Pima County Multi-Agency SERF Scenario
First Discussion:
While on approach from maneuvers, one C-130 and one commercial regional jet (CRJ-100) collide in Tucson – by the Tucson International Airport – in the area of Campbell and Valencia. There are no survivors from the C-130 (five military officers killed), but the commercial jet is able to land (30 injured survivors out of 60 passengers and crew; the other 30 are deceased).
The collision occurs over Sunnyside Unified High School while classes are in session and a park adjacent to the school. Fifty students, teachers, volunteers, or others are injured. A wing of the C-130 falls off the aircraft and lands at the school.
Second Discussion:
