Airport Emergency Training

Posted: Updated:

The Bismarck Airport has as close to an emergency as it can get.

  A mock airplane crash scenario is set up on a taxi-way using buses.
  Volunteers are acting as victims of the plane crash--and emergency services respond identical to that of a real accident.
  This training only happens once every three years--but is important for everyone involved in case a real emergency should happen.

(Greg Haug/ Airport Manager) " You can put together the best plans that you think you need but if you don't test then you don't know how well they're gonna work and that's what this is all about and this is in the field it's full scale, it's real time."

  The Training lasted until 10 o'clock -- going through the full process from handling the wounded to handling the media.
