8 calls from SFO TWR telling them to go-around went unanswered.
Crew answered on the 9th call, after they were on the ground.
Hmmm, hard to figure this one out
One possible explanation is that once cleared to land @6 miles final, PM brought the GRND frequency up on com 1 standby, and inadvertently flipped the switch to GRND? After landing and seeing the red light from TWR, they realized the error and returned to TWR frequency?
One would assume they had 121.5 on com 2 and TWR would call on that frequency prior to firing up the light gun?
