RE: Rescue Truck At JFK Severely Damaged (photos)

The $750,000 number is the overall cost of the truck. It might be an insurance write-off if there is more damage to the structure than visible in the distant photos.

RE: La Guardia's Central Terminal Making Slow Progress

LGA was built before airport security limited people without boarding passes, and it's been difficult post-9/11 to build shop beyond security.

Those hangars are actually United hangars. The AA hangars on the west side seem to be unaffected.
