Abstract
A reprint of a classic article chronicles the simulated incident of a plane crashing into the John Hancock Tower in Boston, Massachusetts. Recounts how the plan was developed and practised by the scenario team. Inclusion by the practice team of the local fire department and paramedics paralleled reality. The exercise demonstrated that the Tower, even with an emergency plan, needed stronger preparation. This was effective because on 11 August 1992, an actual emergency occurred in the facility and the building was prepared as a result of the simulation.
