Tower controller goes ballistic!

[201er]

I’ve heard a fair amount of griping and chewing flying around NYC for many years, but this is on another level.

Well, damn!

That was "entertaining" for sure   People seemed north/south and left/right challenged; good thing nobody was stopped on the runway

No one seemed to be listening to him, no change in direction, no responses, I assume they edited those out?

What are the odds that multiple hamburgers showed up in the pattern at the same time? It sounded like there was a delay in his radar feed. He kept screaming at Reliant 379 (at Citation that likely had an ATP at the controls) to start the requested 360. The Pilot responded that they were half way through the 360. Controller’s response? “Turn harder”. 
 

I have seen lots of ATC sequencing hiccups over the years in all levels of airspace. I have been involved ATC sequencing Aircraft in the exact opposite order that seemed practical to me and it worked out just as I thought it would… with lots of low altitude, turns and extensions for spacing. What I have never heard is a controller come completely unhinged like this guy. He sounds like Bernie from The Incredibles…
