ATOOC: Total Electrical Failure

In this episode of Air Traffic Out Of Control, we hear several situations where pilots were forced to abort and change plans at the last minute at the instruction of the tower. This request can often be due to congestion on the runways or a last minute change of plans from the controller, but as you can hear in this episode, an abort call can also be for many other reasons.
