A couple months ago I was cleared to land on a closed runway. I asked the tower controller if he really meant the runway with the big flashing X on the threshold. He cleared me for the other runway.
In this case the it appears the tower tapes have already been released because there are quotes earlier in the thread of the tower clearing the aircraft of the correct runway.

I assume you're referencing my post (#501). That was just a sample of what the correct pilot-controller phraseology would have been for this scenario, not the actual transcript. Sorry for any confusion I caused.

That's what I thought. But I do have to say, I thought that the tower was there to ensure the safety of the flights and the responsibility of that was on them, and not the pilots.
