There are drills to prepare for attacks daily around the world. If these drills include on-site practice for attacks against likely targets, then one is eventually going to coincide with a real attack. There's a 1 in 7,256,313,856 chance that chance that you'll win the CT state lottery, but in a state with only 3 million people, at least one person wins almost every week.

I'm happy to say that we were better off for it. The security and emergency services were amazing.

It probably also helped the response to have emergency personnel and equipment were already on the scene. I imagine that it would have been a lot worse if they had to wait for people to show up and for stuff to be flown in.
