Also for pilots…it seemed like they declared an emergency by just saying they had an emergency, I’m curious why they didn’t say “mayday”?
I'd be shocked if you could count on more the one hand the amount of times pilots have actually used the word mayday during an emergency.

Is it more of a marine thing, where you’re actually making a distress call and requesting assistance?
In a case like this it seems like there’s not much that ATC can do to help them anyway, other than clearing a runway (which they couldn’t reach). Seems a bit different than a vessel calling for assistance. Not sure if I’m thinking about that correctly.
