Air Traffic Controllers vs. Airline Pilots

If you're a regular reader of this blog, you might have seen me talking about what I like to call the "YouTube Vortex" in which a person goes to YouTube for specific reason, and then the clicking starts and suddenly you've got from an Imagine Dragon's music video to a tour of a doomsday bunker in New Mexico and you have no clue how you ended up there!

A while ago, I was headed down the VORTEX one night and somehow I stumbled upon a video of a radio recording of Airline Pilots arguing with Air Traffic Controllers. As I clicked around, it turned out there are about a zillion of these videos and they're really popular....and can be entertaining. Some of the audio are emergencies, but others are pilots and ATC being silly, or someone having a bad day and taking it out on their counterparts. The part I find most interesting is they speak in an entirely different language.

Watch this, but beware, you might end up clicking a bunch of these and that work report you're working on might night get done!
