First. As it looks like potentially maybe one of those bomb disposal robots from Capitol Police or some other Law Enforcement jurisdiction sort of checking this thing out first and foremost. Tell me what you know. Hi brooke. I can tell you we were standing outside of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee meeting. This is where the iraqi Prime Minister is meeting with senators. This is over half an hour ago. We saw commotion begin. Several Police Officers running through the hallways speaking into their radios. We asked what was going on. They said we were told a helicopter of indeterminate size had landed on the west part of the capitol. Of course, this is highly unusual. This is restricted air space. You need special permission to fly in this area. They did not know why this person had landed an aircraft on the west front. So that was the commotion.

The capitol was locked down police racing through the halls in fear for the lives of hundreds of lawmakers. It was a oneman piloted copter and it landed near the spot where the Christmas Tree every year stands. The pilot had been reportedly flying for about 45 miles an hour. He was quickly arrested. But heres the thing. He had flown through restricted air space for hours undetected and unchallenged. And the big question tonight is how could this happen . How could a man fly into the teeth of the most heavily protected air space in the world and get away with it . The pilot, doug hughes is a florida postal worker. His mission he said was a peaceful protest, something he reportedly had been planning for years. I dont believe that the authorities are going to shoot down a 60yearold mailman in a flying bicycle. Well despite jokes from lawmakers they were un
