i've got renÉ marsh. let me bring you in. you've got new details. what happened here?> well we do know as you mentioned there, brooke this gyrocopter as it's called and just a little bit about this thing. we know essentially it's different from a helicopter in the sense that the blade that you're looking at there, as it turns, it gets momentum from the wind. it cannot hover. we know that. as far as what happened essentially this is restricted air space, and this individual flew this thing into restricted air space. way it's set up here in the washington, d.c. area there's quite a bit of restricted air space just simply because of all of the federal buildings that we have here. we have the white house, the capitol building. so if you draw a circle a radius around reagan national airport, 15 nautical miles, that is what the restricted air space is. that would include this area that we are looking at here. i did speak to the faa, and specially they tell me at this point they did not give special permission for anyone to fly into this air space. so obviously this individua
