E-WASHINGTON (CNN) - Inqwelomoya ye-American Airlines yasuka eDallas, eTexas, ukuya eParis, eFransi, nangona "iphaneli enkulu" yawa phantsi ngaphantsi njengoko indiza yahamba, i-airline yatsho kwimemo kubaqhubi beenqwelomoya.
Abaqhubi beenqwelo-moya kunye nabasebenzi beva ingxolo kwaye beva ukungcangcazela njengoko inqwelomoya yayidlula ezinyaweni ze-10,000, kodwa abazange bazi isizathu baze bafike eParis, ngokutsho kwememo, eyafunyanwa yi-CNN.
“Kwakungekho ndlela yokuba eli qela lalinokwazi ukuba eli phaneli limkile,” yatsho imemo. "Ukuba bebesazi, ngebebuyile."
UScott Shankland, isithethi soMbutho wabaPhathi beenqwelo-moya, omele abaqhubi beenqwelo-moya baseMelika, uqikelele ukuba ipaneli eye yawa yayimalunga neemitha ezi-3 ububanzi kunye neemitha ezi-4 okanye ezi-5 ubude.
“Kukho iziqwenga zefuselage ezingajongwanga, kwaye ukuba ziphuma ngesizathu esithile, asinandlela yokwazi ukuba kwenzekile,” utshilo. “Inqabile kakhulu. Iyenzeka.”
I-Federal Aviation Administration ithe iyaphanda ngesi sehlo.
I-American Airlines ikhuphe i-memo emva kwe-imeyile enomsindo kunye neefoto zomngxuma oshiywe yiphaneli elahlekileyo, ekutyholwa ukuba ivela kumalungu eqela leenqwelomoya, yaqala ukujikeleza kwi-Intanethi kunye neeblogi zeshishini leenqwelomoya.
Umthwali akachazi ngokusemthethweni ngesiganeko se-20 ka-Epreli ngaphandle kokuthi uyaphanda, utshilo isithethi sikaTim Wagner. Imemo yabhalwa ngomhla we-7 kuMeyi.
Imemo iyasikhusela isigqibo somqhubi wenqwelomoya sokuqhubeka nohambo lwenqwelomoya oluziiyure ezili-9½, isithi akukho zibane zilumkisayo, izinto ezigwenxa, ingxolo eyongezelelweyo okanye ukungcangcazela.
"Ukapteni uthathe isigqibo sokuqhubekeka [kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya saseParis' iCharles de Gaulle], ekholelwa ukuba ingxolo ibinokuba kukutshintsha kwebhokisi yempahla," yatsho imemo. Ithi umqhubi wenqwelomoya ngekufuneka alahle i-100,000 yeeponti zamafutha ngaphambi kokuba abuyele kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya saseDallas-Fort Worth, kwaye wayenokukhetha ukuhlala phambi kokuwela ulwandle ukuba bekukho isizathu esingakumbi sokuxhalaba.
Umqhubi wenqwelomoya uza kuzama ukuhla ngokugqithisileyo kuphela ukuba kukho ukuthandabuza okukhulu ukuba inqwelomoya ingaqhubeka ngokukhuselekileyo, utshilo uShankland, isithethi sombutho kunye nomqhubi we-AA ngokwakhe.
“Ukulahla amafutha ngekuthathe iyure, kwaye uthetha ngokulahla amashumi amawaka eegaloni zamafutha empuma yeTexas,” utshilo.
Imemo ayilichazi igama lomqhubi wenqwelomoya yejumbo engamawele angama-767.
Kubonakala ngathi i-FAA ayikhuphanga imiyalelo kubahloli ukuba bajonge iphaneli ethile eye yawa kwinqwelomoya, icebisa ukuba akukho mbali yeengxaki ngenxalenye.
Iphaneli yamaphiko yavuthela inqwelomoya ye-US Airways kwenye indawo ngaphaya kweMaryland ngoMatshi. Abaphandi kamva bathi bafumene iikliphu zamaphiko eziqhekekileyo kwinqwelomoya- nakwisixhenxe seenqwelomoya ezili-18 ezindala iBoeing 757s. Zonke iinqwelo-moya ziye zalungiswa, ngokutsho kweBhodi yeSizwe yoKhuseleko lwezoThutho ezimeleyo, ejonga ukuba ezinye iinqwelo-moya zeenqwelomoya zingachaphazeleka.
Ingozi ebulalayo yeConcorde eParis ngo-2000 ngokucacileyo yabangelwa ngumcu wentsimbi osuka kwenye inqwelomoya ewonakalise iConcorde ekundulukeni.
