Another Air Canada Incident at SFO
Air Canada 781 was on final for SFO and the tower told him to go around at least 5 times and they still landed. https://soundcloud.com/user-771239359/oct-23-2017-0400z (www.airliners.net) Más...Ce mort pour la guerre

Need to hear the full story before I pass judgment
I don't know what happened with ACA781's radios. I haven't heard or read a thing. Nothing has been reported. What happens in US airports, due to congestion, is they clear multiple aircraft to land on the same runway before any have touched down, while also clear aircraft to takeoff from the same runway and taxi aircraft across the same active. A zoo.
Most soundly managed airports with parallel runways dedicate one for outbound and the other for inbound. On this radio clip, the SFO Twr clears two inbound aircraft to land on 28R, ACA781 and UAL502. This rarely happens outside the US, for many good reasons.
There was no danger to ACA781. Whatever issue prompted the Twr to instruct a go around, like some aircraft wasn't where should've been, turned out to be a non-factor. Some people speculate that an AC pilot flipped the channel. Maybe. But the fact is, when a Twr issues a landing clearance, the Twr better be damn certain the runway is clear. In the US, due to too many aircraft, this doesn't happen. US Twr ATC landing clearances aren't any assured guarantee.
Maybe the ACA crew messed up, maybe they didn't. What's for certain is US airspace is a crap shoot.
