If you’re flying out of Reagan National Airport on Saturday, try to grab a window seat.
Officials at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport have planned a training simulation scheduled for 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., during which they will practice a rescue operation in case a plane crashes in the Potomac River.
According to statement from the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, which manages the airport: “A river rescue exercise, featuring rescue boats and individuals being pulled from the Potomac River will also be part of the exercise. This simulated aircraft accident will test the airport’s emergency operations plan and provide hands-on training to airport and mutual aid emergency response personnel.”
The exercise is not expected to interfere with normal airport operations.
