SUNY Broome simulates disaster scenarios with local EMS
Over 300 students participated in the mock accident, acting as victims, triage officers, law enforcement, and others. In the fictional scenario, a group of friends were hosting a graduation party when a car drove into a crowd, killing and injuring several people.
The mock accident is a chance for students to experience what a real emergency might feel like, everything from the blood to people screaming. One student involved Ayden Doolittle, was playing a Public Information Officer, and we interviewed him amidst the chaos.
'We've got everybody from nurses, to EMS workers, to law enforcement. So, there's a lot of people here that have never seen anything like this. This is a very big situation, and especially with all of the noise that's going around. We've got people screaming, we've got birthing mothers, we've got even news here, trying to talk to us, it's a lot, and it's going to be a lot of pressure on everybody,' Doolittle said.
Before the event started, SUNY Broome made several announcements to the surrounding community that the noise and sirens were a planned drill. This is the college's 10th mock disaster.

Food Network star Anne Burrell died from drug overdose suicide: NYC Medical Examiner
NEW YORK — Food Network star Anne Burrell committed suicide by ingesting a mixture of drugs, the New York City Medical Examiner said Thursday. Burrell, 55, was found collapsed on her shower floor inside her Brooklyn apartment about 1 a.m. June 17. An autopsy has determined she died of the 'combined effects of diphenhydramine, ethanol, cetirizine, and amphetamine,' a Medical Examiner autopsy has now found. Her death has been deemed a suicide, a spokeswoman for the city Medical Examiner said. The 911 dispatcher told Burrell's husband, Stuart Claxton, to perform CPR on the 'Worst Cooks in America' host while awaiting first responders, though her body was already cold. EMS personnel also attempted lifesaving measures when they got there but could not revive the chef. Burrell married Claxton in 2021 and was stepmother to his son, Javier. 'Anne was a remarkable person and culinary talent — teaching, competing and always sharing the importance of food in her life and the joy that a delicious meal can bring,' the Food Network said in a statement after her death. Burrell became a fan favorite at the Food Network for her signature spiky blonde hair and energetic personality on 'Worst Cooks,' doing her best to shape floundering chefs into respectable recipe followers. -------------
