At the Northern corner of O'Hare by the Higgins bridge, the Chicago Fire Department has their "aircraft" fire training area. It looks like an old DC-10 but only shorter with stubby wings. When they ignite the "aircraft", you can see the thick black smoke for miles. Lately, they have been doing quite a few drills each week.
If it was real, you would have seen and heard it on the news/internet.
