I agree, NYC, although at times quite hectic, is a very interesting and challenging airport and at least New Yorkers are for real and like those sun tanned, face lifted, hormon pumped and self concerned californians.
Like they say in Australia, there's nothing cool about a tan !
If the ATC boys chew your head off, then bloody do the same and everything gets back to normal. This is NYC for God's sake !
You still have to give the boys a bow for what they do in this mad house, specially in the kinds of foul weathers NYC gets in winter and summer.

As to the 380 speed, it was exactly 9 kt. The film's speed was accelarated at double the speed by the network who put it online.
As to whose fault ? Let the NTSB do their job.
