A local (for me) story that is a little concerning because there is only one are-traffic controller on duty between midnight and 0600 at Reagan.

KDCA is not the easiest ariport for landings especially from the north because there us so much restricted air space on that approach and aircraft have to make a sharp 45 degree turn at low altitude right before the threshold for runway 19. Try it in FS.

It has been reported that the controller in question admitted to falling asleep.
