What BBN said about it

  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorKXAN in Austin has video of a man running onto an airport tarmac and stealing a vehicle.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHe saw a wide open field and he went for it. I respect the ambition.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHe ran in untouched. Forty yards, no defenders.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorForty?

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI'm estimating. The video doesn't give a number.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorEveryone's chasing him, and nobody asks what he was running toward. That's a vision board, Hank.

  7. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat's a getaway, Vera. In a work truck.

  8. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorStill moving forward.

  9. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorReviewing the tape now. Flag on security. Unnecessary roughness on the fence.
