I can also recall a mate in a 747 missing an aircraft by less than 10ft in Melbourne when another aircraft was towed across the runway in use.
I would respectfully disagree. Dublin ATC are as close to New York as it gets in Europe. Not exactly a surprise that they have some shared verbal heritage either!
