I sure feel sorry for the captain of the A380. I feel he is going to wear the majority of the blame for this near tragedy, so we await the report.
That said, in the end there needs to be some resolution of why it happend and how such an occurence can be avoided in the future.

So let's leave it to the FAA work on that.

In the meantime, I am sure there will be many other suggestions here. The problem is that the posters have no concrete ideas how to prevent more such events.
Lots of freely given suggestions... some of which may be in the final report. I just think a major contributory factor is that JFK is not A380 friendly. But then again, which airport is?
