Blue Grass Airport’s Realistic Emergency Drill | Lexington News

Blue Grass Airport just completed a massive, real-world emergency drill mandated by the FAA — simulating a collision between a regional jet and a helicopter. Over 20 emergency agencies, including fire and medical crews, joined forces with community volunteers playing injured passengers, all enhanced with realistic makeup and prosthetics. The goal? To test readiness under pressure.
