you shoot him down? at the time i think there was, you know average people would be in harm s way that a lot of people could get hurt. what s the answer? well, first of all, you got to be able to detect it. they ve deployed technology down on our southwest border so that the border patrol can deal with the gyro copters and ultralights and the other small aircraft. he left from gettysburg which isn t that far away. we could have tracked that fairly quickly. what they were saying is he essentially flew under the radar because he was about 150 100 to 150 feet above the ground moving slow and what the faa and norad told us he essentially looks like a flock of birds or maybe, you know, a weather pattern gone awry. but there is other technology out there. they just haven t fully yet deployed it. do you think that we re just afraid to pull the trigger or afraid of the ramifications of someone who jumps the white house fence or lands one of these devices on the white house lawn that
had they used the word gyrocopter, i wouldn t know what it would mean. the initial reaction, what s a gyro copter, i knew that is my reaction. i had in idea there was such a thing until one plopped down outside the capitol. they are awesome. james bond flew a tricked out version in 1967 s you only live twice. amelia ahhart flew one. and there was a low ego on the gyro copters, they are used forregular mail delivery in parts of the country until the 1940s. yesterday was not even the only time a gyrocopter made an appearance on capitol hill. get this.
my first reaction is what s a gyrocopter. i had to see an image of it. oh yeah that is a gyrocopter. had they used the word gyrocopter, i wouldn t know what it would mean. the initial reaction what s a gyro copter i knew that is my reaction. i had in idea there was such a thing until one plopped down outside the capitol. they are awesome. james bond flew a tricked out version in 1967 s you only live twice. amelia amelia ahhart flew one. and there was a low ego on the gyro copters, they are used forregular mail delivery in
higher. at that altitude it s out of reach of most radar detection. a clear vulnerability. i ve said that a number of times that it would be pretty simple to take a home-built aircraft down the river, make a left turn over the lincoln memorial and fly it up the mall. it wouldn t be the first time it s been done. reporter: in january, a drone crashed on to the white house lawn and in 1994 a small cessna flying low and out of radar s reach came down outside the white house. no one tried to stop that one either. it would be relatively simple to create a scenario where you could launch ten gyro copters from ten different airports an hour way from downtown d.c. and fly them at the same time way nasty mission. well the argument is hypersensitive radars would trigger countless false alarms detecting things like birds, but one expert said integration of other sensors like noise
the airflow. that provides some lift. basically they are wings. they are just wings that spin. somebody is flying one of those gyro copters, landed on the capitol lawn, whether it was a stunt, act of vandalism or maybe he ran out of fuel. that s what causes most aircraft aviation accidents is fuel starvation. we ll see. the capitol police no doubt have this guy under arrest. they ll be talking to him and we ll bring you new updates. former nfl star aaron hernandez convicted of first degree murder sentenced to life in prison without any possibility of parole in the death of oden lloyd back in 2013. his legal troubles aren t over yet. he faces two pending murder charges in boston and a civil lawsuit for oden s death. what happens next? tom let s start with you.
