CNN producer note

seeitnow told me fake news reporters with camera's were brought in during the exercise, in an effort to try and control the information from being "leaked" for what could possibly be a public relations disaster for the Olympics.

iReport —

In the 3rd and final exercise before Canada hosts the Olympic Games a simulated disaster was staged at one of the venue locations. Some participants in the exercise were stripped of their clothing while emergency responders, with help from the USA doused them with frigid water.
