Power went down at Terminal 8 in JFK Airport on Tuesday afternoon, leaving passengers and workers scrambling.

The partial outage, which may have been related to storms near the airport, has shut down elevators, escalators, and checked baggage screening, said American Airlines officials.

Power first went down at about 2 pm for a few minutes, flickered on for a moment, and then went out for hours.

Flights from the terminal are still operating as normal, but American Airlines is allowing customers to change their flights without a fee because of the outage, said officials.

“We are currently offering additional flexibility that may allow you to change your travel plans without a fee,” said company spokesman Ross Feinstein.

Other airlines in the terminal include Royal Jordanian, Air Berlin, and Finair.

Terminal 8 was one of two terminals in the airport where crowds clapping and cheering for Olympic champion Usain Bolt caused a panic on Sunday night, with some passengers thinking the claps were gunshots. The terminals were shut down for an hour while authorities searched for an active shooter.

“We got a one two punch here. Its nothing like Sunday night, but it’s still not good. It’s not good at all,” said a worker at the terminal.
