| The
small private plane hired to tow the patriotic banner carrying
the NOAZTLAN.ORG logo and 'No Amnesty' message above the skies
of Dallas and Houston, Texas, as mentioned on this week's
American Dissident Voices broadcast, was forced to make an
emergency landing a few hours ago in a grass field near Dallas.
No one was hurt
.
ILLUSTRATION:
A tearful hug for the pilot, and conversation among concerned
officials, are shown at the site where the 'No Aztlan' aircraft
made an unscheduled descent.
According
to WFAA, 'Phyllis McFall, communications supervisor for Tri-City
Regional Communications, said the plane was not damaged. She
said the nearest cross street to the emergency landing was
Willow Run Road in Glenn Heights, near the city's border with
DeSoto. A San Angelo-based company owned the 10-year-old Cessna
188, which was flying out of Mid-Way Regional Airport in Ellis
County. The call for help came in at 12:45 p.m., and the pilot
was said to be shaken up but otherwise unhurt.
'"An
official with the FAA was being called and they are sending
a representative from Dallas to the scene," McFall said.
The plane landed in tall weeds not far from a residential
neighborhood adjacent to Meadow Creek Park. Aerial views showed
a woman embracing a man next to the single-engine plane.
'The
banner being towed by the plane included the message, "USA
LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT." A Web site linked to the banner
includes the message, "Illegal immigration spells cancer
for the American way of life."' Not mentioned by WFAA
were the anti-amnesty message on the banner and the noaztlan.org
Web address.
Preston
Wiginton, the concerned citizen behind the site -- and the
plane's multi-city voyage -- said that the unnamed mechanical
failure was unexpected. "You usually don't expect a failure
this serious such a short time after a thorough scheduled
inspection."
Mr.
Wiginton states on his site that illegal immigration is a
"cancer -- an abnormal growth that is threatening the
life of American culture and the life of the American people
through the poisoning and infecting of our infrastructure
(schools, hospitals, jails, social programs) because of unsustainable
cost; through poisoning and infecting our streets and neighborhoods
with crime (murder, theft, extortion, pimping, human trafficking,
racketeering etc.), violence, and drugs; through poisoning
and infecting our health and environment with the spreading
of diseases -- many thought to have been eradicated in America;
though the poisoning and infecting our workforce by displacing
jobs and making the future of American families vulnerable;
and through the poisoning and infecting of American (our)
values and ways of life."
The
site also provides detailed information on the threats posed
by immigration from Mexico. Mr. Wiginton is soliciting donors
to fund future flights of the banner over cities all across
America. |
