Hopefully someone misheard the "shots"

It was just a couple of shots, no one injured. Terminal 8 was evacuated.

like

Police will neither confirm or deny of possible shooting! Airport shut down!

like

Supposedly, it originated from terminal 8. So no flights were allowed to land at jfk for almost 30-45 mins and it created air traffic around the airport. Mostly, the thing is a hoax.

Pilot mentioned Terminals 1 and 8 are "possibly" impacted.

Just got off the plane. Had to bus it to another terminal. In a taxi heading home now.
Heard it wasn't an actual gunshot so that's good. It's just a big mess at JFK right now. Check your flights if you're flying out of JFK tomorrow. Not surprise if it's gonna delayed which means extra time to sleep!

Just read a report about it being a false alarm.

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
