ʻO kahi mokulele liʻiliʻi e holo ana i Connecticut ma hope o ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻana i ka Statue of Liberty i pae ulia pōpilikia i ka Pōʻaono ma ke alanui waena o New York City, e hoʻopūʻiwa ana i nā mea hoʻokele akā hoʻopaʻa ʻia i lalo me ka ʻole o ka hōʻeha koʻikoʻi i kekahi o luna a i ʻole ma ka ʻāina, wahi a nā luna.
ʻO ka mokulele, he Piper PA-28, i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma kahi o 3:20 pm ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau o Major Deegan Expressway ma Bronx, ma kahi e hele ai ke alaloa ma Van Cortlandt Park.
Ua ʻōlelo ka Federal Aviation Administration he ʻekolu mau kānaka ma luna o ka moku. Ua ʻōlelo nā mākaʻi a me nā luna ahi, ʻaʻole i hōʻeha nui ʻia ka pailaka kāne kāne a i ʻole ʻelua mau kaʻa wahine. Ua lawe ʻia nā mea a pau i kahi haukapila Bronx no nā ʻeha hoʻoweliweli ʻole i ke ola, wahi a Mayor Bill de Blasio.
Ua haʻi aku ʻo De Blasio i ka poʻe nūhou ua haʻalele ka mokulele mai Danbury Municipal Airport a ke hoʻi nei i ka huakaʻi hoʻi i ka wā i loaʻa ai nā pilikia ʻenekini.
"Loaʻa iā mākou ... kūlana kupaianaha a he hana mana maoli nō, mahalo i ke Akua, i hana ʻia i kēia lā i ko mākou kūlanakauhale," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia, e kāhea ana i ka pae ʻana i ke alaloa kūleʻa, me ka ʻole o nā ʻeha nui a i ʻole nā make, "kamahaʻo."
"Ua manaʻo wau ua ʻike wau i nā mea āpau i koʻu ola," wahi āna.
Ua ʻōlelo ka FAA he mea liʻiliʻi ka pōʻino o ka mokulele. Hōʻike ʻia nā kiʻi i paʻi ʻia e ka poʻe e kū ana i ka mokulele uliuli a me ke keʻokeʻo, akā e kau ana ma ka ʻōpū ma ke kihi hau o ke alanui. Ua ʻike ʻia ka pae pae o ka mokulele ma nā kiʻi i hāʻule.
Ua ʻike kekahi limahana mālama o nā limahana o ka Oihana Kaʻahele o ke kūlanakauhale e hoʻoponopono ana i nā lua ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau o ke alaloa i ʻike i ka mokulele i ka pilikia e hele ana iā lākou a kāpae i ke kaʻa, e hoʻomaʻemaʻe ana i kahi no ka mokulele e pae ai, wahi a kahi ʻōlelo DOT.
Ua kōkua ka hui DOT i ka poʻe o ka mokulele i waho o ka mokulele a i loko o kahi kaʻa wela a hiki i ka hōʻea ʻana o nā limahana pilikia, wahi a ka ʻōlelo.
ʻAʻole maopopo koke ke ʻano o nā pilikia ʻenekini i loaʻa i ka mokulele. Ua ʻōlelo kekahi waha ʻōlelo no ka FAA e noiʻi ana akā ua ʻōlelo ka National Transportation Safety Board e lawe i ka hoʻokolokolo inā ʻike ʻia ua loaʻa ka mokulele i ka nui o ka pōʻino.
ʻAʻohe ahi a i ʻole nā leaks hau a ua wehe nā limahana pilikia i ka wahie o ka mokulele e hoʻopaʻa i ke kahua, wahi a de Blasio.
Ua pani ʻia ke alaloa a aia nā limahana ulia pōpilikia a hiki i ka hola 6 pm, i ka wā i lawe ʻia aku ai ka mokulele ma luna o kahi kaʻa kaʻa i kahi hale mokulele kūloko, wahi a ka FAA.
Ua hōʻike ʻia nā moʻolelo FAA ua hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia ka mokulele i kahi mea nona ma South Salem.
ʻO Patricia Sapol, 29, o West Point, e holo ana i ka hema ma ke ala nui me kāna kāne i ka wā i ʻike ai lākou i nā kaʻa pilikia e hoʻopuni ana i ka mokulele i hāʻule kokoke i ka puka 13, ma kahi o 15 mau minuke ma hope o ka pae ʻana.
“ʻAʻole hiki iā mākou ke manaʻoʻiʻo! Manaʻo mākou, 'E kuʻu akua he mokulele kēlā!' He mea kupaianaha loa ia, "wahi āna. "ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻaʻohe ulia maoli a mākou i manaʻo ai he mea kupanaha loa."
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- Ua ʻike kekahi limahana mālama o nā limahana o ka Oihana Kaʻahele o ke kūlanakauhale e hoʻoponopono ana i nā lua ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau o ke alaloa i ʻike i ka mokulele i ka pilikia e hele ana iā lākou a kāpae i ke kaʻa, e hoʻomaʻemaʻe ana i kahi no ka mokulele e pae ai, wahi a kahi ʻōlelo DOT.
- A spokeswoman for the FAA said it was investigating but said the National Transportation Safety Board would take over the investigation if it was determined the aircraft sustained a significant amount of damage.
- ʻO kahi mokulele liʻiliʻi e holo ana i Connecticut ma hope o ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻana i ka Statue of Liberty i pae ulia pōpilikia i ka Pōʻaono ma ke alanui waena o New York City, e hoʻopūʻiwa ana i nā mea hoʻokele akā hoʻopaʻa ʻia i lalo me ka ʻole o ka hōʻeha koʻikoʻi i kekahi o luna a i ʻole ma ka ʻāina, wahi a nā luna.
