Those southern Texas boys have a way with words....
Dallas Air Traffic Control: "Tower to Saudi Air 910--You are cleared to land eastbound on runway 9R."
Saudi Air reply: "Thank you Dallas ATC. Acknowledge cleared to land on infidel's runway 9R -Allah be Praised
!!"
A moment later...
Dallas Air Traffic Control: "Tower to Iran Air 171--You are cleared to land westbound on runway 9R."
Iran Air reply: "Thank you Dallas ATC. We are cleared to land on infidel's runway 9R. -Allah is Great !!"
Pause: ......
then suddenly!!!
Iran Air: "DALLAS ATC! DALLAS ATC!!!"
Dallas ATC: "Go ahead Iran Air 171?"
Iran Air: "YOU HAVE CLEARED BOTH OUR AIRCRAFT FOR THE SAME RUNWAY GOING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS!!! WE ARE ON A COLLISION COURSE!!! WE ARE ABOUT TO HIT!!!! INSTRUCTIONS PLEASE!!!
Dallas ATC: "Well bless your little hearts. Y'all be careful now and tell Allah 'hey' for us -- ya hear?."
