Wozenga milandu adalima mozama pamlandu wake patsiku lachiwiri la mlandu wa Shannon Awiri. Popeza chitetezo chafotokozera kale zambiri zomwe umboniwo udayenera kukhazikitsa, chidziwitso chatsopano chomwe oweruza adapeza kuchokera kwa mboni zamasiku ano chinali chakuti omwe akuimbidwa mlandu Ken Mayers ndi Tarak Kauff anali omangidwa achitsanzo, osangalatsa, ogwirizana, komanso ogwirizana, ndipo kuti mkulu wa zachitetezo pabwalo la ndege sadziwa ngati zida zikudutsa pabwalo la ndege amalondera.
Mayers ndi Kauff adamangidwa pa Marichi 17, 2019, pabwalo la ndege la Shannon chifukwa chokwera bwalo la ndege kukayendera ndege iliyonse yokhudzana ndi asitikali aku US omwe anali pa eyapoti. Atalowa pabwalo la ndege panali ndege ziwiri za asitikali aku US pabwalo la ndege, imodzi ya US Marine Corps Cessna jet, imodzi ya US Air Force Transport ya C40 ndi imodzi ya Omni Air International yomwe ili ndi mgwirizano ndi asitikali aku US zomwe amakhulupirira kuti zidanyamula asilikali ndi zida kudutsa. bwalo la ndege popita kunkhondo zosaloledwa ku Middle East, kuphwanya kusalowerera ndale kwa Ireland komanso malamulo apadziko lonse lapansi. Maboma a US ndi Irish, ndi Dipatimenti Yachilendo Yachilendo ku Ireland (yomwe inavomereza kuwonjezereka kwa ndege zankhondo za US ku Shannon) akupitiriza kunena kuti palibe zida zomwe zikuchitidwa pa ndege zankhondo za US, komanso kuti ndegezi sizilipo. zolimbitsa thupi zankhondo osati zankhondo. Komabe ngakhale izi zinali zoona, kupezeka kwa ndegezi zomwe zikudutsa pabwalo la ndege la Shannon popita kudera lankhondo ndikuphwanya malamulo apadziko lonse okhudza kusalowerera ndale.
Mosadziwikiratu, dipatimenti yoyendetsa ndege ya ku Ireland, yomwe imavomereza kuwonjezereka kwa ndege za anthu wamba zomwe zidaperekedwa kwa asitikali aku US kuti azinyamula asitikali kudzera pa eyapoti ya Shannon ikuvomerezanso kuti asitikali ambiri aku US omwe akuyenda pa ndegezi amanyamula mfuti zodziwikiratu kudzera pa eyapoti ya Shannon. Izi zikuphwanyanso malamulo apadziko lonse okhudza kusalowerera ndale komanso zikuphwanya lamulo loletsa dipatimenti yoona zakunja ku Ireland pakuyenda kwa zida zamayiko ankhondo kudzera m'chigawo cha Ireland.
Amuna awiriwa sanazengereze mlandu wowononga, kuphwanya malamulo, komanso kusokoneza kayendetsedwe ka ndege komanso chitetezo.
Ozemba mlanduwo anapereka mboni zisanu ndi zitatu pa tsiku lachiŵiri la mlanduwo ku Khoti Lachigawo la Dublin—atatu a Garda (apolisi) ochokera ku siteshoni ya Shannon ya kumeneko ndi Ennis Co Clare, Apolisi aŵiri a pa bwalo la ndege la Shannon, ndi woyang’anira ntchito wa pabwalo la ndege, woyang’anira ntchito yokonza bwalo la ndege, ndi woyang’anira wake wokonza ndegeyo. mkulu wa chitetezo.
Umboni wambiri umakhudzanso zambiri monga nthawi yomwe olowererawo adawonedwa koyamba, omwe adaitanidwa, liti komanso komwe adatengedwa, kangati komwe adawerengedwa maufulu awo, komanso momwe dzenje la mpanda wa bwalo la ndege lomwe adalowa nawo bwalo la ndege. inakonzedwa. Panalinso umboni wokhudza kutsekedwa kwakanthawi kogwira ntchito pabwalo la ndege pomwe ogwira ntchito pabwalo la ndege adawonetsetsa kuti palibe anthu ena osaloledwa pabwalo la ndege, komanso maulendo atatu otuluka ndi ndege imodzi yobwera yomwe idachedwetsedwa mpaka theka la ola.
Chitetezo chavomereza kale kuti Kauff ndi Mayers "adatenga nawo gawo potsegula mpanda wozungulira," ndikuti adalowadi "mpanda" (malo ozungulira) a eyapoti, komanso kuti analibe vuto lililonse. kumangidwa kwawo ndi kuchitiridwa zinthu motsatira ndi apolisi, kotero kuti umboni wochuluka sunali wofunika kutsimikizira kuti nkhanizi zinali zowonadi zomwe anagwirizana.
Pofunsa mafunso, omenyera chitetezo, a Michael Hourigan ndi a Carol Doherty, akugwira ntchito ndi oweruza a David Johnston ndi a Michael Finucane, adayang'ana kwambiri zomwe zidapangitsa Mayers ndi Kauff kulowa mubwalo la ndege - zonyamula asitikali ndi zida zankhondo kudzera m'malo osalowerera ndale ku Ireland. njira yawo yopita kunkhondo zosaloledwa—ndi chenicheni chakuti aŵiriwo mowonekeratu anali kuchita zionetsero. Chitetezo chinanena kuti nthawi zambiri zimadziwika kuti ndege za Omni zimayendetsedwa ndi asitikali aku US ndipo zidanyamula asitikali kupita ndi kuchokera ku Middle East, komwe United States imachita nkhondo ndi ntchito zosaloledwa.
Richard Moloney, Woyang'anira Moto Wapolisi wa Shannon Airport, adati ndege ya Omni yomwe a Kauff ndi Mayers akufuna kuti awunike "ikhalapo ndi cholinga chonyamula asitikali." Anayerekezera bwalo la ndege la Shannon ndi “malo okwerera mafuta a galimoto kumwamba,” nati “ndilo lili bwino padziko lonse lapansi, mtunda wabwino kwambiri kuchokera ku America komanso ku Middle East.” Ananenanso kuti gulu lankhondo la Omni limagwiritsa ntchito Shannon "poyimitsa mafuta kapena kuyimitsa chakudya popita ku Eastern Europe ndi Middle East."
Shannon Garda Noel Carroll, yemwe anali msilikali woyamba womangidwa pamalopo, anali pabwalo la ndege panthawiyo akuchita zomwe adazitcha "chitetezo chapafupi cha ndege ziwiri zankhondo za ku America" zomwe zinali pa Taxiway 11. Iye anafotokoza kuti izi zinaphatikizapo kukhalabe "pafupi". kuyandikira” ndegezo pamene zinali m’khwalala la taxi ndiponso kuti asilikali atatu anapatsidwanso ntchito imeneyi. Atafunsidwa ngati anafunikapo kukwera ndege ina yankhondo ya ku United States ku Shannon kuti akaone ngati ili ndi zida zankhondo, iye anayankha kuti, “Ayi.”
Umboni wodabwitsa kwambiri unachokera kwa John Francis, Chief Airport Security Officer ku Shannon kuyambira 2003. Pamalo ake, ali ndi udindo wa chitetezo cha ndege, chitetezo cha campus, ndi chitetezo, ndipo ndi mfundo yokhudzana ndi Garda, asilikali, ndi zina. mabungwe aboma.
Adanenanso atafunsidwa kuti akudziwa zoletsa kunyamula zida kudzera pabwalo la ndege pokhapokha ngati pali chilolezo chololedwa, koma adati sakudziwa ngati zida zilizonse zidatumizidwa pabwalo la ndege kapena ngati palibe chomwe chidachitikapo. kupatsidwa. Ananenanso kuti maulendo ankhondo a Omni "sanakonzedwe," ndipo "akhoza kuwonekera nthawi iliyonse," ndipo "sakudziwa" ngati ndege yonyamula zida ikudutsa pabwalo la ndege kapena ngati saloledwa. kulola mayendedwe otere.
Khotilo linamvanso umboni wa mboni zina zisanu zozenga mlandu: Noel McCarthy Woyang’anira chitetezo cha pabwalo la ndege; Raymond Pyne, Woyang'anira Ndege ya Duty yemwe adapanga chisankho chotseka ntchito kwa theka la ola; Mark Brady, Woyang'anira Maintenance Airport omwe amayang'anira kukonzanso mpanda wozungulira, ndi Shannon Gardai Pat Keating ndi Brian Jackman, omwe adatumikira monga "Member in Charge," omwe ali ndi udindo wotsimikizira kuti ufulu wa omangidwawo ukulemekezedwa komanso kuti sazunzidwa.
Ngakhale kuti omwe akutsutsa akuyang'ana kutsimikizira kuti Mayers ndi Kauff adadula dzenje mumpanda wozungulira ndikulowa mubwalo la ndege popanda chilolezo, zomwe amavomereza mosavuta, kwa omwe akuimbidwa mlandu, nkhani yaikulu ya mlanduwu ikupitiriza kugwiritsa ntchito US ku eyapoti ya Shannon ngati malo ankhondo. , kupangitsa Ireland kukhala pachiwopsezo pakuwukira ndi ntchito zake zosaloledwa. Mayers anati: “Chinthu chofunika kwambiri kuti tituluke pamlanduwu n’chakuti oimira osankhidwa a ku Ireland komanso anthu onse azizindikira kufunika kwa kusalowerera ndale kwa anthu a ku Ireland ndiponso kuopseza kwakukulu kobwera chifukwa cha kupusitsa maboma a dziko la United States padziko lonse. .”
Mayers adanenanso kuti njira yodzitetezera inali "chowiringula chovomerezeka," mwachitsanzo, anali ndi chifukwa chomveka cha zomwe adachita. Njira imeneyi, yomwe ku United States imadziwika kuti "chitetezo chofunikira," sichipambana pamilandu ya zionetsero ku United States, chifukwa oweruza nthawi zambiri salola kuti amilandu azikangana nawo. Iye anati, “Ngati oweruza atipeza kuti tilibe mlandu chifukwa cha malamulo a ku Ireland oti tipeze zifukwa zomveka, ndi chitsanzo champhamvu chomwe dziko la United States liyenera kutsatiridwanso.”
Panali mutu winanso womwe udatuluka muumboni lero: Kauff ndi Mayers adafotokozedwa padziko lonse lapansi kuti ndi aulemu komanso ogwirizana. Anati a Garda Keating, "mwinamwake anali oyang'anira awiri abwino kwambiri omwe ndidakhala nawo m'zaka 25." Apolisi Ozimitsa Moto pa Airport a Moloney anapitanso patsogolo: "Sinali gulu langa loyamba lochita ziwonetsero zamtendere," adatero, koma awiriwa anali "abwino komanso aulemu kwambiri omwe ndakumana nawo m'zaka zanga 19 ku Shannon Airport."
