You might as well worry about someone going out on the runway and digging a 50 foot by 50 foot hole in the middle of it
snort!

con, i think you may be beating your head against a wall on this one. Despite SM's own post, which included this:

The approach controller and the TRACON supervisor on duty made several attempts to contact the tower controller via telephone, but were unable to establish contact. The TRACON approach controller advised the crew of American flight 1012 that the tower was apparently unattended, and that the flight would be handled as an arrival to an uncontrolled airport.
Controlled/uncontrolled looks like an alien concept to some, or that some controlled airports go uncontrolled at certain times, and dont even start on pilot controlled lighting !
