It was the controllers airport, he knew all the traffic [and
had probably practices an emergency turning the airport
around in their sim] and he decided what the best course of
action was, since he had the BIG PICTURE and the pilot was
stupid IMHO.


So when a pilot declares an emergency it is up to the controller to decide
on the best course of action? If it's the pilot that was stupid, in your
uninformed opinion, then why is it that it's the controller that was given
remedial training?
