Low fuel emergency in DFW

sarcasm. You are the one that said it was simple to clear
all the other airplanes out of the way. It just isn't
possible in less than a certain amount of time ...

That amount of time can be extremely short with good controllers and good
pilots. In no time a path can be cleared for the flight in trouble.

... yet you can
clear one airplane out of line and fit the airplane with the
emergency in line.

You don't do any of that. The plane with the emergency tells you his
intentions, and you work with that. You don't "fit" the airplane anywhere,
you just deal with whatever the airplane needs to do. In practice, this means
getting everyone else out of the way.
