A troop of Boy Scouts² was being used as "guinea pigs" in a test of emergency systems. A mock earthquake was staged, and the Scouts impersonated wounded persons who were to be picked up and cared for by the emergency units.

One Scout¹ was supposed to lie on the ground and await his rescuers, but the first-aid people got behind schedule, and the Scout lay "wounded" for several hours.

When the first-aid squad³ arrived where the casualty was supposed to be, they found nothing but a brief note: "Have bled to death and gone home."
