Ua lulu ka haunaele nui i ka mokulele Continental Airlines i ka Pōʻakahi, a ua hōʻeha i ka nui o nā ohua a koi ʻia ka mokulele e hoʻohuli i Miami, Florida, e like me ka ʻōlelo a ka mokulele a me kahi luna ahi.
He 168 mau kaʻa a he 11 mau lālā o ka mokulele ma ka mokulele 128, e holo ana mai Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, i Houston, Texas, e like me ka ʻōlelo mai Continental Airlines.
"ʻAʻole au i ʻike i ka haunaele e like me ia, no laila ua manaʻo maoli wau ʻaʻole mākou e hana," wahi a ka mea hele ʻo Giovani Loss i haʻi aku i ka hui CNN WSVN-TV. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Loss, no Brazil mai, he loio ʻo ia ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a hele pinepine ma waena o nā ʻāina ʻelua.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua makaʻu ka poʻe kaʻa i ka haunaele ma muli paha o nā pilikia mechanical me ka mokulele.
"E uē ana ka poʻe, a laila hāmau ka leo nui e like me 30 mau minuke," wahi a Loss.
Ua laina ʻia nā kaʻa kaʻa kaʻa a me nā kaʻa ʻē aʻe ma ke alahele e mālama a lawe i nā poʻe ʻeha i ka wā i pae ai ka mokulele ma Miami International Airport ma 5:35 am
"Ua lele ka poʻe i kāʻei ʻole i ka noho a paʻi i nā kaupaku," i haʻi aku ai ka mea kaʻa ʻo John Norwood iā WSVN. "No laila, ʻo ko lākou mau maka, paʻi ko lākou mau poʻo i nā plastics a uhaʻi i nā plastik āpau i luna."
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Continental ua lawe ʻia aku ʻehiku mau kaʻa i nā haukapila kokoke, a ma kahi o 28 mau mea kaʻa i mālama ʻia ma ia wahi. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Lt. Elkin Sierra o ke Keʻena Kinai Ahi o Miami-Dade he 26 mau mea i hōʻeha ʻia, me ʻehā mau mea koʻikoʻi.
Ua paʻi ka Boeing 767-200 i ka haunaele ma kahi o 50 mau mile ma ka ʻākau o Dominican Republic ma kahi o 38,000 kapuaʻi, e like me ka luna me ka Federal Aviation Administration. Ua pae ʻo ia ma Miami i hoʻokahi hola ma hope me nā hōʻailona kāʻei noho i hoʻomālamalama ʻia, wahi a ka mokulele.
Ua ʻōlelo ka nui o ka poʻe kaʻa ʻaʻole lākou i lohe i kekahi ʻōlelo aʻo ma mua o ka hiki ʻana o ka haunaele.
ʻO nāʻeha i loaʻa i loko o nā'ōpū, nāʻeha, kaʻeha'ā'ī a me kaʻeha hope, wahi a Sierra.
Ua ʻōlelo ka poʻe holo kaʻa ua ʻike lākou i kekahi poʻe e kahe koko ana mai ko lākou mau poʻo, me kahi wahine i loaʻa i kahi ʻeha koʻikoʻi ma kona poʻo.
Hoʻolālā ʻia ka mokulele e haʻalele iā Miami no Houston ma hope o ke kakahiaka, e like me ka pūnaewele pūnaewele ʻo Continental. Ua manaʻo ʻia e hōʻea i Houston i ka hola 6 kakahiaka.
