terminal,

The . ‘Simulated

" Disaster’ set up by airport

officials was an emergency
landing of a Boeing 717.
‘The craft coming from
Vancouver was carrying a
total of 30 persons, in-
cluding crew.

As the plane approaches
Little Herman Mountain,
the pilot reports.to airport
officials he is low on fuel. .

Plans are made quickly
for the craft to land on

runway 03-21, at 10:15
a.m., when the. pilot
reports he now has run out
of fuel and is losing con-

- trol of the craft.

As the aircraft touches

‘ down, it crashes, breaking
- in two sections. These sec- |.

tions come to rest near the

- compass rose and are 50
. feet. apart.

There is no outbreak of

fire, and there is no leak-

ing or open fuel present.
Invited media people ar-

- gived on the scene; the
- opies of the victims could
be heard. Their make-up -

was very realistic, as they

. the 747 Squadron ‘i in Ter- .

race volunteered to act in*
the pre-planned disaster.
A school bus was used in.
lieu of a. craft:: Victims ©
were spread. many. -feet
from the accident:as well

-as under the bus and
. around it.

Emergency personnel

were soon on: the scene
: after the scenario was

staged. These included
first aid attendants, a doc-
tor, and a nurse who im-
mediately went to work on

. assessing victims in order
of priority.

One of the victims, by.

the name of Elizabeth,
- was lying near the fence.

‘sAll I could hear was the
people scream, and then I
don’t know...[s. anyone:
hurt bad?...My friends -
O.K.? Did anyone call my
Mom yet?’’ Ten minutes
following the accident,
‘emergency personnel came
to check the young girl.
As the activities were on-
going. on the set up ‘crash,
