Portion of JFK Airport terminal evacuated due to massive water main break
WPIX/NY, Jan 7, 2018

NEW YORK — A portion of John F. Kennedy International Airport has been evacuated Sunday due to a massive water main break during an already chaotic scene as many passengers remained stranded from canceled or delayed flights from Thursday's snowstorm.

Just before 2 p.m., the water leak flooded a baggage claim area of Terminal 4, dousing suitcases piled up by stranded travelers.  The cause is still being investigated, officials say.

Hundreds of bags have been lined up in rows on the floor in the baggage claim areas while travelers, sometimes sleeping next to their suitcases, wait to board flights.  Travelers had complained about delays and baggage problems even before the leak occurred.
