There is no excuse for that controller's behaviour. Simple instructions, spoken clearly and slowly like "Hold present posiition. Await further clearance" would have bought him time to send in a Follow Me car. But no. He played the big shouty man.

And while we are here, the Sky News article was a bit 'fact lite'. Such as were all of these miscommunications with pilots with English as an additional language? Probably not. But don't let the facts get in the way of a consultant on a government contract. There's some serious milking and CV building to be done here.
