Anyone seen this? What do you think, does anyone have details of the emergency?

It sounds to me like the guy just got ****ed off and declared, I'd like to assume that's not the case. Thanks!

Landing 22 Wind 320 at 23 Gust 35.
The Gusts are now exceeding the demonstrated Crosswind Limitation.
(Having flown out of JFK for years they are notorious for this, don't get me wrong, those boys can push some tin, and over all it is very enjoyable to work with them. However you can routinely find yourself at the limits with winds).
If anything happened to flight 2 during the touchdown rollout etc, having been above the limitation in our Ops Manual (volume I), AA would hang them.
We often get into the mission hacker state of mind, and of course the the type A personalty in us can ALWAYS fly or land in ANY conditions because many of us want to prove we can, prove we are good enough to ourselves to our peers etc. It is a mindset we need to break, many accidents are littered with guys exceeding the demonstrated capabilities of the aircraft or themselves.
Cheers,
AA

I'll bet they had already declared minimum fuel with approach and maybe even asked for 31L and been denied. The crew probably came to the conclusion that if they got one wind report out of tolerance they were declaring an emergency and landing the plane. If they hadn't declared an emergency, they probably would have been vectored all over creation while the controllers attempted to accommodate their request for 31L. I don't think they would carelessly pull the emergency card unless they absolutely needed to.
