How in the world was this mailman from florida able to fly his guy row comenter through this gyrocopter through this highly restricted air space and land right on the lawn of the u. S. Capitol .

He actually had been planning this, quote, act of civil disobedience as he called it to bring attention to political corruption, specifically Campaign Finance reform.

And right now there is big chunks of debris, the big chunks of concrete right there on the side of the rail.

This all happened around 3 00 yesterday afternoon when a crane operator crashed into that pedestrian bridge. Marc Camden Line Service was suspended. So was metro at this particular spot. A section of the concrete bridge fell on to the tracks after it was struck by the boon of the crane. Its a very busy bridge. Reporter a lot of people cross here . A lot of people cross here.

Reporter metro says that there is no further collapse because of the section of the bridge that came down but no further expected of the bridge to break apart or anything like that. But as you heard, those people and the folks that live around here, the pedestrians are the ones who are out of luck because who knows when that section will eventually be fixed.
