Thanks for the correction, it was just a typo, no problem. Groucho Marx once shot an elephant in his pajamas. And most of my flying tales are based on a true story.
Still, I somehow think you've got me confused with someone else.

What did you think was my weasly [sic] denunciation? How am I upset and embarrassed? I honestly had no intent to make you feel threatened, paranoid or insecure. I'm not involved in a coverup about JFK ATC. Really.
I don't think I've said much at all here about JFK ATC except that they don't do those conditional takeoff clearances as far as I know.
However, it was good that the tower controller was watching and gave a couple of low altitude alerts to let the Emirates crew know something was wrong. EGPWS alerts are sometimes inhibited until very late on non-precision approaches due to configuration as one recent Airbus CFIT mishap at BHM showed.
