Wow! Clearing a waiting aircraft to take off at the same time as FOUR other aircraft are crossing the same runway must be something of a record for JFK ATC. It seems three different controllers were involved in creating this mess. The SwissAir pilot reacted very calmly considering the ridiculousness of this situation. I fear it's only a matter of time before one of these incidents doesn't end so well....

I'm not sure that's correct. I've checked all the usual sources and so far I've not been able to locate any statement or report saying that human factors have been ruled out. That said, sometimes, even in semi-official Chinese newspapers like the South China Morning Post, "information" can be presented as if it's a summary of a report, when really it's just an opinion piece. So I'll remain open-minded on this. But I haven't found anything so far. Could I trouble you to post a link or a reference to the report that has ruled out human factors?...

It's very regrettable that Boeing isn't holding its senior executives to account for the flawed strategic decisions that have severely damaged its brand and its reputation. Decisions that of course have also tragically cost many innocent lives. One can only hope that the 40% slide in the share price and the recent high-profile order cancellations will be a wake-up call.
