Air Traffic Controller at Reagan National Airport Falling Asleep

This is the only video I've found with a person who understands the risks that were involved with what happened at Reagan National Airport.  No one was at risk on those planes that landed without tower assistance.  Perspective is what is needed here.  I agree wholeheartedly with the guy (Steve Wallace) in this video.  The controller that fell asleep should get suspended and his actions were dumb, but no one should fear flying because a couple of planes had to land at an "uncontrolled airport."  Thousands of planes take off and land everyday at uncontrolled airports.  Even busy airports.
