Boston Logan holds largest-ever emergency drill
Boston Logan holds largest-ever emergency drill
On the gray rainy morning of October 27, the largest airport mass casualty drill ever held at a U.S. airport was a success, and a test of the many elements of response teams throughout Boston.

For the full story go to Travel New England's website at: http://www.travelnewenglandnewspapers.com/lead.html I suspect the difference between a mass casualty drill and a mass casualty disaster is as great as combat training and combat. I also suspect the vehicles and people were all gassed and coffee'd up, waiting to roll. I just hope they can do as well at the real thing. |

Boston Logan holds largest-ever emergency drill
It's the balls! We actually saw some movement among Massport personel.
We did a noise study some years ago with Massport Class F airports only to determine that there were several microphones on 30 ft. stantions surrounding the airport. If an aircraft exceeded the predetermined noise footprint, the carrier was fined and this is still is effect today along with landing between 11.00 pm and 7.00 am. Massport also takes 2% of the gross from every carrier operating at a Massport (both Logan and Hanscom) airport. The landing fees are cruel and completely bust any net profit for most revenue legs. When attempting to fly from SW Florida to BOS we were handed an EDP time of indefinite since they were experiencing a snowstorm and couldn't get the runways cleared. So I called Massport and spoke to the Manger of snow removal and queried him about the brand new snow removal equipment and the new snow removal program. He said there is no snow removal program for Logan Airport. I asked how much snow have ya got, he said 'bout an inch, gonna take us all day to clear it. I told him I was all set, released the parking brake and headed for Boston. They were only accepting Cat II. Have a great one!
