Atlanta ATC: 'Tower to Iran Air 711 --You are cleared to land westbound on runway 9R.'

Pause...
Saudi Air: 'ATLANTA ATC - ATLANTA ATC'
Atlanta ATC: 'Go ahead Saudi Air 511.'
Saudi Air: 'YOU HAVE CLEARED BOTH OUR AIRCRAFT FOR THE SAME RUNWAY GOING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS! WE ARE ON A COLLISION COURSE!! INSTRUCTIONS, PLEASE.'
Atlanta ATC: 'Well bless your little hearts. And praise Jesus. Y'all be careful now and tell Allah 'hey' for us."
