Repülőgéproncsok hullottak Denver egyik elővárosára szombaton, miután a United Airlines amerikai légitársaság egyik utasszállító gépének meghibásodott a hajtóműve, s nem sokkal a felszállás után szétrobbant.
A pilóták visszafordultak a denveri nemzetközi repülőtérre, ahol kényszerleszállást végrehajtva, biztonságban letették a gépet.
A szövetségi légiközlekedési hatóság (FAA) közleményben tudatta, hogy a 328-as járaton Honoluluba induló, Boeing 777-200 típusú gép pilótái nem sokkal a felszállást követően észlelték a jobboldali hajtómű meghibásodását.
A United Airlines közölte, hogy a gép 231 utasa számára helyet biztosítanak a hawaii fővárosba induló következő járataikon.
A Denvertől 40 kilométerre észak-nyugatra lévő Broomfield rendőrparancsnoksága fotókat tett fel a Twitterre, s ezek egyikén a hajtómű burkolatának nagy, kerek karimája látható egy ház falának dőlve. A rendőrség az esetleges sérültek jelentkezését kérte.
A nyaralni induló utasok utólag szörnyű megpróbáltatásokról számoltak be.
A repülőgép már majdnem elérte az utazómagasságot, és éppen a kapitány beszélt az utasokhoz, amikor robbanás rázta meg az utaskabint, egy hatalmas villanás kíséretében. A gép ezt követően hevesen rázkódni kezdett. „Azt hittem, végünk van” – mondta el egyikük, David Delucia.
A robbanást a földön is hallották az incidensről beszámoló tanúk.
Tyler Thal éppen sétálni indult a családjával, amikor észrevette a szokatlanul alacsonyan szálló gépet, és elővette a telefonját, hogy videofelvételt készítsen. Ezután következett be a robbanás, de a gép folytatta útját. A Twitterre feltett videón látszik, hogy a gép hajtóműve teljesen lángba borult.
United Airlines Boeing 777 operating as flight 328 flying from Denver – Honolulu suffered a serious engine failure on takeoff.
A médiában megszólalt annak a háznak a tulajdonosa is, amely mellé becsapódott a hajtómű egy darabban lezuhanó, mintegy 4,5 méter átmérőjű karimája. Kirby Klements szerint az apróra zúzódott roncsdarabok még hosszú percekig hullottak a környékre.
Az országos közlekedésbiztonsági hatóság megkezdte a baleset vizsgálatát.
Годину тому на Львівщіні в місті Дрогобич сталась трагедія. Чоловік з жінкою прийшли на зустріч до своїх знайомих. Як кажуть сусіди - чоловіки товаришували. Недавно разом повернулись із заробітків в Польші. Під час спілкування чоловік дістав гранату, яка вибухнула у нього в руках. Обидва чоловіки загинули на місці. Жінка у вкрай важкому стані з множинними осколковими пораненнями госпіталізована до лікарні. За минулий рік Націнальна поліція вилучила у громадян 4400 ручних гранат та 259 гранатометів! Таким чином поліцейскі зберегли сотні життів українцівВ абсолютній більшості випадків ця зброя має походження з зони дій Операції Об’єднаних сил. Нажаль, багато хто з нашіх військовослужбовців, грубо порушуючи закон, крадуть, вивозять та продать небезпечну зброю, яка потрібна для протидії Агресії РФ, та використовують її в побутових сварках, для скоєння злочинів, або просто для розваг. Ціна на гранати на чорному ринку зброї - від 500 то 1500 гривен. Це жахливе відео демонструє, наскільки наші співгромадяни не цінують ані своє, ані чуже життя! Тому МВС на Національна поліція виступає категорично проти будь якого послаблення контролю за обігом зброї! Ми категорично проти будь-яких законодавчих ініціатив, які ставлять собі за мету дозволити вільний обіг короткоствольної зброї, яку можна носити приховано на такі «дружні» зустрічі, яка годину тому сталась у Дрогобичі, і закінчилась загибеллю двох людей. Шановні співгромадяни! Якщо Вам стало відомо, що хтось з Ваших знайомих хизується, що в нього є бойова граната, вибухівка, або інша не законна зброя, будь ласка, негайно повідомте про це органи Національної поліції за телефоном 102. Так Ви зможете зберегти життя інших людей, своє життя і, в тому числі, життя тих, хто незаконно користується цією зброєю. Шановні командири Зброєних сил України ! Офіцери і генерали ! Наведіть накінець порядок з обліком та збереженням зброї в Ваших частинах. Зокрема бойових гранат. Тому що жахлива загибель цих двох чоловіків в Дрогобичі - це є результат бардаку в Ваших частинах з яких скоріш за все і біла вкрадена ця граната і інші 4400 що поліцейскі вилучили минулого року. Зброя потрібна для супротиву Російській Агресії, а не для того, щоб українці вбивали один одного !
