You can come up with your own jokes, but this took place at KSFO at about 17:30. Everyone was arriving, and no one was departing....

That's one heck of a mess there! Hate to be last in line to land! I'd come up with a fuel emergency perhaps... :-)

This is what the radio transmission sounded like.
"Alaska 4821 cleared to land, American 2851 go around,
United 6912 go around, Southwest 1825 go around....."
I had to speed up the time rate because I was getting tired of waiting.

It looks like duplicate flightplans to me. Had the same thing happen and that's what the problem was

Add a green tinge to it and it would look like Iraq during the persian Gulf war of '91
