Tower at Reagan National goes silent as planes attempt to land | Washington Post - http://www.washingtonpost.com/local...
“An American Airlines Boeing 737 flying in from Miami with 97 on board aborted its landing and circled the airport after getting no response from the tower at midnight. Minutes later a United Airlines Airbus 320 flying in from Chicago with 68 passengers and crew also received no answer from the tower.” - Anthony Citrano
