Oh, the horror! Imagine having to land an aircraft without a controller to give permission and stop someone else taking the runway. Perhaps the commentator doesn't know how CTAF works at uncontrolled airports or when tower closes.

A problem that needs to be addressed, for sure, but yeah, way over-dramatized commentary. I love the stock footage used, busy Heathrow-level string of landing lights on final approach, but the airports mentioned are pretty sleepy Class C fields at 3 a.m.
