    The aircraft appeared to be a Beechcraft Bonanza A36.  “The plane was intact and had come to rest over a slight embankment and against the airport fence which was damaged” said Ojeda.  All three of the occupants were unharmed and declined transport for medical evaluation.  Initial reports indicate that a door or compartment on the aircraft had come open when the plane took off.  The pilot was attempting to return to the airport and land when the aircraft overshot the runway and crashed.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
