With those words broadcast around the city just before 9 a.m. Thursday, a safety preparedness exercise of explosive proportions was launched behind the airport.

91裸聊视频淥peration Collaborate91裸聊视频� brought BC Ambulance, Kelowna, Lake Country and Ellison fire departments, emergency health services and UBC Okanagan together to fight a common foe, an imaginary 91裸聊视频渄isgruntled passenger.91裸聊视频�

Working in tandem they dealt with smoke, fire and actors playing hostages, a corpse and the aforementioned problematic passenger.

91裸聊视频淭he scenario started with a disgruntled passenger, then there91裸聊视频檚 a security component and it escalated from that security component to smoke coming from the airplane,91裸聊视频� said Sam Samaddar, airport director, explaining the scene presented to reporters who had gathered to watch the exercise.

91裸聊视频淭here91裸聊视频檚 an internal threat component, which is part of the exercise and there will be a fire component as the smoke builds into something much bigger.91裸聊视频�

Basically a passenger starts revealing himself as a threat, people are injured, the plane is shipped over an isolation area where a fire lights up the sky and firefighters knock it down. Someone dies, although nobody was told from what.

It was very dramatic, and highlighted how well equipped the city is to contain an airport threat quickly and efficiently.

91裸聊视频淲e don91裸聊视频檛 want to contaminate the rest of the populations or bring a threat to other aircraft coming or arriving,91裸聊视频� said Samaddar, who noted that much of the event was built from fragments of real world incidents.

While the exercise was built on foreign scenarios,  Kelowna isn91裸聊视频檛 immune to issues of this kind.

91裸聊视频淭hat was a real incident where an individual, because he was late for his airplane, decided to call in a bomb threat,91裸聊视频� he said.

91裸聊视频淲e didn91裸聊视频檛 know who the individual was, but we activated our emergency procedures plan and contacted the RCMP.91裸聊视频�

Typically with these kinds of incidents, Samaddar said, you don91裸聊视频檛 actually find out the person behind it, but in this case the airport was up and running within three hours of the threat.

91裸聊视频淭hrough our systems 91裸聊视频� our closed circuit TV, our telephone logging devices 91裸聊视频� we were able to track and apprehend that individual.91裸聊视频�

When all was said and done, Samaddar said the event went well, although a debriefing to get a real grasp on department performance was set to happen after news crews departed.

These large scale emergency exercises are conducted every four years to test YLW91裸聊视频檚 airport emergency response plan.
