Pilot loses patience after terror-threat delay @ JFK Airport

Terror threats that delayed two airplanes at New York City's John F. Kennedy International Airport this week prompted an intense exchange between the irate American Airlines pilot and the control tower.
"OK. We're surrounded by emergency vehicles, there's a reason for this," the pilot is heard saying in the audio recording of the exchange. "Somebody's got to give us the reason or we're going to evacuate the aircraft. You got 60 seconds."
The planes had been isolated and inspected after someone called in a threat that one official described as a bomb threat and a second official said involved terrorists who were stowed away in the planes' wheel housings.
