The G8 begins a meeting today in L'Aquila, Italy, which was the site of a magnitude 6.3 earthquake last April. Due to safety concerns to protect the world's top leaders, an earthquake evacuation plan has been developed to helicopter out Prime Minister Stephen Harper, President Nicolas Sarkozy, Chancellor Angela Merkel, Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, Prime Minister Taro Aso, President Dmitry Medvedev, Prime Minister Gordon Brown, and President Barack Obama in the event of another earthquake.
