I'm still here!
Kennedy Airport was a disaster last night. Terminal 1 was crowded with thousands of passengers waiting for flights. The terminal had only partial power and computers were not working-- neither were the luggage scanners.
Indeed, my flight was scheduled to depart on time, however there were approx. 2,000 people competing for seats on that flight. The terminal's a/c was not working and it was intolerably hot there. I saw two elderly people pass out and medical help had a difficult time getting to them because of the throng.
I left after a few hours and returned home. I will try to re-schedule my trip today. I assume the Belgian adventure will be cancelled, but the French leg of the journey is still possible.
