Ozemba milandu ndi chitetezo adamaliza milandu yawo lero pamlandu wa Shannon Awiri, asitikali awiri aku US omwe adamangidwa chifukwa cholowa mubwalo la ndege ku Shannon Airport pa Marichi 17, 2019.
Tarak Kauff, 80, ndi Ken Mayers, 85, adakwera bwalo la ndege kuti akawone ndege iliyonse yokhudzana ndi asitikali aku US omwe anali pa eyapoti. Panalidi ndege zitatu kumeneko panthawiyo—ndege ya Marine Corps Cessna, ndi ndege ya Air Force Transport C40, ndi ndege imodzi ya Omni Air International yogwirizana ndi asilikali a ku United States amene amakhulupirira kuti inkanyamula asilikali ndi zida kudutsa bwalo la ndege popita. kunkhondo zosaloledwa ku Middle East, kuphwanya kusalowerera ndale kwa Ireland komanso malamulo apadziko lonse lapansi.
Otsutsawo sakutsutsa zoti adapanga dzenje mumpanda wa bwalo la ndege ndikulowa m'derali popanda chilolezo. Akuti adachita izi "chifukwa chovomerezeka," kuti awonetsetse za kayendedwe kosaloledwa kwa asitikali ndi zida kudzera pamalopo komanso kukakamiza akuluakulu kuti aziyang'ana ndege, m'malo movomereza zitsimikiziro zaukazembe waku US kuti zida sizikuyenda pa eyapoti. .
Komabe, ambiri mwa osuma mlanduwo anali mboni za apolisi ndi zachitetezo cha pabwalo la ndege zomwe zimafotokoza mwatsatanetsatane zomwe anthuwa anachita komanso zomwe akuluakulu aboma adayankha. Mkati mwa umboniwu, zinaonekeratu kuti ndege za Omni zomwe zinabwereka zinkadziwika kuti zimanyamula asilikali ndipo palibe apolisi kapena apolisi omwe anafufuzapo ndegezo kapena ndege za asilikali a US kuti adziwe ngati pali zida kapena zida. .
mboni ziwiri zomaliza zozenga mlanduwo anali a Colm Moriarty ndi Noel Carroll, onse ochokera ku Shannon Garda (apolisi) Station. Awiriwo adayang'anira zoyankhulana za Kauff ndi Mayers pa tsiku lomwe adamangidwa. Woimira boma adawerenga zolemba za zokambiranazo, zomwe zidatsimikiziridwa ndi apolisi awiriwo.
Zofunsazo zikuwonetsa momveka bwino zolinga za omwe akuimbidwa mlandu polowa mubwalo la ndege. Onse awiri adalongosola momveka bwino kuti akufuna kuyang'ana ndege ya Omni Air International yomwe inali pansi panthawiyo kwa asilikali kapena zida.
Mayers adati ulamuliro wake ndi "udindo wa nzika kuchita zabwino." Atafunsidwa ngati zochita zake zimayika anthu pachiwopsezo, adati, "Ndikuzindikira kuti [mwa] mwayi wopita ku bwalo la ndege ndidapanga chinthu chaching'ono koma chowopsa, komabe, ndikudziwa polola kuti ndege zankhondo zaku US ndi CIA zidutse. Shannon, boma la Ireland likuika anthu ambiri osalakwa pachiwopsezo chachikulu. ”
Kauff anali womveka bwino pazomwe amaika patsogolo. Atafunsidwa ngati amamvetsetsa kuti "chiwonongeko cha upandu" chinali chiyani, adayankha, "Ndikuganiza choncho. Ndi zomwe gulu lankhondo la United States lakhala likuchita kwa nthawi yayitali kwambiri. ” Adafotokozanso "bizinesi yake yovomerezeka ku Shannon Airport" tsiku lomwelo motere: "Monga nzika ya United States komanso ngati msirikali wakale yemwe walumbira popanda tsiku lotha kuteteza Constitution kwa adani onse akunja ndi apakhomo, komanso Pansi pa malamulo a mayiko, Msonkhano wa ku Geneva, ndili ndi udindo wotsutsa zochita zaupandu za boma langa, monganso mmene anachitira Ajeremani, amene sanachite nawo nkhondo yachiŵiri ya padziko lonse ndi ulamuliro wa Nazi.”
Barrister Michael Hourigan adatsegula mlandu wodzitchinjiriza ndikuyika a Mayers pamalo ochitira umboni. Mayers adalongosola momwe abambo ake adamenyera nkhondo yachiwiri yapadziko lonse ndi Nkhondo yaku Korea ngati Msilikali wapamadzi, motero "adamwa kwambiri Marine Kool-Aid" akukula. Anapita ku koleji pa maphunziro a usilikali ndipo analowa nawo gulu la Marines pamene anamaliza maphunziro ake mu 1958. Zaka zisanu ndi zitatu ndi theka pambuyo pake anasiya ntchito yake ataona zimene zinali kuchitika ku Vietnam. Anati a Marines adamuphunzitsa kuti "US siinali mphamvu yamtendere padziko lapansi yomwe ndidawakhulupirira."
Pambuyo pake adalowa nawo gulu lankhondo la Veterans For Peace, ndipo adawerengera oweruza zomwe bungweli likufuna, lomwe limalankhula za kugwira ntchito mopanda chiwawa kuti athetse nkhondo ngati chida cha mfundo zakunja, pakati pa zolinga zina.
Mayers adalongosola kuti, ngakhale adadziwa kuti mwina akuphwanya lamulo ndi zochita zake, adawona kuti ndikofunikira kuletsa kuvulazidwa kwakukulu. Anatchulapo za nkhondo ya ku Yemen, yomwe imathandizidwa ndi zida za US ndi katundu. "Ngakhale lero, anthu aku Yemen akuwopsezedwa ndi njala yayikulu," adatero. "Mwa anthu onse, anthu aku Ireland ayenera kudziwa kufunikira kopewa njala yamtunduwu."
Iye ananenanso kuti pamene ndege zochokera kudziko lankhondo zikatera m’dziko losaloŵerera m’ndale, “dziko limenelo lili ndi thayo pansi pa malamulo a mayiko oyendera [ndege].” Adatchulapo za mgwirizano wa 1907 wa Hague wokhudza kusalowerera ndale wofuna kuti mayiko osalowerera ndale alande zida kumayiko ankhondo.
Adafotokozanso kugwiritsa ntchito Shannon pazifukwa zankhondo ku US ngati "choyipa chachikulu kwa anthu aku Ireland," ndipo adanenanso kuti anthu ambiri aku Ireland amakonda kusalowerera ndale m'dziko lawo. Iye anati: “Ngati tingathandize kuti anthu a ku Ireland asaloŵerere m’ndale,” iye anatero, “zikhoza kupulumutsa miyoyo.”
Mayers adalongosola zomwe adachita ngati "mwayi wabwino kwambiri womwe tinali nawo kuti tithandizire." Iye anati: “Ndinkaona kuti zotsatira za kuphwanya lamulolo sizikhala zazikulu kwa ine chifukwa chosaphwanya lamulolo.” Pokopa gulu lomenyera ufulu wachibadwidwe la US lazaka za m'ma 1960, adati, "Zochita mwachindunji ndi nzika ndiye zomwe zimabweretsa kusintha," kusintha komwe sikungachitike "popanda kulowererapo mwamphamvu kwa nzika."
Atafunsidwa, woimira milandu Tony McGillucuddy adafunsa a Mayers ngati adayesapo njira zina kuti ndege ziyende pa Shannon Airport, monga kupempha akuluakulu aboma kapena kupempha apolisi kuti achite izi. Adadula a Mayers pomwe adayesa kufotokoza chifukwa chomwe sanafufuze njirazi pamlanduwu, koma pakuwongoleranso, a Mayers adaloledwa kufotokoza kuti akudziwa zoyesayesa zambiri za omenyera ufulu waku Ireland kuti adutse njira zonse zomwe woimira boma adatchula. ndi kuti ambiri mwa zoyesayesazi sanalandire nkomwe yankho kuchokera kwa akuluakulu, makamaka kuchitapo kanthu.
Mboni yachiwiri komanso yomaliza yodzitchinjiriza inali Tarak Kauff, yemwe, mosiyana ndi kamvekedwe ka Mayers, ngakhale atafunsidwa mafunso ovuta komanso nthawi zina otsutsa, adawonetsa mwachidwi kukhumudwa komanso kukwiya kwake ndikugwiritsa ntchito usilikali wa US ku Shannon.
Pofunsidwa ndi woimira chitetezo Carol Doherty, Kauff adalongosola kulowa usilikali ali ndi zaka 17 ndikutuluka mu 1962, monga momwe kulowererapo kwa US ku Vietnam War kunali kukulirakulira. Anakhala wotsutsa nkhondo, kutchula "udindo wake monga munthu komanso ngati msilikali wakale wotsutsa ndi kutsutsa kutentha kumeneku."
Adaphunzira koyamba za kutenga nawo gawo kwankhondo yaku US ku Shannon Airport ku 2016, kuchokera kwa asitikali ankhondo omwe amakhazikitsa Veterans For Peace Ireland. "Ndinkakhulupirira kuti unali udindo wanga wamakhalidwe ndi umunthu ... kuti ndiwonetsetse nkhaniyi," adatero pamene ana akumwalira. Atafunsidwa za kuphwanya lamulo ndi zochita zake, iye anati, "Ndikunena za malamulo apadziko lonse, milandu ya nkhondo, nkhondo zosaloledwa. Ndi udindo wa aliyense.”
Kauff adabwerera ku Ireland mu 2018 ku msonkhano wamtendere, ndipo panthawiyo adachita zionetsero mkati mwa Shannon terminal, pogwiritsa ntchito mbendera yomweyi yomwe iye ndi Mayers adachita pabwalo la ndege mu 2019. Atafunsidwa ngati akuganiza kuti izi zakhala zothandiza, adatero. , “Penapake,” koma kuti ndege zinali zikubwerabe kudzera ku Shannon.
Anawayerekezera ndi kufunika kothyola m’nyumba yoyaka moto kuti apulumutse ana m’kati mwake: “Zimene US inali kuchita, mogwirizana ndi boma la Ireland,” zinali ngati nyumba yoyaka moto.
Pofunsidwa mafunso, McGillicuddy adawonetsa kuti Kauff adadula dzenje mpanda wa bwalo la ndege, pomwe adayankha kuti: "Inde, ndidawononga mpanda, ndimachita zomwe ndimakhulupirira," adatero. Iye ananenanso kuti “boma la United States ndi la Ireland akhala akuphwanya malamulo. Anthu aku Ireland akudwala komanso kutopa ndi boma lawo lomwe likupita ku US Ndilo vuto pano! ”
"Pali cholinga chachikulu pano kuposa lamulo lomwe limati sungalawe, kuti sungathe kudula mpanda," adatero Kauff.
Adalankhula mokhudzidwa mtima za momwe adadziwira omenyera nkhondo omwe adadutsa ku Shannon ndi zida zawo, komanso momwe abwenzi ake akale adadzipha, osatha kukhala ndi zomwe adachita pankhondo zaku US ku Afghanistan ndi Middle East. “Ndiko kuwononga kwenikweni … Kuwononga mpanda sichabe. Palibe amene adamwalira ndipo ndiyenera kuyembekezera kuti inunso mumvetse izi. "
Nthawi zina zimakhala zovuta kuyeza zotsatira za ndale, koma zikuwonekeratu kuti Kauff ndi Mayers adayatsa moto mu gulu la Ireland lamtendere ndi kusalowerera ndale ndi zochita zawo ku Shannon ndi kulengeza kotsatira pamene anatsekeredwa m'ndende kwa milungu iwiri kenako kukakamizidwa. kukhala m’dzikolo kwa miyezi ina isanu ndi itatu asanabwezedwe mapasipoti awo kwayatsa moto m’bungwe la mtendere la Ireland.
Atafunsidwa ngati akuona kuti ntchito yake yobweretsa mtendere inali yothandiza, Mayers ananena kuti “analandira ndemanga zochokera kwa anthu amene akhudzidwa ndi zimene ndinachita.” Anajambula fanizo la Grand Canyon, lomwe anati linapangidwa ndi madontho osawerengeka a madzi. Monga wotsutsa, iye anati, anadzimva “ngati limodzi la madontho amadzi aja.”
