Charles "Charlie" Pike, yemwe tsopano akukhala ku Belvedere, Illinois, sanalankhulepo ndi mtolankhani aliyense koma adauza 10 Investigates, "Yakwana nthawi yoti ndinene nkhani yanga."
Nkhani yake idayamba pa Okutobala 29, 2010 pa State Route 33 ku Groveland, Florida.Anali wokwera m'galimoto yonyamula katundu.
"Ndimakumbukira momwe tinali kuyendetsa ... tidapambuka ndikuphonya Labrador kapena galu wamkulu.Tidakhotekera motere - tidagunda matope komanso kumbuyo kwa tayala - ndipo galimotoyo idalumphira pang'ono," adatero Pike.
"Monga momwe ndikudziwira, mpanda uyenera kuthyoka ngati accordion, mtundu wina wa buffer ... chinthu ichi chinadutsa mgalimoto ngati harpoon," adatero Pike.
Mlondayo amadutsa mgalimoto kupita kumbali yokwera, komwe kuli Pike.Anati sakuganiza kuti kumenyako kunali kolimba mpaka pamene anayamba kusuntha mwendo wake kupyola mpanda.
Opulumutsa anayenera kuika miyoyo yawo pachiswe pofuna kutulutsa Pike mgalimotomo.Anamutengera ndege ku Orlando Regional Medical Center.
"Ndinadzuka ndikupeza kuti ndilibe mwendo wakumanzere," adatero Pike.Ndinaganiza: “Amayi, kodi ndataya mwendo wanga?”Ndipo iye anati, “Inde.“…Ndinango…madzi anandikhudza.Ndinayamba kulira.Sindikuganiza kuti ndinavulazidwa.”
Pike adati adakhala pafupi sabata imodzi mchipatala asanatulutsidwe.Anadutsa m’chipatala cha odwala mwakayakaya kuti aphunzire kuyendanso.Anamuveka mphira m’munsi mwa bondo.
"Pakadali pano, ndinganene kuti giredi 4 ndi yabwinobwino," adatero Pike, ponena za ululu woyambira giredi 10. "Tsiku loyipa kukazizira… Level 27."
"Ndakwiya chifukwa kukanakhala kuti kulibe mipanda, zonse zikhala bwino," adatero Pike."Ndimaona kuti ndine wonyengedwa komanso wokwiya kwambiri pazochitika zonsezi."
Ngoziyo itachitika, a Parker anasumira mlandu ku Dipatimenti Yoona za Mayendedwe ku Florida.Mlanduwu ukunena kuti galimotoyo idagwera m’malo osungira akaidi a ku Florida omwe anaikidwa molakwika ndipo boma lidanyalanyaza “kulephera kusamalira, kuyendetsa, kukonza, ndi kukonza” State Highway 33 pamalo otetezeka.
"Ngati mutulutsa china chake chothandizira anthu, muyenera kuwonetsetsa kuti chamangidwa njira yabwino yothandizira anthu," adatero Pike.
Koma Ofufuza 10, pamodzi ndi oteteza chitetezo, adapeza mipanda yambiri yolakwika m'boma patatha zaka 10 chiwonongeko cha Pike.
Investigative Digest: M'miyezi inayi yapitayi, mtolankhani 10 wa ku Tampa Bay Jennifer Titus, wopanga Libby Hendren, ndi cameraman Carter Schumacher adayenda ku Florida konse ndipo adapitanso ku Illinois, ndikupeza zotchingira zotetezedwa molakwika m'misewu ya boma.Ngati guardrail yaikidwa molakwika, siigwira ntchito monga momwe idayesedwa, ndikupanga ma guardrail kukhala "zilombo".Gulu lathu lawapeza kuchokera ku Key West kupita ku Orlando komanso kuchokera ku Sarasota kupita ku Tallahassee.Dipatimenti Yoyang'anira Zoyendetsa ku Florida tsopano ikuwunika mwatsatanetsatane inchi iliyonse ya guardrail.
Tapanga nkhokwe ya alonda osokonekera ku Miami, Interstate 4, I-75, ndi Plant City - mapazi ochepa chabe kuchokera ku likulu la Florida Department of Transportation ku Tallahassee.
“Bingu lidagunda njanji pomwe simayenera kukhala.Nanga bwanji ngati sangathe kudziteteza kapena Kazembe DeSantis?Izi ziyenera kusintha - ziyenera kuchokera ku chikhalidwe chawo, "anatero Steve Allen, yemwe amalimbikitsa misewu yotetezeka," adatero Merce.
Gulu lathu linagwira ntchito ndi Eimers kupanga nkhokwe ya mipanda yolakwika.Timayika mipanda mwachisawawa m'boma lonse ndikuwonjezera pamndandanda wathu.
“Kuthamangira kumapeto kwa mpanda, kugunda mpanda, kungakhale kuchita zachiwawa kwambiri.Zotsatira zake zimakhala zochititsa chidwi komanso zonyansa.Ndikosavuta kunyalanyaza mfundo yakuti bawuti imodzi - imodzi pamalo olakwika - ikhoza kukupha.Mbali yake yozondoka ikupha,” adatero Ames.
Steve ndi dokotala wa ER, osati injiniya.Sanapite kusukulu kukaphunzira mipanda.Koma moyo wa Ames unasinthidwa kwamuyaya ndi mpanda.
“Zinanenedwa kuti ndinadziŵa kuti mwana wanga wamkazi ali mu mkhalidwe wovuta.Ndinafunsa, “Kodi padzakhala mayendedwe aliwonse,” ndipo iwo anati, “Ayi,” Ames anatero.“Kalelo sindinkafuna kuti apolisi azigogoda pakhomo panga.Ndinadziwa kuti mwana wanga wamkazi wafa.
"Anamwalira pa [October] 31 ndipo sitinamuonenso," adatero Ames."Pali chipwirikiti pamutu pake ... sitinamuwonenso nthawi yomaliza, zomwe zimandifikitsa pansi pa dzenje la akalulu lomwe sindinatulukemo."
Tidalumikizana ndi Eimers mu Disembala, ndipo patangotha ​​milungu ingapo titagwira naye ntchito, database yathu idapeza mipanda 72 yolakwika.
"Ndinawona pang'ono, pang'ono peresenti.Mwina tikukamba za mipanda mazanamazana yomwe ikanaikidwa molakwika,” adatero Ames.
Mwana wamwamuna wa Christie ndi Mike DeFilippo, Hunter Burns, anamwalira atagunda njanji yotchinga molakwika.
Banjali tsopano limakhala ku Louisiana koma nthawi zambiri amabwerera kumalo kumene mwana wawo wazaka 22 anaphedwa.
Patha zaka zitatu kuchokera pamene ngoziyi inachitika, koma maganizo a anthu akadali amphamvu, makamaka ataona chitseko cha galimoto chokhala ndi chitsulo cha dzimbiri, chomwe chili pamtunda wa mamita ochepa chabe kuchokera pamalo a ngoziyo.
Malinga ndi iwo, chitseko cha dzimbiri chagalimotoyo chinali gawo lagalimoto yomwe Hunter amayendetsa m'mawa wa Marichi 1, 2020.
Christy adayankha kuti: "Hunter anali munthu wabwino kwambiri.Anayatsa chipindacho mphindi yomwe adalowa.Iye anali munthu wowala kwambiri.Anthu ambiri ankamukonda.”
Malinga ndi iwo, ngoziyi idachitika Lamlungu m'mawa kwambiri.Christie akukumbukira kuti atamva kugogoda pakhomo, nthawi inali 6:46 koloko.
"Ndinalumpha pabedi ndipo panali apolisi awiri a Florida Highway Patrol atayima pamenepo.Adatiuza kuti Hunter adachita ngozi ndipo sadathe,” adatero Christie.
Malinga ndi lipoti la ngoziyo, galimoto ya Hunter inagundana ndi mapeto a njanji.Kuwonongekaku kudapangitsa kuti galimotoyo izungulire molunjika isanagubuduke ndikugwera pachizindikiro chachikulu cha magalimoto.
"Ichi ndi chimodzi mwa njira zochititsa mantha kwambiri zomwe ndapezapo zokhudzana ndi ngozi yapamsewu yakupha.Ayenera kudziwa momwe zidachitikira ndipo sizidzachitikanso.Tinali ndi mnyamata wazaka 22 yemwe anagunda chikwangwani cha msewu ndikuwotcha.“Inde.Ndakwiya ndipo ndikuganiza kuti anthu aku Florida nawonso akwiye,” adatero Ames.
Timaphunzira kuti mpanda umene Burns amawombamo sunakhazikitsidwe molakwika, komanso Frankenstein.
"Frankenstein amabwerera ku Frankenstein chilombo.Ndipamene mumatenga mbali zamakina osiyanasiyana ndikuzisakaniza,” adatero Eimers.
”Panthawi ya ngoziyi, ET-Plus guardrail sinali m'manja mwamapangidwe ake chifukwa chosayika bwino.The guardrail sakanakhoza kudutsa pamutu wa extrusion chifukwa chotengeracho chimagwiritsa ntchito chingwe cholumikizira chingwe chomwe chimamangirira ku guardrail m'malo modzigwirizanitsa.Kutulutsa mbedza Kumadyetsa, kuphwasula ndi kutsika kuchokera ku shock absorber.Chifukwa chake mlonda akagundidwa ndi galimoto ya Ford, mapeto ake ndi mlonda amadutsa kutsogolo kwa galimoto ya Ford, hood ndi pansi pa galimoto ya Ford kulowa m'chipinda chake.
Zosungira zomwe tidapanga ndi Eimers sizimaphatikizapo mipanda yoyikidwa molakwika, komanso ma Frankenstein awa.
"Sindinawonepo kuti uyenera kulimbikira kwambiri kukhazikitsa zinthu zolakwika.Ndikosavuta kuchita bwino, "adatero Ames, ponena za ngozi ya Burns.Sindikudziwa momwe munazisokoneza chonchi.Musakhale mbali m'menemo, ikani ziwalo zopanda ziwalo za dongosolo lino.Ndikukhulupirira FDOT ifufuzanso za ngoziyi.Ayenera kudziwa zomwe zikuchitika pano.“
Tinatumiza nkhokwe kwa Pulofesa Kevin Shrum wa yunivesite ya Alabama ku Birmingham.Akatswiri a zomangamanga amavomereza kuti pali vuto.
"Kwambiri, ndidatha kutsimikizira zomwe adanena ndipo ndidapezanso zinthu zina zambiri zolakwika," adatero Schrum."Zoti pali nsikidzi zambiri zomwe sizisintha komanso kuti nsikidzi zomwezo zimadetsa nkhawa."
"Muli ndi makontrakitala omwe amaika ma guardrail ndipo ndiye gwero lalikulu la kuyika kwa guardrail m'dziko lonselo, koma oyika sadziwa momwe kuwonekera kumayenera kugwirira ntchito, nthawi zambiri amangolola kukhazikitsa," adatero Schrum.."Amadula mabowo pomwe akuganiza kuti ayenera kukhala, kapena kubowola mabowo pomwe akuganiza kuti akuyenera kukhala, ndipo ngati samvetsetsa momwe ma terminal amagwirira ntchito, sangamvetsetse chifukwa chake zili zoyipa kapena chifukwa chake zili zolakwika."sizigwira ntchito.
Tapeza kanema wamaphunzirowa patsamba la bungwe la YouTube, pomwe Derwood Sheppard, State Highway Design Engineer, amalankhula za kufunikira kokhazikitsa koyenera kwa guardrail.
"Ndikofunikira kwambiri kukhazikitsa zidazi monga momwe mayeso a ngozi amachitidwira ndipo malangizo oyikapo amakuuzani kuti muchite malinga ndi zomwe wopanga adakupatsani.Chifukwa ngati simutero, mukudziwa kuti kuumitsa dongosolo kumatha kubweretsa zotsatira zomwe mukuwona pazenera, alonda akugwada ndikusatulutsa bwino, kapena kupanga chiwopsezo cholowera mnyumba, "Sheppard akutero mu kanema wa YouTube..
DeFilippos sakudziwabe momwe mpanda uwu unakhalira pamsewu.
"Maganizo anga aumunthu samamvetsetsa kuti izi ndi zomveka.Sindikumvetsa kuti anthu angamwalire bwanji chifukwa cha zinthuzi ndipo sanayikebe bwino ndi anthu osayenerera ndiye ndikuganiza kuti ndilo vuto langa.Christy anatero."Mumatenga moyo wa munthu wina m'manja mwanu chifukwa simunachite bwino nthawi yoyamba."
Sikuti amangoyesa inchi iliyonse yachitetezo m'misewu yayikulu yaku Florida, "dipatimentiyo imabwerezanso zachitetezo ndi kufunikira kwa mfundo zathu ndi njira za ogwira ntchito ndi makontrakitala omwe ali ndi udindo wokhazikitsa ndi kuyang'anira njanji ndi zowongolera.Njira yathu.”
"Chofunika kwambiri ku Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) ndi chitetezo, ndipo FDOT imaganizira kwambiri nkhawa zanu.Chochitika cha 2020 chokhudza a Burns omwe mudawatchula chinali chomvetsa chisoni kwambiri ndipo a FDOT afikira banja lawo.
"Kuti mudziwe, FDOT yaika zotchinga pafupifupi 4,700 miles ndi 2,655 shock absorbers m'misewu yathu ya boma.Dipatimentiyi ili ndi ndondomeko ndi machitidwe a zipangizo zonse zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito m'malo athu, kuphatikizapo alonda ndi zotsekera.Kuyika mipanda ndi kukonza ntchito.pogwiritsa ntchito zigawo zomwe zapangidwa ndikusankhidwa mwachindunji kwa malo aliwonse, kugwiritsa ntchito, komanso kugwirizana.Zogulitsa zonse zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito m'maofesi a Dipatimenti ziyenera kupangidwa ndi opanga ovomerezeka ndi dipatimenti, chifukwa izi zimathandiza kuonetsetsa kuti zigawozo zikugwirizana.Komanso, yang'anani malo awiri aliwonse alonda chaka chilichonse kapena atangowonongeka.
"Dipatimentiyi ikugwiranso ntchito molimbika kukhazikitsa miyezo yaposachedwa yamakampani oyeserera ngozi panthawi yake.Ndondomeko ya FDOT imafuna kuti makhazikitsidwe onse omwe alipo a guardrail akwaniritse miyezo ya ngozi ya NCHRP Report 350 (Njira Zolangizidwa Zowunika Mayendedwe Otetezedwa Pamsewu).Kuonjezera apo, mu 2014, FDOT inapanga ndondomeko yogwiritsira ntchito pogwiritsa ntchito Buku la AASHTO Equipment Safety Assessment Manual (MASH), muyeso wamakono woyesera kuwonongeka.Dipatimentiyi yasintha miyezo yake ya alonda ndi mndandanda wazinthu zovomerezeka kuti zifunikire zida zonse zatsopano kapena zosinthidwa kuti zigwirizane ndi zofunikira za MASH.Kuwonjezela apo, mu 2019, Dipatimentiyi inalamula kuti alonda onse a X-lite alowe m’malo mwa alonda m’dziko lonselo mu 2009. Conco, alonda onse a X-lite anacotsedwa m’maofesi athu a m’boma lonse.
