athena jones, thank you so much. while this incident may have caught u.s. capitol police and bystanders off guard, there was one witness ready and waiting for the aircraft to make its descent. he's a reporter who was tipped off. the pilot wanted someone to know his story in case the pilot got hurt or even killed. and ben montgomery with "the tampa bay times" who's been writing about this and has the scoop on the whole story joins us now. ben, what can you tell us about this pilot? why did he do this? >> well he's been thinking for a very long time about a very boring issue, campaign finance reform. and his mission was to do something big, the sort of mix of p.t. barnam and paul revere as he described himself, and fly a gyrocopter and deliver a letter to each member of congress that spells out how he feels about campaign finance. money corrupting elections. >> i saw a tweet that you wrote today hoping that no one got hurt. do you think the pilot understood that he could have been killed doing this? >> oh yeah, he knew that was certainly a possibility. he was
