Risk.

A ground collision will happen before long at JFK/KJFK. Likely in the dark. Reasons will be unintelligible and rapid-fire ATC, non-U.S pilots, badly marked taxiways, multiple frequency changes, and 2 crew a/c monitoring and transmitting/responding on 2 separate frequencies at the same time. Non-standard is standard at that place. The airport is a shambles. FAA should be ashamed, as should the airport authorities. KORD is not much better. Whereas KLAS, KSFO, and even KLAX are streets ahead. My thoughts, having narrowly avoided a ground collision due to a 747 taxiing across us at high speed incorrectly, due to a wrong clearance from Ground.
