I-MINNEAPOLIS -Igosa lokuqala le-jet elilahlekelwe yindawo ebelisiya kuyo ngeekhilomitha ezili-150 likukhanyele ukungavumelani nomphathi walo okanye ukulala kancinci, besithi abakhweli abekho sengozini.
Kodwa kwiintsuku ezimbini emva kokuba esi sibini sidlulile saya kwindawo abaya kuyo njengoko abalawuli bezithuthi zomoya bezama ngamandla ukufikelela kubo, umqhubi wenqwelomoya uRichard Cole wenqabile ukuthetha ukuba yintoni ebenze balibale ukufika kuMntla-ntshona weAirlines Flight 188.
“Besingalali; besingaphikisani; besingalwi, ”utshilo uMnu Cole izolo.
Abalawuli bezithuthi zomoya kunye nabaqhubi beenqwelomoya bazama ngaphezulu kweyure ngoLwesithathu ebusuku, ixesha lendawo, ukunxibelelana noMnumzana Cole kunye nokapteni uTimothy Cheney, waseGig Harbour, Washington, besebenzisa unomathotholo, umnxeba ophathwayo kunye nemiyalezo yedatha.
Amagosa axelele iiJets zoLondolozo lweLizwe ukuba zilungiselele ukuleqa inqwelo moya ukusuka kwiindawo ezimbini, nangona kungekho nenye yeenqwelomoya zomkhosi ezishiye indlela.
"Kwakungengomcimbi obalulekileyo, ukusuka kukhuseleko (umbono)," utshilo uMnu Cole phambi kwendlu yakhe eSalem, e-Oregon. Ndingakuxelela ngaphezulu, kodwa sele ndikuxelele kakhulu.
Isishicileli selizwi se-cockpit sinokungayixeli le ndaba. Iirekhodi ezintsha zigcina kangangeeyure ezimbini zencoko yamaphenyane kunye nenye ingxolo, kodwa imodeli endala yokuhamba ngenqwelomoya i-Flight 188 ibandakanya nje imizuzu engama-30 yokugqibela-kuphela isiphelo sendiza yangoLwesithathu ebusuku emva kokuba abaqhubi beenqwelo moya befumene impazamo yabo eWisconsin kwaye babuyela umva IMinneapolis.
Umnumzana Cole akangekhe axoxe ukuba kutheni kuthathe ixesha elide ukuba abaqhubi beenqwelo moya baphendule kwiifowuni zikanomathotholo, “kodwa ndiyakuxelela ukuba iinqwelomoya zilahlekana nokunxibelelana nabantu basemhlabeni ngalo lonke ixesha. Iyenzeka. Ngamanye amaxesha badibana kwangoko; maxa wambi kuthatha ixesha ngaphambi kokuba omnye okanye omnye abone ukuba abanxibelelananga. ”
Umnumzana Cheney kunye no Cole banqunyanyisiwe kwaye bazakudliwanondlebe nabaphenyi beBhodi yoKhuseleko kuThutho kaZwelonke kwiveki ezayo. Babeka emngciphekweni wokunqunyanyiswa kwelayisensi kunye nesohlwayo esinokubakho.
Ingxelo yamapolisa ekhutshwe ngolwe-Sihlanu yathi abaqhubi beenqwelomoya baphumelele iimvavanyo zokuphefumla kwaye baxolisa emva kwenqwelomoya. Bebesandula ukuqala iveki yabo yokusebenza kwaye beza bephuma kwi-yotax ye-19.
Ingxelo yamapolisa ithi abasebenzi babonakalise ukuba babeneengxoxo ezishushu malunga nomgaqo-nkqubo wenqwelomoya kwaye "balahlekile ngokwazi imeko".
Kodwa iingcali kwezokhuseleko kwezokuhamba ngenqwelomoya zathi kunokwenzeka ukuba abaqhubi beenqwelomoya balale nje.
Abaqhubi beenqwelomoya bahlala bezibandakanya emva kokuhamba, baxhomekeke kwiikhompyuter zolawulo lwenqwelomoya ukuze bahambe kwaye bahlengahlengise isantya ngelixa behamba ngenqanawa, emva koko inkqubo yehla kwi-trajectories ukuya kwi-runways. Ngexesha lohambo olungaphezulu kweeyure ezintathu, abaqhubi beenqwelo moya babekek 'esweni izixhobo kwindawo emnyama enendawo yokujikeleza engqonge ingxolo yenjini. Uphando lubonakalisile ukuba phantsi kwezo meko, abaqhubi beenqwelo moya banokulala bengazi.
U-Bill Voss, umongameli we-Flight Safety Foundation e-Alexandria, eVirginia, uthe eyona nto ixhalabisayo kukuba uninzi lokhuselo olwenziwe kwinkqubo yeenqwelomoya lwalungasebenzi kude kube sekupheleni. Umthumeli wenqwelomoya kwakufuneka ukuba azame ukufikelela kubo kunye nolawulo lwezithuthi zomoya. Abahambi abathathu beenqwelomoya bekufanele ukuba babuza ukuba kutheni kungekho malungiselelo okufika. Imiboniso bhanyabhanya eqaqambileyo bekufanele ukuba ibalumkisile abaqhubi beenqwelo moya ukuba lixesha lokufika emhlabeni.
Uphando lubonakalisile ukuba i-naps emfutshane phakathi kwenqwelomoya inokunceda ukwenza abaqhubi beenqwelomoya ngakumbi xa befika. Ngelixa kuthintelwe ngokungqongqo e-US, olo "lawulo lobuthongo olulawulwayo" luvunyiwe phantsi kweemeko ezithile ngabathile baphesheya.
