A florida man will appear in federal court later today to answer serious questions for landing his gyrocopter on the west lawn of the capitol. He flew right through the no fly zone. Supposedly some of the most restricted air space in the country which raises more concerns, really, than Campaign Finance reform which is what we understand he was after. For more on this, let go back to Nikki Burdine who is live from the capitol with a lot of reaction to this. Nikki . Reporter a lot of reaction and a lot of questions. 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 . Thats a question we still dont have the answer to but we do know this was politically motivated and turns out this was all planned well in advance. You can see doug hughes allegedly landing this gyrocopter right there on the lawn at the 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. Hughes said he wrote letters to every Single Member of congress and after he landed at the capitol, he planned to deliver them to those members of congress. Obviously that didnt happen but we spoke with a few witnesses yesterday who watched it all go down. We heard it go down. We werent sure what it was. Lots of sirens. I kept thinking where are all these crazy people coming from. It just is incredible that somebody would want to do that. Reporter who else knew about this plan . Perhaps even more disturbing we found out the secret service actually knew about doug hughes plan to fly that gyrocopter to the capitol lawn. In fact, they even interviewed him about a year ago. Why wasnt it stopped . We still dont have the answer to that question but we hope to learn more today as hughes is expected to be in court sometime today. Back to you in the studio.

Metro said they would open maybe after rush hour, maybe midday. Now theyre open just before 6 00. You can see and weve been seeing the trains coming through. And right now there is big chunks of debris, the big chunks of concrete right there on the side of the rail. So all those folks had to clean up that track and get those trains moving again this morning. 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. Very, very asked. A lot of us use the bridge for exercise, to get over to the lake. Reporter when you use it, what do you use it for . I just cross to the lake. I like going to the lake, yeah. 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.
