div class withRelated idWNStoryBodyspan idWNStoryDatelineEGG HARBOR TWP. -spanpIt looks like a scene from a Hollywood summer blockbuster. But what it actually was was an emergency preparedness exercise held Saturday at the Atlantic City International Airport.ppquotThe whole purpose of today is really to exercise our airport emergency planquot says SJTA Executive Director Sam Donelson.ppThis exercise is required by the FAA and offers first responders hands on field experience when responding to a airplane crash.ppquotEvery 3 years well join with our local and federal partners such as the TSA FBI county emergency management as well as many local paid and volunteer fire companies from around the regionquot Donelson explains.ppThe exercise will also help fire and police officials evaluate the emergency plans for the airport federal state and local response agencies.ppquotThis allows us to test our plan to see how well we can react and how well our partners in the first responders react as wellquot states Donelson.ppLocal hospitals also participated by receiving patients who were hurt in the simulated wreckage. The creators of the simulation kept it interesting as well by not giving out any details of the exercise even to senior officials.ppquotIts only a handful of people that actually know whats going to take place today so they develop a scenario and then we then react to that scenarioquot claims Donelson.pdiv
