Might make for some interesting listening. I understand it will get underway around 10AM.
Los Angeles International Airport will conduct a full-scale exercise to test the readiness of firefighters and other emergency crews to handle a major aircraft accident.
The two-hour simulation scheduled Wednesday morning is required by the Federal Aviation Administration.
Some 500 emergency responders will take part, along with 150 volunteers role-playing as victims.
Pyrotechnics will simulate a crash and fire. The drill will include a static Boeing 777 aircraft, a debris field and deployment of LAX's six new aircraft firefighting apparatus.
Some 200 officials will observe the mandated triennial exercise.
