Disabled aircraft at JFK

[hiss srq]

I just got a message, 22R is now closed due to a disabled aircraft and they are landing/departing one runway at this time. Airborne holds are being expected as the demand exceeds capacity for the moment. Updates as I get them. Monitor JFK tower/ground if you like. I am not clear on the exacts but if it goes on long enough I qwould bet some airlines might start to divert.

Yeah I am listening to it right now and it seems its a jetBlue A320 or E190 that is stuck for some reason. They moved the departures to 13R.

Wow, nice shots. Looks like a good amount is worn off, as if the wheel locked maybe?
