You can come up with your own jokes, but this took place at KSFO at about 17:30. Everyone was arriving, and no one was departing....

Whoa, that actually resembles real life activity at KSFO!! LOL Grin

It's pretty cool to see the activity over the bay at night. You can see planes stacked up 4-5 deep simultaneously on both 28L and 28R. And if you look to the east, you can see plenty of activity just across the bay in Oakland. Planes everywhere! But not QUITE that bad. Haha

This is what the radio transmission sounded like.

"Alaska 4821 cleared to land, American 2851 go around,
United 6912 go around, Southwest 1825 go around....."

I had to speed up the time rate because I was getting tired of waiting.

It looks like duplicate flightplans to me. Had the same thing happen and that's what the problem was
