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....

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
