I seem to recall they do them every other year. At the one that I saw (which probably would have been in '02) I remember they had a few busses blocking the scene of the accident. A loud sound effect of screeching tires and the like was played, and the busses pulled forward, offering a view of some crumpled cars. Emergency services responded as they would have in realtime, with Rice County Sheriff, Northfiled Police, Northfield Fire, etc. showing up on the scene. There was also a medivac helicopter which landed. It was pretty well done until the end when they played Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" after one of the victims was deemed expired.
