MIAMI (The Thursday Times) — Hafte ki raat Miami International Airport par taxiway par Copa Airlines ka musafir tayyara aur UPS ka cargo tayyara aapas mein takra gaye, jis se do afrad zakhmi hue. Yeh takrao us se ek din baad hua jab mulk geer ground stop ne poore America mein fizai safar ko mutasir kiya tha.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ne kaha ke Copa ke Boeing 737 ke par ki nok UPS ke Boeing 767 ki naak se takrai, jab dono tayyare maqami waqt ke mutabiq raat taqreeban 9 baje taxi kar rahe the. Idare ke mutabiq air traffic controllers ne UPS ke amle ko Copa ki flight ko rasta dene ko kaha tha. Copa ka tayyara utarne ke baad apne gate ki taraf ja raha tha, jabke UPS ka tayyara Colombia ke shehr Bogota rawangi ke liye taxi kar raha tha. FAA ka kehna hai ke woh tehqeeqat kar raha hai.
Do afrad ko maukay par tibbi imdad
Miami-Dade Aviation Department ke director communications Greg Chin ne kaha ke dono tayyare do taxiways ke sangam par ek doosre se takraye. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue ne do mareezon ko maamooli zakhmon ke liye maukay par tibbi imdad di aur unhein aspatal le jane ki zaroorat nahin padi. Flights ko doosre taxiways ki taraf mor diya gaya, aur airport ke mutabiq operations mutasir nahin hue.
Copa ki flight ke ek musafir Cesar Ferreira ne achanak jhatke ka haal bataya. “Landing ke baad hum aam raftar se taxi kar rahe the ke achanak mujhe apne gird shor barhta hua mehsoos hua – phir ek ijtimai cheekh aur phir kisi doosre tayyare ke hamare tayyare se takrane ka jhatka,” unhon ne kaha. Un ke mutabiq amle ne sab ko apni nashiston par baithe rehne par aamada kiya. Copa ne kaha ke musafiron aur amle ki hifazat us ki awwaleen tarjeeh hai aur woh tehqeeqat mein taawun kare ga. UPS ne kaha ke us ka amla mehfooz hai.
Amriki fizai safar ke liye ek mushkil hafta
Jumme ko FAA ne kai air traffic control markaz mein muwasalati masail ke baad taqreeban chaar ghante ke liye mulk bhar mein flights ki rawangi rok di thi. Hukkam ke mutabiq is ki wajah ek theke-dar ki taraf se tambe ki taar ko fibre optic cable se badalne ka naqis kaam thi. Itwar ko bhi hazaron flights taakheer ya mansookhi ka shikar rahin. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy ne is upgrade ki zaroorat ka zimmedar Congress ki funding ki kami ko thehraya hai, jabke naqideen kehte hain ke White House ne is kaam ke liye pehle se mukhtas raqam kharch nahin ki.
