Ignoring the the sarcastic comments, and somewhat puzzled by why the
tower would be abandoned, I'm curious what prevented the flight from
landing.


It wasn't abandoned. It's a part-time tower that closes at midnight.
Southwest was running late.

Duh. That's what I figured at first and looked it up in Airnav. I saw
"Attendance:*CONTINUOUS" and my took that to mean the tower never closes,
which of course is wrong. Never mind.
