In article , says...



The captain of the flight, which landed at 12.40am on Saturday, reportedly
told his passengers that he had "never encountered anything like it" in
all
the years he had been flying.............................



Well, apparently he was not used to flying into Milan, Italy where ATC
staff
received work suspensions two years ago when it was found that the entire
staff
was outside playing soccer, leaving the Linate tower unattended!


In Milan football is serious stuff.
