Reagan Airport: self-service landings?

Two planes landed on their own late Tuesday night at Washington's Reagan Airport because there was no one in the air traffic control tower. Or else the person there was sleeping.

Even more alarming than the video of Snoop Dogg and my furry friend Rico
is the audio of two American Airline pilots chatting with each other about the fact that there was apparently no one home in the air traffic control tower at Reagan Washington National Airport early Wednesday morning.

Here’s the audio from Liveatc.net that the Washington Post put on its website this afternoon.


 

And here’s more information about what officials say did – and did not happen.

Sort of scary….
