London City Airport (LCY) announced this morning that it had achieved a world first in terms of air traffic control. Specifically, it has become the first major international airport where ATC is completely controlled on a remote basis. It has done so by constructing a new tower, which stands 50 meters (164 feet) tall.

Imagine it needs a system update at one point and the pilot on short final is like “oh…”.
