Putting out fake fires

Ever wondered what the scene of a runway accident looks like? This might be the closest you'll get: one photographer has captured some interesting shots of crews going through air disaster simulations.

Apparently at JFK, you can actually see the simulation rig they use--"an intimidating black oblong structure situated dangerously close to one of the runways."

The photographer also traveled to the sites of a few actual accidents, which provides for more of a somber mood. Check it all out here.

But remember, flying is still much safer than driving!
