'Just joking': Federal Aviation Administration investigating air-traffic controller's tower joke - Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport

ATLANTA (CBS46) -

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating a potentially dangerous prank an air-traffic controller played on a pilot.

Delta Flight 630, loaded with passengers from Japan, was about to land at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport on Wednesday afternoon when an unnamed controller told the pilot not to.

The controller immediately said he was 'Just joking', but the pilot had already aborted his landing and could not resume the touchdown.

A spokeswoman for the FAA said the plane landed safely on the second approach and the agency is investigating the incident.
