Original Toronto Star caption: A 'crash' course in working together. A fire department photographer finds a high perch at yesterday's mock disaster at Toronto Island Airport. Humber College students played the role of victims and an old Otter aircraft starred as a wrecked commuter jet. The exercise; which went off without a hitch; allowed the airport emergency crew to use its new fire truck and mainland rescuers to co-ordinate getting victims to hospitals.
