Esigamekweni esidale ukwesaba isikhashana kodwa ngenhlanhla kwangalimala, ababili JetBlue Indiza ixhumane netiyela esikhumulweni sezindiza i-Boston Logan ngesikhathi kususwa uqweqwe ngolwesine ekuseni.
Ukushayisana kwenzeke cishe ngo-6:40 ekuseni ngesikhathi iphiko lesokunxele le-JetBlue Flight 777 lishayisa isizinzisi esivundlile se-JetBlue Flight 551.
Zombili izindiza bezisendleleni eya e-Las Vegas nase-Orlando, ngokulandelana. Lesi sigameko senzeke endaweni yetiyela engaphansi kwenkampani yezindiza, ngokusho kwezitatimende ze- I-Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), okuyimanje ephenya lolu daba.
Izindiza ezithintekayo zombili bekungamajethi e-Airbus A321 abeculwa ngenqubo yokususa iqhwa ngesikhathi kushayisana. Ngaphandle komthelela, akukho kulimala okubikiwe phakathi kwabagibeli noma izisebenzi kunoma iyiphi indiza.
Kodwa-ke, njengesinyathelo sokuzivikela, zombili izindiza zikhanseliwe, kuqinisekisile uJennifer Mehigan, okhulumela iMassachusetts Port Authority.
U-Mehigan uchaze ukushayisana “njengokuncane kakhulu,” ephawula ukuthi abagibeli abavela ezindizeni ezithintekile bangeniswe kwenye indiza ngokushesha. Ngokusho kokhulumela iJetBlue, ukushayisana kuholele ekulimaleni kwephiko lendiza eyodwa kanye nengxenye yomsila kwenye.
Ngenxa yalo monakalo, zombili izindiza zizokhishwa emsebenzini ukuze zilungiswe, abagibeli abathintekile babhukhelwe kabusha kwezinye izindiza. IJetBlue igcizelele ukuzibophezela kwayo kwezokuphepha, yathembisa ukuthi izophenya kabanzi ngesigameko ukuze kutholakale imbangela yaso.
UMary Menna, umgibeli ogibele indiza elibangise e-Las Vegas, wabelane ngolwazi lwakhe ne-WBZ NewsRadio yaseBoston, echaza ukushayisana “njengokushayisana okuncane” okudale ukunyakaza isikhashana kodwa akuzange kufinyelele engozini enkulu. Walandisa ngendlela abagibeli abawuzwa ngayo umthelela futhi wabona nomonakalo endizeni eseduze, owawuhlanganisa nengxenye eklebhukile yophiko lwayo. UMenna waphawula ukuthi nakuba indiza yabo iqhubeka nokulimala kwesakhiwo, yahlala injalo kodwa ingafanele ukundiza.
Lesi sigameko sisebenza njengesikhumbuzo sobunzima obuhilelekile ekusebenzeni kwesikhumulo sezindiza nokubaluleka kwemithetho eqinile yezokuphepha, ikakhulukazi phakathi nezimo zezulu ezimbi njengezinqubo zokususa uqhwa.
