NEW YORK -- Poor communication among police, private security and other personnel contributed to a mass panic that erupted at a New York City airport when loud cheers for Usain Bolt somehow led to a false report of gunshots, according to a review by a team of top security officials. Derrick Nnadi Jersey .Passengers at Kennedy Airport ran for the exits on Aug. 14 after cheering at a terminal bar during the Olympics was mistaken for something sinister. Panic spread to two other terminals when news of a gunman spread on social media, and police responded by drawing their weapons.A letter from the officials to Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, made public on Monday, blamed both airport employees and law enforcement for fueling the hysteria by overreacting to several mistaken reports of gunshots, instead of seeking to calm travelers.Among the more glaring missteps: At the height of the chaos, the flight crew of a Korean Air jetliner deployed evacuation chutes, producing a `popping sound that may have been mistaken for gunfire. The officials also said that in the end, the airport had no efficient way to let travelers know the threat wasnt real.Since the Sept. 11 attacks, the specter of terrorism has embedded itself in the national psyche and created a persistent, abiding tension that cannot be ignored, the letter concluded. Coordination and training ... is absolutely fundamental to properly address this new paradigm.Cuomo ordered the review after the episode raised questions about the ability of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs the airport, to respond to an actual terror attack.The events at JFK were a wake-up call to rethink and reevaluate our security procedures to reflect the new, changing reality of 21st century threats and to better ensure the safety of all New Yorkers, the governor said in a statement Monday.A review of security video and recordings of 911 calls found that the chain-reaction scare began with a call about a disturbance at a cafe, where travelers were watching TVs showing Usain Bolt sprint to a gold medal victory in the Olympics. Several calls that followed reported shots fired in the same terminal, the letter said.After spotting Port Authority police officers pull their weapons and move toward the commotion, Transportation Security Administration agents began heading for the emergency exits, it said. Passengers followed their lead, with some even fleeing onto the tarmac.Seeing TSA agents running away and PAPD with guns drawn created obvious fear and panic, it said. As the result of the self-evacuation, secure areas were compromised, which left the terminals, tarmac and airplanes vulnerable to a possible terrorist attack or other illegal conduct, it added.Over the next 90 minutes, a total of 275 officers -- 88 from the Port Authority and 187 from the New York Police Department -- responded to the calls before authorities determined there was no evidence of a shooter, the review concluded.Among the recommendations by the security officials is setting up a central command center at JFK manned by the representatives from each security entity. The center should have access to closed-circuit television feeds and the ability to make announcements to a terminal or the entire airport from a central location, the letter said.Democratic U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York called on authorities to make the command center a priority, saying he remains deeply troubled that many loopholes remain at JFK, especially with camera security.Port Authority Executive Director Pat Foye said the agency is committed to providing coordinated training and drills recognizing the needs and strengths of all agencies, and to make internal and external communications seamless.---This story has been corrected to show the first name of the homeland security secretary is Jeh, not Jeb. Kahlil McKenzie Jersey . -- San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks was fined $15,570 by the NFL on Wednesday for his hit on Saints quarterback Drew Brees last Sunday. Chiefs Jerseys Sale .B. - Sebastien Auger made 44 saves as the Saint John Sea Dogs edged the visiting Acadie-Bathurst Titan 2-1 on Saturday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action. http://www.cheapkansascitychiefsjerseys.com/ . As he recorded his 23rd and 24th points of the evening, a segment of the sellout Air Canada Centre crowd expressed their appreciation for the Raptors point guard with a smattering of MVP chants. INDIANAPOLIS -- Andrew Luck spent his offseason trying to become a better quarterback.He let others argue about what the Indianapolis Colts needed to fix the offense. He downplayed the significance of a new, rich contract, and an array of coaching changes. He stuck to the script when talking about protecting himself on the field so he could focus on getting healthy.Now, after turning the page on the worst season of his pro career, Luck is ready for a fresh start.Sure I have a little anxiety because of the unknown and whats going to happen, he said Monday when asked about this weekends season opener against Detroit. But Ive been nervous before every game Ive played -- high school, college and the NFL.For three years, Luck looked worthy of being the No. 1 draft pick in 2012 and played like the best young quarterback in football. Each season he won 11 games, took Indy one step deeper in the playoffs and made the Pro Bowl.Then came last season, when Luck never really looked healthy.He went 2-5 as the starter, missed the first nine games of his career, completed 55.3 percent of his passes, and finished with 1,881 yards, 15 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. The indelible image of 2015 was the cringe-worthy hit against Denver that made everyone inside Lucas Oil Stadium gasp, and left Luck with a lacerated kidney that everyone in his locker room would rather forget.I try not to watch it, second-year receiver Phillip Dorsett said. I was watching it at home when it happened, and I kind of knew he was hurt right away.But the time Luck spent on the sidelined forced him to the view the game through a different prism.When he returned for offseason workouts this spring, Luck decided to spend more time practicing throwaways and sliding. At training camp, he acknowledged there was more motivation to prove last season an aberration. And with Sundays game nearing, Luck continues to work getting in sync with a new cast and fine-tuning the footwork that new quarterbacks coach Brian Schottenheimer believes could get the 26-year-old quarterback righted.I think Ive improved, Luck said. But at the end of the day, its about going out and being an efficient offense and scoring points.How much has changed since Luck took his last meaningful snap Nov. 8?Colts general manager Ryan Grigson used four of his eight draft picks, including a first-rounder on center Ryan Kelly, to revamp an offensive lline that allowed 37 sacks last season and far too many hits over Lucks first four seasons. Dorian ODaniel Jersey. Grigson believes adding Kelly will finally give Luck an anchor at the most crucial spot on the line.Indy cut ties with veteran Andre Johnson, making 26-year-old T.Y. Hilton the dean of the receivers room. The Colts also let one of Lucks college teammates, tight end Coby Fleener, walk away in free agency, making Dwayne Allen the clear starter.Offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski finally got to install his offense, and after three seasons of working with longtime veteran Matt Hasselbeck in quarterback meetings, Luck has become more vocal on and off the field.But what really matters is Lucks play. If the preseason is any indication, the Colts could be in for a big season.He completed all eight of his passes in his first preseason game against Baltimore and showed he could still take a hit when he was sacked three times and hit three other times in his most extensive action against Philadelphia. He finished the preseason 21 of 26 for 201 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions.Really for him being out that long and having the opportunity to get back out there and be with his teammates, and then to play well and have some success is obviously a good thing, coach Chuck Pagano said after the Baltimore game.Now, Luck must prove he and the Colts can replicate those numbers over a 16-game regular season, and hes eager to get back to work.There are steps in every preseason, every offseason, every training camp, every preseason, Luck said. So now its sort of the next step and on to Detroit.Game notes The Colts signed free agent cornerback Darryl Morris and waived cornerback Frankie Williams on Monday as they continue tweaking the roster. ... Pagano said he would be shocked if defensive end Kendall Langford doesnt extend his consecutive games streak to 129 on Sunday, even though Langford has not practiced since having arthroscopic knee surgery in early August. Pagano also did not completely rule out the return of left guard Jack Mewhort, who has not played since injuring his right knee against Philadelphia. The initial diagnosis was that Mewhort would miss two to four weeks.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholesale Jerseys From China NFL Jerseys Outlet Wholesale Stitched Jerseys Youth NFL Jerseys China Cheap NFL Black Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys From ChinaChina NFL Jerseys ' ' '
