00:00Here at Taipei Main Station, Taiwan's largest transit hub, first responders and city officials
00:05are practicing what to do in case of a smoke grenade attack.
00:09It comes after a similar attack took place here last month and weeks before Taiwan's
00:13Lunar New Year travel rush.
00:24For this drill, attackers throw smoke grenades and slash other travelers with knives at spots
00:29around the station.
00:31It's part of a series of public safety exercises the city's holding in the wake of the attack
00:35in December that left four people dead, including the attacker.
00:39Today, we will express the most proud and proud of our partners.
00:51Taipei Mayor Jiang Wanan says the drills are crucial to minimizing harm and urges commuters
00:56and travelers to stay vigilant.
00:59The規模 and情境 are more complicated.
01:03At Taipei Main Station, there are four vehicles in the Taipei Main Station,
01:06four lines on the left, and a large transport station.
01:10It's very complicated and difficult and difficult and difficult.
01:14I want to remind the people to run away.
01:17That's why they are able to get away from the moment.
01:20If any situation that happens, they ask the people to not take pictures.
01:27Some people welcome the new public safety push, but others say that resources would be better spent on regular training, rather than a one-off set of drills.
01:57This is the second of three drills the city is planning before the Lunar New Year holiday, when millions of people travel back to their hometowns.
02:23The last one will focus on collaboration between Taipei and neighboring New Taipei.
02:28As people in Taipei grapple with the impact of December's deadly attack, drills like these are aimed at getting authorities prepared and keeping the public safe.
