Today, it was Every 15 Minutes at my school. Basically, it is a program to teach kids about the dangers of drunk driving. It is totally realistic and really upsetting. Every 15 minutes for the entire day, they announce that someone has died on the loud speaker, they then play a video obituary for the person.
In the middle of the day, a 911 call comes on and says that there has been an accident. All Juniors and Seniors then go outside and witness two cars completely totaled with kids inside. 2 Fire trucks, police cars, ambulances, and a coroner come to the scene. There is a police officer announcing everything that happens, he announces the names of the kids as they are "found" and announce what their situation is, deceased/critical/etc...They take the kids that are pronounced deceased in the coroner's car and the kids that are in critical condition to the hospital, where they try to "revive" them. Then, the "drunk driver" is given a Breathalyzer test and numerous other tests and taken into custody.
It is really realistic and heart wrenching.
Take a look at the video from my school from two years ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbeZtE-9dg0
