Ngo-Meyi 25, 2003, inqwelo-moya iBoeing 727-223, ebhaliswe njenge-N844AA, yebiwe kwisikhululo senqwelomoya iQuatro de Fevereiro, eLuanda, eAngola, yaza yanyamalala ngequbuliso ngaphezulu kolwandle iAtlantic. Uphando olukhulu lwenziwa yi-United States 'Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) kunye neCentral Intelligence Agency (CIA), kodwa akukho nanye inqaku esele ifunyenwe.
Emva kokusebenza kangangeminyaka engama-25 kwi-American Airlines, inqwelo-moya yayihleli phantsi kwaye ihleli nje eLuanda iinyanga ezili-14, kwinkqubo yokuguqulwa ukuba isetyenziswe yi-IRS Airlines. Ngokwenkcazo ye-FBI, inqwelomoya yayiyisilivere engapeyintwanga ngombala ngombala obomvu-mhlophe-obomvu kwaye ngaphambili yayikwinqwelomoya yomoya wenqwelomoya enkulu, kodwa zonke izihlalo zabakhweli zisusiwe ukuba zilungiselelwe ukuthwala ipetroli .
Kukholelwa ukuba kungekudala phambi kokutshona kwelanga kaMeyi 25, 2003, amadoda amabini ogama linguBen C. Padilla noJohn M. Mutantu bakhwela inqwelo-moya ukuze balungele uhambo. UBen wayengumqhubi wenqwelomoya waseMelika kunye nenjineli yenqwelomoya ngelixa uJohn wayengumatshini oqeqeshiweyo ovela kwiRiphabhlikhi yaseCongo, kwaye bobabini basebenza noomatshini baseAngola. Kodwa akukho namnye kubo oqinisekisiweyo ukubhabha iBoeing 727, edla ngokufuna iinqwelomoya ezintathu.
Inqwelomoya yaqala iteksi ngaphandle kokunxibelelana nenqaba yolawulo. Yayihamba ngokungaqhelekanga kwaye yangena kwindawo yokubaleka ngaphandle kwemvume. Amagosa enqaba azama ukunxibelelana, kodwa akwabikho mpendulo. Xa izibane zicinyiwe, inqwelomoya yabhabha, isiya emazantsi-ntshona ngaphesheya koLwandlekazi lweAtlantic ingaze iphinde ibonwe, kwaye la madoda mabini awazange afunyanwe. Kukho iingcamango ezininzi malunga noko kwenzeka kwinqwelo-moya iBoing 727-223 (N844AA).
NgoJulayi ka-2003, ukubonwa kweenqwelo-moya ezilahlekileyo kwaxelwa eConakry, eGuinea, kodwa oku kugxothwe ngokupheleleyo liSebe laseMelika.
Usapho lukaBen Padilla lwalukrokrela ukuba uBen ubhabha inqwelomoya kwaye woyika ukuba emva koko waqubeka kwenye indawo eAfrika okanye wabanjwa ngokuchasene nentando yakhe.
Ezinye iingxelo zibonisa ukuba bekukho umntu omnye owayekhwele inqwelomoya ngelo xesha, apho abanye babonisa ukuba bekukho ngaphezulu kwesinye.
Iingxelo ezininzi ezivuzayo zithi abasemagunyeni baseUnited States bakhangela ngasese inqwelomoya kumazwe amaninzi emva komsitho kungekho siphumo. Uphando lomhlaba lwaluqhutywa ngoonozakuzaku ababemi eNigeria kwizikhululo zeenqwelomoya ezininzi bengakhange bayifumane.
Bonke abasemagunyeni kubandakanya nemibutho encinci kunye nenkulu yokuhamba ngenqwelomoya, iindaba zeendaba kunye nabaphandi babucala abakwazanga ukufikelela kwisigqibo malunga nokuba ikuphi okanye iyintoni inqwelomoya, ngaphandle kophando kunye nodliwanondlebe nabantu abanolwazi ngeenkcukacha ezimalunga nokulahleka.
Ke kwenzeka ntoni ngenene kwiAmerican Airlines Boeing 727-223?
