Leland, John (August 4, 1996). "Grieving at Ground Zero". Newsweek. Retrieved March 9, 2014. "The six-story Ramada, just off Kennedy airport, has been ground zero for the grief and incomprehension surrounding TWA Flight 800.

Swanson, Steven (November 1, 1999). "At JFK, Another Grim Routine in 'Heartbreak Hotel'". Chicago Tribune. "It is a routine familiar at the Ramada Plaza Hotel near John F. Kennedy International Airport, where this unassuming white-brick hotel has become known as "Heartbreak Hotel" because it is the place where family members have been brought after crashes involving planes that took off from the airport."
