To anyone else jumping to conclusions:
First, please do not jump to conclusions.
Secondly, this incident was in Japan, not the US. Feelings about US ATC should not be a factor in this situation.
Third, wasn't there a recent runway collision (wing clipped a tail) in the US where the pilot was quick to blame ATC on the radio, but it turns out that pilot entered the runway without permission? (initial conclusions are often wrong)

- king_magic 3y agoJust to be clear I’m not calling out ATC specifically, as in the people who are controllers. Rather, the entire system of air traffic control. It seems to me if we end up in a situation where a pilot does something wrong in a sensitive area that can lead to a catastrophic outcome, we didn’t do a good job of controlling air traffic. Full stop. The system is amazingly safe but clearly there are pockets of very poor control/decision making around runway incursions or near misses around the runway.
