Default Low fuel emergency in DFW

So if the pilot chose to land on R17 and crashed into a fully laden 747
that couldnt be moved in time, and 600 people died, are you saying the
pilot
was in his rights to ignore ATC telling him not to land? ATC have to take
into account the safety of all aircraft in their control, and if they had
to
balance the risk of one aircraft versus another , surely they have to err
in
favour of the aircraft who has done nothing wrong. The pilot has a duty
of
care to other people apart from his own aircraft and pax.

Was there a fully laden 747 on the runway that couldn't be moved in time?
