An American Airlines captain declares a fuel emergency, and doesn’t receive the priority that he needs.

ABC News Story.

The first unforgivable part is that Air Traffic Control wouldn’t give the captain what he asked. The second unforgivable part is the captain not reasserting what he needed to do. Perhaps the captain should have “told” instead of asking.
