Not at all true. If ATC's perspective is that a 767 on short final for
runway 35 will not be able Go Around or Clear the Runway with out
creating a collision hazard with the Emergency aircraft landing runway
17, then ATC has every right to deny the pilot runway 17.


Impossible scenario.



If runway 17 was the pilots only option then he need to let ATC know
that.


He did.



The Pilot had every right to request it.


Correct.


ATC had every right to deny it. (in this case it ended here)


Absolutely incorrect. FAAO 7110.65 tells an aircraft with an emergency has
priority over all other aircraft.
