Audio of JFK tower evacuation on MP3. Cool file!

HonuPineapple · July 11th, 2008, 13:25

I have a 6min 3MB MP3 that was emailed to me of a controller managing traffic as JFK tower was being evacuated when it had a fire. Very professional. Good file.

I uploaded it to rapidshare b/c the file as a little too big for this site.

Talk about cool, calm, and collect. That's impressive!

"Do we put our name in a hat?" Haha, smart ass pilots. That was pretty cool to hear.

A fire in the 15th floor of the control tower building at New York's JFK Airport forced the evacuation of the airport's tower controllers, located in the 17th floor Wednesday afternoon between 2036Z (1636 EDT) and 2135Z. All departing traffic was halted resulting in flight delays of up to two hours, inbound traffic was handled from a backup tower.

The fire was quickly brought under control, smoke removal accomplished about an hour later and normal operations resumed.
