Default Low fuel emergency in DFW

From what I remember that took a couple of hours before eveyone was on the
ground.

Sure, and ATC can make those other airplane instantly become ghosts, not
take any volume or be physically manifest in the air.
ATC can simply broadcast a command, "ALL aircraft, there is an emergency
in progress at DFW, all aircraft fly away, maintain VFR and good luck!"


Jim, you are demonstrating a profound lack of understanding of how the ATC
system works. Look how fast they cleared the skies after 9/11. And that
was the entire country, not just the 30 miles around DFW.
