at the same time and same place? What does all this mean? Is it a conspiracy by higher powers? Is it a new form of terrorism? Or is it all just a big coincidence?

I really have no idea.

Big things happen, things we will never know or understand, but if we limit our knowledge to the media we will never know the whole truth. The information in this article is just scratching the surface; do a little bit of research for yourself and see what you come up with!

I guess the reason I wrote this article is to show the importance if asking questions. Sometimes the questions can’t be answered, but it’s a step in the right direction.

P.S. This is my first article, and I’m not much of a writer, so please bear with me and please leave feedback! Thanks!
