    This would explain why they were only allowing vfr aircraft to transition through tonight... they wouldn't let the news choppers in the airspace.

    Sounds like a hydraulic failure. Glad no one was hurt.
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    They are removing the AC right now,a couple of cranes out there with the usual PA suppot, JFK has issued a 1st tier Ground Stop due to removal of disabled aircraft on Rwy 4L
    JFK is arriving on Rwy4R and departing Rwy31L Rwy’s 4L and 31R are closed.Things should be back to normal by 0800. (Whatever that is) Out to offs are averaging 1 hr now

    "Out to off" is the time from when an aircraft pushes back, to when it becomes airborne.
