Anybody know what this is?
I saw this at ORD. It seems like a hybrid between a B747 and a DC-10. It has its wings cut off and looks gross. Why is this here at ORD, and what is it?

You usually see one of these at every airport. Normally, they're located near the airport fire department, because they're used by the airport fire department for training purposes.
Can't guarantee 100% that's what it's there for, but if I had to guess, that's what I'd say it is.
Somewhere, I have a video of the ANC airport fire department demonstrating its gazillion-PSI sprayer against an old rusted hulk of an aircraft to the 30 or so FTers who joined us for Cabbage DO 2010...
