DAY 8 UPDATE 7PM: ZELAYA'S PLANE IS CIRCLING THE AIRPORT IN TEGUCIGALPA HONDURAS, ATTEMPTING TO LAND

The airplane has been circling above the airport for about 5 minutes. President Zelaya is inside, along with Miguel D'Escoto, Secretary General of the UN General Assembly, Foreign MInister Patricia Rodas.

The Honduran military has placed military vehicles and forces all along the airport's runway to prevent the airplane from arriving....this is happening right now...the plane is circling trying to figure out how to land....the military is trying to stop it. Thousands of Zelaya supporters are applauding his arrival around the airport.

The military keeps placing more vehicles and forces on the runway to prevent the plane from being able to land...more to come.

How can the coup leaders explain not allowing Zelaya's plane to land if supposedly, as they have stated, they have an arrest order from the Supreme Court for his immediate capture? If that is true then how come they just don't arrest him?

The pilot of the airplane is speaking live on Telesur explaining the difficultly in arriving because of the obstacles placed on the runway...

Now President Zelaya is speaking explaining how the runway is filled with army vehicles and forces preventing his arrival...
