21. I remember something similar some years ago...

A jetliner had been circling for some time, and was running out of fuel, and had indicated as much to the control tower. After the crash, the tower's defense of their NOT granting the jetliner priority status to land was that the crew (foreign) had never used the word "EMERGENCY" to describe their situation.

Jeebus, if running out of fuel doesn't constitute an emergency, then what the hell DOES?
