The IOC said Tuesday that preventing such a catastrophe already was part of security planning for the Salt Lake City Winter Games, as it was for every Olympics since the 1972 Munich massacre. “In our assumptions for every games, regardless of the tragedy of Sept. 11, the catastro phe scenario has always been incorporated,” said International Olympic Committee director general Francois Carrard. “In fact, our scenario was, and is, a plane crashing in the midst of the opening ceremony, full of people, full of fuel, broadcast live worldwide on television.” The IOC’s ruling executive board reaffirmed the decision to go ahead with the Salt Lake Games in February 2002, while stressing that all aspects of secu rity were being reviewed. “The commitment to the games was very clear and unconditional,” said German board member Thomas Bach. “We wanted to demonstrate sol idarity with the Americans and send the message that the Olympic movement will not bow to violence.” Carrard said last week’s strikes by hijacked planes on the World Trade Center and Pentagon would not alter the scope of security in Salt Lake City. “What has occurred is a tragedy of course,” he said. “But the format for security at the games has not in itself changed.” Carrard said the IOC began planning for such air assaults ™ One mill ^campaign u ^Bing used Horeboard video conference Thursday fraiL^ anc i Utah.
