Plane down in the city: Operation Crash and Surge

Duane F. Kann and Thomas W. Draper
Journal of Business Continuity & Emergency Planning, 7 (3), 184-192 (2014)

Abstract

This article is about the experiences gained from the largest full-scale exercise ever conducted in the State of Florida, specifically regarding the Orlando International Airport (MCO) venues. The exercise was centred on an airplane crashing into a hotel just outside of MCO property. The scenario clarified details regarding Incident Command and the unique jurisdictional responsibilities associated with a large-scale mass casualty incident. There were additional challenges with airline operations, walking wounded, and information sharing that provided valuable experiences toward enhancing emergency operations. This article also outlines information gained by the MCO “go team” that traveled to San Francisco following the crash of Asiana flight 214. This real-life incident shone a light on many of the strengths and opportunities found throughout the MCO exercise and this article shows the interrelationship of both of these invaluable experiences.

Keywords: Orlando International Airport (MCO); mass casualty incident; full-scale exercise; Asiana Airlines; Flight 214
