LifeFlight’s Sheldon Dreaddy, R.N., and other emergency personnel carry a plane crash ‘victim’ to a waiting LifeFlight helicopter during Tuesday night’s Disaster Drill at Nashville International Airport.  Vanderbilt Medical Center took part in the full-scale disaster exercise along with numerous emergency response agencies and more than 200 community volunteers. Several other ‘victims’ were also transported to Vanderbilt’s Emergency Department for treatment.
