Closed my local

Nasty WX here, but what strikes me about an outwardly survivable mishap is the number of exits rendered unusable. Reports locally that the left side exits unusable due fuel leak (did they hit an antenna or hut?) and R1 hanging over Jamaica bay (shades of an undelivered A340 at Tolouse..) leaving only 2 over wing exits and pax carring baggage out. Any fire or smoke and things would have gone downhill rapidment. A closer call than perhaps a casual observer might consider
