Abaphandi be-Federal bathi ngolwe-Sihlanu ukuba umlawuli wezithuthi zomoya kwiveki ephelileyo uqale wasilela ukulumkisa emva koko wazama ukuphambukisa inqwelomoya yabucala kwingozi esemoyeni ngenqwelomoya yokukhenketha ukuba ibhabhe phezu kwepaseji yomoya ephithizelayo yase-Hudson River ephuma kwisiXeko saseNew York.
Baye bafumanisa ukuba umlawuli wezithuthi zomoya "kwifowuni engahambelani neshishini" - kunye nentombi yakhe - ngexesha lengozi.

Ibhodi yeSizwe yoKhuseleko lwezoThutho eWashington ikhuphe uhlaziyo "kwingcaciso eyinyani" ephuhliswe kuphando lwayo malunga nokungqubana kwemini phakathi kweSixeko saseNew York kunye nelizwe laseMelika laseNew Jersey kwimozulu ecacileyo.
Inqwelomoya ene-injini enye ethwele abantu abathathu yasuka kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya saseTeterboro eNew Jersey malunga ne-11:48 am EDT, kwaye inqwelomoya yokubona indawo ethwele abakhenkethi abahlanu baseItali kunye nomqhubi wenqwelomoya wemka kwi-30th Street Heliport yeSixeko saseNew York malunga ne-11:52 am, Ingxelo ye-NTSB yatsho.
“Ngo-11:52:20 (am EDT) umlawuli weTeterboro wayalela umqhubi wenqwelo-moya (inqwelo-moya) ukuba aqhagamshelane neNewark (NJ, Airport) ngokuphindaphindiweyo kwe-127.85; Inqwelomoya yafika kuMlambo i-Hudson kumntla weHoboken, NJ, ngaphesheya kweNew York, malunga nemizuzwana engama-40 kamva,” yatsho i-NTSB. "Ngelo xesha kwakukho iinqwelomoya ezininzi ezifunyenwe yi-radar kwindawo ngokukhawuleza ngaphambi kwenqwelomoya, kuquka nenqwelomoya yengozi, zonke ezinokuthi zibe yingxabano yendlela yokuhamba kwenqwelomoya."
“Umlawuli wenqaba yaseTeterboro, owayetsalela umnxeba ngelo xesha, akazange amcebise umqhubi wenqwelo-moya ngeengxabano zendlela,” baqhubeka abaphandi. “Umlawuli wenqaba yaseNewark uye waphawula ukuthuthwa kweenqwelo-moya phezu koMlambo i-Hudson waza wafowunela uTeterboro ecela ukuba umlawuli ayalele umqhubi wenqwelo-moya ukuba ajike aye ngasemzantsi-ntshona ukuze acombulule ezo ngxwabangxwaba ezinokubakho.”
"Umlawuli weTeterboro emva koko wazama ukuqhagamshelana nenqwelomoya kodwa umqhubi wenqwelomoya akazange aphendule," yatsho i-NTSB. “Ungquzulwano lwenzeke kungekudala emva koko. Uphononongo lonxibelelwano olurekhodiweyo lolawulo lwenqwelo-moya lubonise ukuba umqhubi wenqwelo-moya akazange afowunele eNewark ngaphambi kokuba kwenzeke ingozi.”
Iingxelo zemithombo yeendaba zasekhaya zithi umlawuli kumnxeba ongengoweshishini wayethetha nomhlobo wakhe oyintombazana kwaye umphathi wenqaba wayemkile kwindawo. Bobabini kuthiwa banqunyanyisiwe.
Izidumbu ezibini zokugqibela kunye nenxalenye enkulu yenqwelomoya encinci yabucala kwintlitheko kwimpelaveki ephelileyo kunye nenqwelomoya yokhenketho yaseNew York, apho kwabulawa abantu abasithoba, yafunyanwa ngoLwesibini kuMlambo i-Hudson phakathi kweSixeko saseNew York kunye neNew Jersey, amapolisa athi.
