actually, the engine fire is issue # 1

Underrated 😂

Totally understandable indeed 😂

Drinks are on ATC

ATC was ready to hit up the duty-free!

@@OwenPrescott The Hell it is. They're not paying for 1 drink after this juggling performance.

Indeed. This guy was the one on fire. Remember most unrelated communications are deleted so imagine the busy frequency there

Controller has to be glad everybody followed instructions and behaved - no wrong turns or overruns, no impatient pilots has to have kept the chaos organized

He was like: "Aight, anyone else?"

One emergency and two things that happen all the time

He must be thinking this feels like the simulator exercise from hell.

Yes, that was cool 😃👍

All details count on this channel :)

Because both were in the same aircraft. It was the two pilots in the cockpit. Since they use the same transmitter, comm doesnt get blocked, it just transmits two microphones

@@VASAviationit does? That's pretty odd in terms of radio tech. Is that something that would happen on most planes?

@@MarkPentlerusually its a non issue because one pilot gets the radio and another is doing something else but if I had to guess both were on radio listening to the chaos. Its an instinct when drama is unfolding.

Words you don't hear every day, nor do you want to.

@@johnopalko5223 ... Yep, when you get confused between the guy on fire, the guy with the medical emergency, and the violent drink guy, you know you are not having a good day. Wrong week to quit sniffing glue!

Correction to the caption... "guy who's plane almost caught on fire"

​@@adb012don't forget the amphetamines!

weeb

As the old song goes: Mama said there’d be days like this!

Naw, the JetBlue was on fire. This guy was cool and collected.

@@absolutjackalLOL

😅

@@absolutjackal💀

Yep. Thought the same.

2:09 Did you catch the "Iberia?"

I was thinking that too.

Hell Steve probably trained him

I'd love to hear Kennedy Steve's take on these events.

​@@beachbum77979 his voice even sounds a bit like Steve's, but he's way too chill compared to him.. 😅 even though pilots were not the ones messing things up this time lol

If I were a junior ATC, working there would be my dream job. Learn from the best.

@@beachbum77979 Probably something like "I left the place in good hands." :D

Take notes, SFO controllers

Same in healthcare. On some nights, you can’t even breathe.

@@AEMoreira81 I do believe that. So I´m really thankful for your daily hard work.

One emergency and two inconveniences

At least they were all on the ground and no mayday. Even the engine fire was fortunately minimal.

Pilot: We got a guy that says he's gonna faint Tower: that's not good 😂

Hahaha yes really - SFO: the land of the easily ******-hurt controllers XD

Uhh, SFO, please take note of the professional controllers here.

@@markmaki4460well it is California…

Oh SFO, just can’t stop hating :(. JFK isn’t always nice to be fair though, luckily the ATC controller was not in a bad mood.

I love the man's honesty and clarity in saying that on frequency.

I was half expecting a hot air balloon to join the chat.

😂😂😂 missing the hot air balloon there.

🤣 I was scrolling down for this comment

Plot twist: ATC is an Airpanda99 fan.

I think someone would find themselves on the way to Teterboro if that happened.

had there ever been a situation where more than 2 emergencies were happening in the air? ive seen 2 before, but has 3+ ever happened?

​@@GreatCdn59sure, fog or other adverse conditions at a major often cause multiple bingo calls to stack up. Luckily that's generally going to be handled by center so not just one or two controllers.

I’m sure the controller wanted a Bloody Mary!

Sorry but a guy who is drunk and didn't even do any specific things isn't an emergency. That was 2 emergencies and an asshole

Training and practice as well as flight strips and computer screens.

I was thinking the same thing that it's wild they're all on ground, but I would say it's harder for ATC. Air emergency is harder on pilots but ground emergencies it's not like you can tell a plane to fly over another plane. Especially at JFK moving ground emergencies must be like those sliding tile puzzles.

@@xplayman on the other hand, air emergencies often require pilots to stop on the runway (or otherwise close it for debris or something) for an extended period of time. Plus once they are on the ground, they still have to taxi anyway. On the ground, they can take taxi instructions and just go. Other planes on intersecting taxiways can stop or get out of their way and let them taxi first, more easily than making pilots go around while on approach. Even if a pilot does need to stop in the middle of the taxiway, other emergency aircraft can use alternative taxiways to get around. There aren't always multiple suitable runways to use if the first emergency blocks the primary runway

@@spelldaddy5386 That's still supporting my point. Emergencies are harder for ground controllers than air controllers. Even in the case of a blocked runway the controller can tell me to fly runway heading and contact departure or fly the published missed approach and contact departure. And air controllers have holding options for me. On the ground there are no published ground procedures like STARs, SIDs, or approaches. So the ground controller has to figure out where room is available and then issue unique instructions to each aircraft involved in the move they're trying to make. Ground is hard. Your options are limited. Air is all about timing and if you screw up the timing you have options like speed change or vectors. When you have an air emergency everything moves out of the way and it's all on the pilot.

Why compare the two? This controller did a fantastic job that nobody in this comment section could ever do. No need to downplay how much easier it might be when it’s super difficult to begin with.

@@soche3455 Again, that's the point. The original comment said it was easier and I'm saying this situation is harder for the ground controller and he handled it well. No one told him there was an emergency incoming so he could prepare anything. He had 3 emergencies he had to factor on the spot. It's hard enough with one emergency in your face but 3 with the limitations you have on ground. Excellent job.

Thanks for your support!

Pulls up this video . . .

Lit

Once everything is over and the ground controller got relieved by the next guy and had a few minutes to settle down, I bet he was good. I think he probably thrives on the adrenaline rush and the ego boost from events like that. Not easy, but he can handle 3 emergencies at once like a boss and a true professional without being overwhelmed. His coworkers know it and respect him for it, and he's proud of himself for it and having their respect, and that's what matters.

Give me a happy drunk any day.

be probaby boarded in one of the later groups, when there are rarely overheads available near your seat once you finally board, so it was probably hard to remember
