Oops, someone messed up!
Golden towbar!
Someone said something wrong
bruh.
Could you du the Belarus grounding
Does this mean one ground controller needs a new job oder does he just need to attend some training course?
"theres absolutely no one behind you"
says the guy who told you there'd be no one in front of you.
And use of “absolutely” is him being not embarrassed, but pissed that this happened, so he’s using slight tone because he wants them to miraculously move and fix his problem.
Lovely funny comment. 🤣👍
Panik
true but at least this ATC did better than others where planes crash on runway
😹😹😹
Pilot: i need a tug
ATC: i need a hug
Most underrated comment. 😆😆😆
And I ordered a mug.
And everyone got a thug.
ATC distractrd during original instructions: getting a tug.
Someone about to pull the plug
Pilot says to the ATC 'I've got a number for you to copy'
2 pilots...says...
Best comment yet
Don't forget the "possible controller deviation"
@@buckbuchanan5849 Thanks :)
@@NochEinKamel Yep!
Surprised with all the other ideas that ATC didn’t recommend all the passengers get out and push
If it was RyanAir, they would've made them push to save time, then charged a "passenger interaction surcharge" and a "reboarding fee"
Should have called this guy:

@@ericbosken3114 The article says it was technicians and employees, not passengers. Having passengers do it would be problematic as they'd have to bring out one of those stair modules - you can't just hop out the door on a jet like that, you'd likely break a leg or something falling that far to the pavement.
@@Strahan740i the rumor was that they had used those roller stairs (most smaller airports here do not have jet bridges)
@@ericbosken3114 Ehhh the statement from detik itself said it was employees, that and look at the pic - I doubt many passengers travel in safety vests ;)
This is Delta Tug 2's moment to shine.
Rumor has it that just before retiring, Kennedy Steve cleared Delta Tug 2 to reposition all the way to Cincinnati!
hahaha seriously that had me laugh, thank you
@@GC-qe8vc lmfao hahahaha
That's rich, and Steve's been retired just long enough it sailed past a few
I can hear Kennedy Steve talking to a coffee cup saying a pretty grabbed DELTA TUG TWO !
You could hear him die a little inside at 40 seconds
It was at this moment he knew, he f'd up.
Surely you can't be serious.....
He really just said “I’m sorry, just standby”
He didn't die inside as much as those passengers having to wait around and possibly miss their connecting flights...
I'm honestly genuinely in sorry for that flight controller 😅 but we got a clear standoff 😎 well done 😎
Delta pilot: I can't taxi, there's a plane in my way
Envoy pilot: I can't taxi either, there's a plane in my way too
Southwest pilot: I'm ready to go anytime, I'll even take off from the taxiway if that would help
$20 says SW taxied by the standoff at C172 rotation speed
I see we are both in the same algorithm track.
I love this. Used to watch planes a lot at Portland intl and it was always fun to see how fast the Southwest Airlines pilots would go on the ground
hahaha lmao
"Ladies and gentlemen if you look to your right we have a bit of a showdown going on"
I can respect when ATC catches himself at 3:32 and clarifies when he realizes his choice of words could have been misinterpreted
Haha yep.
Even I at first thought he was being sassy. Funny how sometimes things come out differently than they’re intended to.
he put his reverses on that real fast hahaha
I think ATC was hoping one of them would just go ahead and use reverse. But both pilots were reluctant to do that.
An An-124 pilot would've been like: "Well I can just taxi around them if you don't mind me messing up your lawn a bit".
@@suzukirider9030 LOL!
Respect for the pilots for not risking a tight turn that could cause even more trouble and/or damage. At such an important position being able to say "no" firmly yet calmly is an essential skill.
Thought the same thing. Even after the first "no", they then got back with "they're advising that there's plenty of room", and the pilot stood their ground. Some minutes later when the vehicle got there they confirmed the pilot's perception of no room for a right turn.
@@mateusbmedeiros I always tell pilots I marshalled that if they feel uncomfortable and need a wing checked to stop and make me check it, it's way better to waste twenty seconds of my time than to take the nose off another airplane of get stuck in the dirt.
Totally what I thought. Don't give in to peer pressure.
Wasn't the idea to use the reverse thrust to go back and then turn right?
@@mateusbmedeiros Like I said in another comment it’s a good thing because the tower’s perception was not exactly great that day!!! XD
Everyone telling Envoy he had plenty of room to make the turn until finally the ops vehicle tells him he doesn’t have enough room, good on them for sticking up for themselves and not doing something they weren’t comfortable with
The controller is all "I get could get a bus through that gap"
Unfortunately the pilot had to get an aircraft through it.
@@cmotdibbler4454 there's a difference between bus and airbus...
@@ishanagrawal753 That wasn't an airbus either.
He literally said there’s too much room to go backwards what in the world does that mean lol
I can't like it's 420
Perfect example of an honest mistake. All it cost was time, a bit of fuel, and some humble humiliation.
No one got mad. No one yelled. Good way to handle the situation
Humanity prevails.
The pilots are getting paid by the hour so they're in no rush 😁
@@Trevor-gu8bb There's no rush due to pay. But, I've seen several videos where something more trivial than this happens and either the pilot or atc goes ape. There's no need for it. If no one died, just deal with it and move on
But it can still cost in missed connections and other penalties
@@PrivateMarcus I'll take financial loss over loss of life or loss of cool any day
“No more games of chicken with the planes today John” -his coworkers everyday for the rest of his career
hopefully its not: "no more planes for you... its all chickens my boy!"
The animation is similar to when you run into your ex girlfriend at the bar.
And you need a friend to pull you out if the situation (the tug)
Made more awkward by the guy on the roof, watching with binoculars, repeating "standby" into a megaphone
lol.. best comment ever.
I assume the ex was with the guy with the bigger cockpit.
@@patrickinottawa27 when you find out your girl been talking to ATC when you're out of town...
I love how nobody is trusting the tower to know if they have enough room, after this!!! XD
Indeed. :-)
I think the tower talked about the plane having room to go back, not to turn right from the position it was in.
@@janiselmeris5705 Either way, no one was trusting the tower to know if they could do it!! 🤣 BTW, are you from Lithuania or Latvia?
@@nerysghemor5781 Well, that's understandable, yes. :) Latvia.
@@janiselmeris5705 Cool, looks like my “language sense” is working well! XD But seriously, do be careful, with all that crazy stuff happening across the border in Belarus!
This controller had become the proud recipient of the famous Golden Towbar Award!
wow, it's real
To his head, if those pilots are nearby.
Happens roughly once or twice a year at most major airports from talking to my ATC friends. Kind of like the pilots doing their pre-flight cabin introduction over ground radio.
That really was a “taxiway tango”.
Lol, underrated
All they needed was an Air Canada flight having to go-around after trying to land on the taxiway, having set their radios to the wrong frequency so they couldn't acknowledge ATC 😂😂😂
When the guy said “I don’t know what your waiting on” then immediately starts fumbling for a semblance of an apology because he realized how it sounded.
That’s happened to me a couple times.
When you say something aloud and immediately realize what you just said is probably the worst way to phrase it
that was a bit WTF kind of moment.
Much better than when you realize an hour later.
how would it be mis-interpreted .. sorry .. and thanks🤥 okay i think another comment gave me the answer.. (waiting on the vehicle underneath him?)
@@MarcDufresneosorusrex Because it sounded like he was saying "Why aren't you doing anything?" when what he meant was "Is everything ok? You haven't started moving yet..."
Too many great lines come to mind:
“It takes two to Tango”
“My tug is faster than your tug”
Thank god you never said "tug me off" 😁
I tend not to boast. about my fast tug
@@Techy111 a wasted opportunity for some comedy on the radio :(
Fortunately it wasn't Delta tug 2 as he is still waiting for clearance.
"Got a stand off at T" 😂
I lost my shit at that comment lmaooo
"I don't have room to turn."
"Ops says you do."
"Okay send ops out to eyeball it for us so we can make the turn."
Ops guy on-site: "He doesn't have room to turn."
*Both planes looking right at each other with nowhere else to go* "Well this is awkward!! We have reached an impasse" lol
yep...or a stand-off between 2 different planes
Aww, i was looking forward to the thrust reversers...
big air craft goes: beep beep beepp
C-17s do it, but they have a loadmaster watching out the back for them
They realized company wouldn't be too happy with that little maneuver lol
Yea probably not safe because FOD from the ground or compressor stall due to low speed
😅😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Got to do that on a NWA DC9 once. Icy morning in AZO and the tug couldn't get traction on the ramp. Powered pushback and were good to go.
Good job on the pilots for saying "NO" and standing their ground when the controller was like "Nah man you got this just try a 180"
other risk would have been crash right into each other
They certainly know the aircraft's they're rated for better than the controller does. Plus those things are expensive. You clip a wing, you might lose your job, and I'm sure they'd all like to stay employed.
If you can get the atc discussion and interception with the Ryanair flight highjacked to Minsk, you truly are the best!
came here to ask for that as well
That would be good....
Well, technically it's not a "hijacking". Not with a fighter escort. It needs a new term.
@@e.l.norton kidnapping?
@@LeifNelandDk Extreme "interpretation" of ICAO 3bis (b), for full details ask one Mr Assange!
I thought the thumbnail said "Will need a hug..." lol
ATC will after this one lol!
So funny me too!
Same lol
Well, a tug gives a hug to an aircraft's nose wheel, is supportive and takes it into places it can't go on its own...
That's what we're all thinking of first during this pandemic... 😅
I'd love to be the Envoy pilot if he'd fired up the reversers, ingested FOD and wrecked an engine trying to bail ATC out.
I too was wondering about that. I wonder if he actually hit the RT or if he thought about it and said "this is ATC's problem, not mine" and pretended to hit them.
For those of us with little to no knowledge about aviation can you explain the potential damage that could be caused by reversing?
@@catguy00 Thrust reverse redirects the normal thrust forward instead of rearward, but that's not the issue. The engine is still sucking in tons of air from in front of the plane, and everything on the ground in front of the plane, into the engine. Reverse thrust is used on landing on a "clean" runway to help slow the airplane (in addition to brakes and lift-spoiling devices), but using reverse thrust is discontinued at (typically) 60 knots--about the time the airplane is ready to exit the runway onto a taxiway. TL;DR--using enough reverse thrust to move a loaded airplane backwards on a taxiway is a needlessly dumb thing to do--especially when your need for doing so isn't your fault, or your reasons for doing so is to be "super helpful."
Boy Scout Regional pilot trying to help out mainline Delta crew--who would never return the favor, let alone return a wave or a friendly nod in the terminal. Reverse on a taxiway: dumb, dumb, dumb offer to make.
@@catguy00 to oversimplify Adams answer: The thrust of the engine is quite powerful and can kick up rocks and stuff. When using reversers those rocks and stuff are being pushed forward passed the engine intake where it can be sucked into the engine
Working Ops at CVG last year I can tell you this controller is awesome and was always a great time to chat with but, even the best of us make mistakes.
Good to hear that this guy has a good reputation. Hope this won't hurt his career too much; if this is the worst mistake he makes all year, he'll be doing well in my book.
@@jayschafer1760 it won't hurt his career at all. Everyone makes mistakes. Any controller or pilot that says they don't is a liar.
That's good, because this was some major cringe.
did he keep his job?
@@jayschafer1760 Yeah not a major mistake. For sure they'll sit down and talk about a preventative action plan but the punitive action will probably come in the form or being the butt of some jokes for a bit.
So the Delta tug thinks they can get out there faster than the Envoy tug, huh? Sounds like a good ol' fashioned tug-off to me! Wait...
The Delta plane, depending on the model, might be able to get a tug underneath the plane, or around it without impacting the wings. It’s mainline.
@@AEMoreira81 Congratulations, you've missed the joke
PHRASING!
I'd say it was a tug of war.
Aaand it's at 69 likes, not gonna touch that.
"possible controller deviation imma need you to copy a number down whenever you're ready"
At 3:32 the ground controller had a bit of attitude and on his next sentence he stutters because he realized that he was a bit rude 😂
100%
I believe he just wants this "nightmare" to go away!, a highly embarrassing moment that will be the butt end joke, for many coffee room days to come!
@@rubenvillanueva8635
Well, probably for nights to come. He’s grave yard shift for a long time coming.
From the way he was talking, I think he was genuinely asking what they were waiting for, but then realized it could sound sort of sarcastic and rude.
@@TonboIV Yeah you could hear the panic in his next transmission as he realized how it sounded compared to what he meant
Pilot: Got a standoff at Tango.
Tower: Nope, clear to taxi, first one that chickens out loses ramp clearance.
it's hard to taxi until a tug comes for the plane and get it out of the way
Awwwwww, you can hear the controller dying inside. That poor soul.
That is such an embarrassing occurrence!
Kudos to everyone for reacting calmly and professionally.
No name calling. No finger-pointing. No complaining.
And once again, despite the screw up and back and forth, I am blown away by the calmness and proffesionalism of pilots and controllers. The rest of the working world could take a lot of good notes from the aviation industry.
On a side note, could have saved a lot of time if they sent a wing walker WITH the tug.
Once in a while, we all mess up. Fairly quick resolution. Shit happens. Life goes on.
Nice! I like your perception of things. Your kinda remind me of James Asquith YT videos...check him out...I am certain you will enjoy his videos.
@@rosem7568 stop self promoting your main channel lol
In my dreams I'm hearing the Kennedy Steve version of this and rolling on the floor from laughter
That would be such a gift to the world, wouldn't it?
Worthy of innumerable replays🤗
0:35 someone is in a mood 😂
0:40 - It was at this moment the controller knew… he f--d up
I'm surprised that the controller asked them about thrust reversers. As I understand it, many jets and airlines have policies/procedures that preclude them from using reversers below a certain speed (e.g. anything other than slowing down after landing) due to the risks of debris getting sucked into the engines.
It use a lot of gas to reverse a plane from a standstill,
If you ask the question then you find out if it’s an option or not.
The controller doesn't care the only people who get in trouble would be the pilots but yea They aren't allowed to use the reversers
I'm just watching videos, but I did see a vortex coming into an engine from the pavement once - debris looks very possible.
I was going to mention that as well. Definitely not a great idea to use reverse thrust for slow speed maneuvering. It is especially an issue for wing mounted engines. I am assuming Envoy was a 175.
Hey Victor, I was curious if you are going to do a video of what occurred with the Ryanair flight that was forced to land in Belarus? The ATC has got to be interesting and shocking!! Thank you!
Yes, and if there's any way to get internal phone conversations from Ryanair too... (Irish people sound funny anyway, but imagine the language they're using in those phone conversations when they heard what happened! I naturally mean when they heard that they had to waste all that extra fuel...)
Seconding this. It's probably the most significant aviation incident right now, despite it being a political thing.
@@aronakbiyikian2577 agree completely!!! Thank you for seconding this!
@@jessicapope6977 ;) any time

This was the most entertaining non-movement video ive ever seen. Tarantino-style stand off dialogue.
Planes are like dogs. You want them sniffing butts, not facing off.
This...this is deep lol
But planes need to socially distance while sniffing airplane butt
You got your dogs for different reasons than I did, buddy... Is there a certain breed for that?
Kinda feel bad for that controller. He won't live that down for a while.
Ten hours later......Seriously, controller knew he did wrong but still held it together to try and get this fixed. We're all human and make mistakes. I know that I could never be an ATC. I think ATC was judged to be the most stressful job.
true that

"I can verify that from the tower" yeah most reassuring...
Trust me, I know what I am doing...
Yikes!! Someone in Ground had a brain-fart... The controller must have felt horrible.... excellent professionalism by the pilots.
My exact thoughts as well. If you found this video interesting, I bet you will enjoy James Asquith YT videos as I did. Check him out!
Imagine they sent out a tug right when Delta asked lol
Good thing the little plane's pilot was confident enough to tell the tower that he was not comfortable moving w/o people on the ground despite ATCs reassurance that everything is clear, when in reality the guy on the ground confirmed there is no space.
Normally traffic control sounds so robot like, but the moment the guy messed up it felt so relatable
This reminds me of the last AFP95 video lol
Same
damn, just imagie APF95 would've been a commenting ATC on this: "yeah... to all planes... stand-off at tango! reverse thrusters ready, but who ever is rolling backwards first is a loser! ... ok, now delta is just leaving the taxiway over the grass directly on the runway ... yeah, delta just collided with a hot air balloon making mach 2 five feet over ground ... we have a major accident, pilots in the air advised to land only on the last 3rd of the runway"
I see we have men of culture in here.
This could have been prevented if the engines had the ability to rotate 90 degrees and allow for a vertical take off.
And that boys and girls, is how Little Johnny in the tower got the nickname "Wrong Way".
Maybe "Head-On" would be a good nickname, too. Dunno.
The guy who parks next to me on the ramp is ex USAF and has his call sign "Wrong Way" on his 172 hah.
Lmao I work on the ramp here that would have been hilarious to see if I was there.

One night years ago at JFK my captain stopped the taxi, and I asked why. He said “If we go past this intersection then we’ll be trapped by that A340.” Then I realized that he was a real man of genius.
Fun facts about Greater Cincinnati International Airport:
1) It’s not even in Ohio, let alone Cincinnati. It’s initialism CVG comes from Covington, Kentucky, which is approximately five miles east-northeast of the airport. If named today, it’s abbreviation would like be based off of the city of Hebron - possibly HEB, although that sign is taken by a regional airport in Burma.
2) It is run by the Kenton County Airport Board, even though the airport lies entirely with Boone County (does border Kenton County)
3) CVG is DHL’s largest cargo hub globally.
4) Canadian folk singer Stan Rogers died in a cabin fire incident which required his plane land at CVG. Though the majority of passengers died, some passengers and all crew survived.
5) Every time I fly through CVG it takes no more than thirty minutes from the time I walk through the door until my butt is in my seat by my gate. Incredibly smooth operation.
I'm shocked at how well those pilots took it. Everyone screws up at some point. Any controller or pilot claiming they never make mistakes isn't being honest.
Imagine fucking up once and your mistake is immortalized here, lol
Thank god nobody was recording my first controlled approach
The internet might find it, eventually...
...we must find it
Hahaha
You can tell the controller felt bad and realised he messed up. I'm glad the pilots didn't give him a hard time.
Envoy: you turn
Delta: no you
Gnd: aah fu*k
Aww, s***, here we go again.
Well that controller won’t make that mistake a second time.
Glad to see my picture made it! Glad I was there to see this happen!
Mistakes will always happen, the ATC has a difficult job. But man the feeling of inconveniencing several hundreds of people at once must suck hard.
lol, CVG is a busy airport too. His buddies must've roasted him hard that night after work.
And probably will be for a long time
Unfortunately not nearly as busy as it once was, and it is a nice airport. There is an abandoned concourse with over 90 gates sitting in the middle of the field that used to hub all the Comair flights. We have picked up some business in recent years, and freight is doing well, but the Delta/NW merger took CVG from 3 concourses down to one not completely filled.
@@lisanadinebaker5179 I remember flying in and out of there and taking the bus to that terminal.
@@lisanadinebaker5179 Thank you. I was just going on all the big cargo I see going there on FlightRadar
@@lisanadinebaker5179 that concourse and the two original terminals have all been torn down. Only the newest terminal and 2 concourses are left.
Even making the suggestion of doing a power-back with no marshallers watching is pretty crazy. Pilots should've said "hell no" to that.
Scrolling fast thru the comments and misread this as "...Doing a power-back with no marshmallows watching..." Gave myself a good laugh😆
Not to mention the taxiway debris it is going to kick up and feed into the engines...
I'd love to hear the pilot announcement to the passengers about this one...
That is why as an ATC the way you speak is SUPER important.
i love these peaceful co-op solutions.
this is awesome
God this feels like my trucking days. "You got plenty of room to get into there driver!" Armchair dispatchers telling you what you're able to do.
Well - a mistake that was handled in a professional manor. No cursing or D1ck swinging just pilots who took care of business. I like it.
Plot twist: Envoy 4078's pilot snatched a parking spot from in front of the controller's nose that morning. This was payback.
Great to see how both pilots co-operated so well and did not pour scorn on the controller for making a blunder.....well done
Mistakes happen... this certainly wasn't a life-threatening error... nice to see everyone maintained a respectful demeanor
Gnd should've commissioned the tug at the very first moment. Sending a wing-walker was a waste of time.
I think they did. And were waiting to hear back while exploring other options.
Or a wing walker in a tug.
2:59
correction: "any ways you perform" should be "any way, shape, or form"
Indeed, but auto translators are not infallible and those phrases can be almost identical in some accents, particularly Irish.
You missed the golden opportunity to insert a Spongebob "ten... minutes... laterrrr" slide in there!
Back in the '90's, Northwest's (now part of Delta) standard pushback from the gate in Memphis was thrust reversers. I think I also saw them do that in Minneapolis as well, but I'm not sure.
I think the policy is stop your pushback until the other plane departs
Delta used to do powered pushbacks from the gate when they were flying the MD88s. The plane has tail-mounted engines so they were higher off the ground and used eyelid-style reversers which seem to reverse almost all of the thrust from the engines. Even then, I think they only did this when they were parked at the end gates which have more space around them.
We got a standoff at Tango.
I was just waiting for one of the pilots to start playing the Jeopardy music or the Wild West shootout music over the radio. Thank goodness they were professional about it.
Dang, as a Cincinnatian I'm quite disappointed I wasn't at the viewing area for this!
0:28 OH! YOU'RE APPROACHING ME! INSTEAD OF RUNNING AWAY YOU'RE COMING RIGHT TO ME!
Other plane : I cant headbutt you without coming closer.
-You gonna ask whats is this. This is a something gamers called "Meme". It was on anime called "JoJo Blizzare advantures season 3." The first one plane reference guy was "Dio" and "other plane" guy is named "Jotaro" . This is a reference from that anime.
Bloody hell ATC just send the tugs, more you spend time trying to get a magical answer, the more you screwing up the taxi ways and your self.
Next time I have a bad day...I'll remember ground.
When I have a bad day, I remind myself of the famous and very good surgeon who performed one surgery where he caused a 300% mortality rate (not a typo - source: www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2012/10/time-me-gentlemen-the-fastest-surgeon-of-the-19th-century/264065/ ).
Puts my screwups into context for sure.
I’m surprised they’re even approved to use reversers to push the aircraft back. Most companies including mine prohibit such use.
Probably not, just an off the cuff suggestion
Tower: My bad!
Pilots: We got a number for you.
Just noticed at 2:58 CVG GND says "any way shape or form" but the caption says "any ways you perform." First time noticing a slight error for you, which is impressive as often as you wind up posting! Much respect VASA. 🤘🏻
Awwww cmon you can throw the reverses on!
Wait, too much room to go backwards? What does that meanv
@@Ryan-719 Good question.
Also they would burn fuel if they set the reversers
@@Ryan-719 he's saying it's too big of a distance for him to reverse thrust all the way to get behind the intersection again
@@photoballa oh! Didn’t think that would be a thing I guess? If tower snd ramp control can see him. Oh well!
as reverse thrust is highly inefficient, fuel costly and has so little power.
"Well boys, it was a good run here at the tower. See you when I see you. Bye"
Hahhahahaha your sense of humour reminds me of James Asquith YT videos...check them out!
I can just hear the conversation on the ramp breakroom...
"anybody available to move a plane on the taxiway that is somehow stuck" ...
everybody "we are having lunch right now, but we can do it for Overtime"
sups ... well just go then...
LGB GND put me in a similar situation, nose to nose with a cargo 767. We didnt say anything and waited for GND to notice, about two long minutes. I was able to turn around since I was in a Cessna.
0:57 the sigh and resignation in the ATC voice - priceless
Someone got a call.
Woops! The rare mistake! Glad everyone stayed calm and worked the problem.
I used to have this atc game on my psp, and this has happened more than id like to admit

Detroit's own "Rockin' Robert" Seger!
This happened at CVG recently? For some reason it's a little more amusing knowing it's right across the river from me.
I've seen this happen at KFWA. It had been raining a lot so to get a tug around the aircraft they had to run out and purchase sheets of plywood to lay down in the grass off the taxiway so the tug could drive around the aircraft, total time to undo the nose to nose situation 6 hours. The cargo company awarded the two controllers a golden towbar award which the rest of controllers to thoroughly harass the two offenders.
