Real Life Stories of Fantastic “You Have No Power Here” Moments

Have a Nice Flight

We had one plane that had an issue on takeoff and veered off the runway, it totaled the airplane but fortunately the pilot was not serious injured. I hopped in the airport car with one of the rampers and drove out to the plane with a radio to inform inbound planes to use the other runway.

On the way to the runway I called the airport manager and he made a phone call to officially close that runway. About 30 minutes later a metric ton of DPS officers showed up and immediately tried to close the whole airport, treating it like a giant crime scene.

As I was hopping in a plane, a cop said to me, “you aren’t going anywhere!” I looked to the airport manager and he said “have a nice flight!” You could see these cops fuming that they didn’t have the authority to close down an airport because one plane went off the runway. Story credit: Reddit
