A pilot with a very thick Venezuelan accent asks permission to land at Toncontin airport in the Honduran capital. He says that the president of the UN is aboard, but making no mention of Zelaya. The tower denies permission saying the airport is restricted to all except Honduran military aircraft at the moment. When permission is denied, he says that he will turn away to Managua, but then insists twice on landing at Toncontin. The tower says that if he does not turn away, that they will be “intercepted”. A different voice (Zelaya’s?) asks the tower as to what it means by “intercepted”. The rest we have seen…. Zelaya’s supporters broke through the fence, and were driven away by tear gas and rubber bullets.
