Kugongana kw’indege ebyiri mu kirere ni ikintu kidasanzwe kuko ubundi indege zigira ikoranabuhanga riziyobora, rikanatuma zibona aho izindi ndege ziri, bityo ntizibe zagongana.
Niyo mpamvu hatangiye iperereza karundura rigamije gusuzuma icyateye iyi mpanuka, gusa amakuru y’ibanze akaba avuga ko kajugujugu yari iri mu myitozo ya gisirikare, ubwo yakoraga impanuka nk’uko byemejwe n’igisirikare cya Amerika.
Bombardier CRJ700 yari itwaye abagenzi 60 n’abandi bakozi bane bakora mu ndege mu gihe kajugujugu yari itwaye abantu batatu. Iyi ndege yari ivuye i Kansas, byari biteganyijwe ko igwa ku kibuga cy’indege cya Ronald Reagan Washington.
Bimwe mu bice by’izi ndege byaguye mu mugezi wa Potomac ari naho hari kwibanda ibikorwa by’ubutabazi.
Nyuma y’iyi mpanuka, inzego zishinzwe ubutabazi zahise zitabara mu buryo bwihuse. Abakozi b’ishami rishinzwe ubutabazi bw’indege bagiye aho impanuka yabereye, bifashishije ubwato bwihuta n’indege zitagira abapilote (drones) mu gushakisha abantu bari mu mazi.
Abashinzwe ubutabazi batangaje ko abagenzi bagera kuri 45 ba Bombardier CRJ700 bakuwemo ari bazima, mu gihe abandi bagikurikiranwa n’abashinzwe ubutabazi. Gusa, hari impungenge ko hari abantu bashobora kuba baguye muri iyi mpanuka, kuko hari abataraboneka.
Umwe mu bari batwaye kajugujugu bivugwa ko yagerageje gutanga ubutumwa bwihutirwa mbere yo kugwa, ariko ntibiramenyekana neza icyabaye nyuma yaho. Ikigo gishinzwe isesengura ry’impanuka z’indege muri Amerika (NTSB) cyatangaje ko cyatangiye iperereza kuri iyi mpanuka, kikaba cyakusanyije amakuru ku buryo indege ebyiri zashoboraga kugongana nubwo hari ikoranabuhanga ribifasha kwirinda.
Abaturage bari hafi y’aho impanuka yabereye bavuze ko bumvise urusaku rwinshi mu kirere, nyuma babona umuriro n’umwotsi mu kirere mbere y’uko bimwe mu bice by’indege bigwa mu mazi.
Umwe mu babibonye yagize ati: “Twumvise urusaku rukomeye cyane, turahindukira tubona igice kimwe cy’indege kiri kugwa mu mazi. Nyuma y’akanya gato, imodoka z’abashinzwe ubutabazi zatangiye kuhagera.”
Iyi mpanuka ikomeje gukurikirwa n’abategetsi b’Amerika, mu gihe hakomeje gushakishwa icyayiteye.
