LOL, I can imagine the ATCs acting something like the Buddy Hackett/Mickey Rooney landing sequence from "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World".

I wonder if one of them ended up hanging out the side of the tower wrapped in and dangling from a mic cord.

Somehow I have a vision of Andy Griffith spitting into the back of a radio, whacking it, then saying into the mic "Hellloooo"...

My mother was driving in Las Vegas when she had some sort of short-term stroke. She said it was like all the lights went out. She knew she was in the right lane, so she just slowed and gradually pulled to the side until she touched the curb. Just as she came to a stop, the lights came on again, and she went home and called her doctor. Scary.
