. I believe there were a couple of others as well. JFK was backed up beyond belief that night.
Yup, I was in the stack, next behind Avianca when they did the approach and the missed.
The instant we landed, they crashed.
The Avianca Captain did not speak English but instructed his FO to decleare an emergency but the FO instead requested priority.
Same thing with this accident: It seems they never declared an emergency, but rather priority?
Sad beyond belief.
