Setting: Phoenix International Airport (Fictional), Peak Holiday Travel, 4:30 PM Local Time
Weather: Thunderstorms 15 miles NE, Wind Shear Alerts, Visibility Reducing.
Runways: 09L/27R (Primary), 09R/27L (Secondary – Closed for Emergency Repairs), 18/36 (Crosswind – Active).
Staffing: One controller managing Tower + Ground, trainee assisting; Departure/Approach sectors combined.
Traffic Snapshot:
- Arrival Backlog: 12 aircraft in holding patterns (3 low-fuel alerts: Delta 321, UPS 905, Qantas 62).
- Departures: 18 flights queued on Taxiways A, C, and D. American 445 (AA445) engines running, awaiting takeoff clearance for 25 mins.
- Emergencies:
- United 762 (UA762): Medical emergency (passenger cardiac arrest), requesting priority landing.
- CargoJet 88 (CJ88): Hydraulic failure, declaring PAN-PAN, needs immediate Runway 36.
- VIP Flight: Air Force One (AF1) inbound for refueling, demanding slot in 20 mins.
- Weather Impact: Southwest 234 (WN234) aborts landing due to wind shear, go-around conflicts with FedEx 511 entering holding pattern.
- Runway Incursion: SkyWest 6701 (SKW6701) mistakenly lines up on 09L instead of 36; Emirates 412 (EK412) on short final requires urgent diversion.
Controller Actions & Communications:
-
Prioritization:
- To UA762: “United 762, Phoenix Tower. Cleared direct Runway 36, descend to 3,000 ft. Emergency vehicles standing by.”
- To CJ88: “CargoJet 88, wind 280 at 18 knots, cleared emergency landing Runway 36. Confirm gear down.”
-
Fuel Management:
- To Delta 321: “Delta 321, continue holding at Juliett. Expect clearance in 10 mins. Alternate standby: Tucson.”
- To Approach: “Phoenix Approach, prioritize Qantas 62. They’re next after FedEx 511’s go-around.”
-
Runway Reconfiguration:
- To Ground: “Switch all departures to Taxiway E for Runway 18. AA445, line up 18, hold short for arriving CJ88.”
-
Incident Resolution:
- To SKW6701: “SkyWest 6701, immediately vacate 09L! Turn right Taxiway Bravo. Emirates 412, climb to 5,000 ft, vectoring north for resequence.”
-
VIP Coordination:
- To AF1: “Air Force One, delay entry to airspace. Hold at FL210. Expect slot in 25 mins.”
-
Weather Mitigation:
- Broadcast: “All aircraft, Phoenix Tower. Expect holding due to weather. Updates every 10 mins.”
Stressors & Outcomes:
- Communication Overload: Multiple pilots querying delays; controller uses terse commands to manage frequency congestion.
- Equipment Issues: Radar display lagging; manual strip marking required. Trainee misroutes a departure, corrected swiftly.
- Outcome: CJ88 lands safely; UA762 medical team meets on arrival. AF1 delayed 35 mins. Two near-misses avoided. 90-min ground stop implemented post-peak to clear backlog.
Final Tally:
- 42 arrivals, 38 departures handled in 2 hours.
- 3 diversions, 1 emergency landing.
- Controller remark: “Need coffee and a 10th runway.”

I guess we can fire all ATC staff because deepmind says it can do it

Just look up the org chart of your local agency and spoof some emails?
Surprised they didn’t do something similar to
The Nauru Regional Processing Centre is an offshore Australian immigration detention facility in use from 2001 to 2008, from 2012 to 2019, and from September 2021. It is located on the South Pacific island nation of Nauru and run by the Government of Nauru.

Since 2003 to 14 July 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) has documented 878 cases of HPAI H5N1 infection in humans and 458 (52.16%) fatalities
That said, it’s very hard to assess the extent to which this would translate to a novel H5N1 variant with human to human transmission, let alone one with very high human to human transmission

Generally up to each judge individually
It’s possible the people bringing the matter would support an early date for thr injunction to end, because they consider the case open and shut and don’t need much time to prepare for a full hearing of issue

You said there are many examples of contradictory points. You’ve posted none when challenged.
1·6 days agoI think, unfortunately, REE mining is pretty far down the list of environmentally polluting extractive industries.
Not even using kids in the Congo to mine them.
Not every detailed, line by line explanation to a dozen things mentioned is “reddit-debate brain style debate” - but I guess go off with your thought terminating cliche. I can’t wait to tell Lenin he was a Reddit debate bro that needed to cool off on the polemics. I’d suggest you just copy paste the contradicting points, which should be easy because you say there are so many of them, but you clearly won’t at this point.
I don’t understand your stance either, like are you happy China has allowed for further opening up of the healthcare sector, albeit as you note only in certain cities with conditions etc?
Does it make sense to you to do more opening up of healthcare now, when China is stronger, richer and more secure than ever before?

What unsustainable ways of sourcing metals are you thinking about here?
So AI could be more sustainable this whole time? Interesting…
It’s not that unsustainable unless you believe the predicts that your microwave will be building it’s own LLM model every month by 2030
The electricity and water usage isn’t very high in general or compared to data centre usage more broadly (and is basically nothing compared to crypto)
Wait what?
