Urhulumente uqhuba uphononongo olubanzi lwe-intshi nganye yeendlela zayo emva kokuba uphando lwe-10 lungenise i-database esiyiqulunqe kwiSebe lezoThutho laseFlorida.
"I-FDOT iqhuba uhlolo lwazo zonke iindawo zokugada ezifakwe kwiindlela zikarhulumente kulo lonke elaseFlorida."
UCharles “Charlie” Pike, ngoku uhlala eBelvedere, e-Illinois, akazange athethe nayo nayiphi na intatheli ngaphambili kodwa uxelele i-10 Investigates, “Lixesha lokubalisa ibali lam.”
Ibali lakhe laqala ngo-Oktobha 29, 2010 kwi-State Route 33 eGroveland, eFlorida.Wayengumkhweli kwiveni.
“Ndikhumbula indlela esasiqhuba ngayo…saphambuka saphoswa yiLabrador okanye inja enkulu.Sajika ngolu hlobo – sabetha udaka nomva wetayara – yaze ilori yatyibilika kancinci,” ucacise watsho uPike.
"Ngokokwazi kwam, ucingo kufuneka lwaphuke njengeakhodiyoni, uhlobo oluthile lwesithinteli ... le nto idlule kwilori njengehabhu," watsho uPike.
I-guardrail ibaleka kwilori ukuya kwicala labakhweli, apho iPike ikhona.Uthe khange acinge ukuba ukukhaba kube nzima ngolo hlobo de waqala ukushukumisa umlenze wakhe ecingweni.
Abahlanguli kuye kwafuneka babeke ubomi babo esichengeni bezama ukukhupha uPike elorini.Wakhweliswa ngenqwelomoya kwiZiko lezoNyango loMmandla eOrlando.
“Ndavuka ndafumanisa ukuba andinawo umlenze wasekhohlo,” utshilo uPike.Ndacinga: "Mama, ngaba ndiphulukene nomlenze wam?"Kwaye wathi, “Ewe.“…ndivele…andichaphazela amanzi.Ndaqalisa ukulila.Andiqondi ukuba ndenzakele.”
UPike uthe uchithe ixesha elingangeveki esibhedlele phambi kokuba akhululwe.Wahamba kukhathalelo olunzulu ukuze afunde ukuhamba kwakhona.Wafakwa iprothesis ngaphantsi kwedolo.
“Okwangoku, ndingathi malunga nebanga lesi-4 liqhelekile,” watsho uPike, ebhekisa kwiintlungu eziqala kwibanga le-10. “Ngemini embi xa kubanda… iNqanaba lama-27.”
“Ndinomsindo kuba ukuba bekungekho zicingo, yonke into ibinokulunga,” utshilo uPike."Ndiziva ndiqhathiwe kwaye ndinomsindo kakhulu ngayo yonke le meko."
Emva kwengozi, uParker wamangalela iSebe lezoThutho laseFlorida.Isimangalo sityhola ukuba ilori yantlitheka kwindawo engafanelekanga yokugada amabanjwa aseFlorida kwaye urhulumente akazange angakhathali “ekusileleni kwawo ukugcina, ukusebenza, ukulungisa nokugcina” iState Highway 33 ikwimeko ekhuselekileyo.
“Ukuba uza kukhupha into yokunceda abantu, kufuneka uqinisekise ukuba yakhiwe ngendlela efanelekileyo yokunceda abantu,” utshilo uPike.
Kodwa abaPhandi abali-10, kunye nabameli bokhuseleko, bafumana intaphane yocingo olubiyelweyo kulo lonke ilizwe kwiminyaka eli-10 emva kwengozi kaPike.
Uphando lweDigest: Kwiinyanga ezine ezidlulileyo, i-10 yentatheli yaseTampa Bay uJennifer Titus, umvelisi uLibby Hendren, kunye nekhamera uCarter Schumacher baye bahamba kulo lonke elaseFlorida bade batyelela e-Illinois, befumana iindawo zokugada ezifakwe ngendlela engafanelekanga kwiindlela zombuso.Ukuba i-guardrail ifakwe ngokungalunganga, ayiyi kusebenza njengoko ivavanyiwe, isenza ezinye iindawo zokugada "izilo".Iqela lethu libafumene ukusuka kwi-Key West ukuya e-Orlando kwaye ukusuka eSarasota ukuya eTallahassee.ISebe lezoThutho laseFlorida ngoku liqhuba uhlolo olubanzi lwe-intshi nganye ye-guardrail.
Siye saqulunqa uvimba weenkcukacha zeerayili ezilahlekileyo eMiami, Interstate 4, I-75, kunye nePlant City - iinyawo nje ezimbalwa ukusuka kwikomkhulu leSebe lezoThutho laseFlorida eTallahassee.
“Indudumo yabetha umgaqo kaloliwe apho ibingafanele ukuba khona.Kuthekani ukuba abanakuzikhusela bona okanye iRhuluneli uDeSantis?Lo nto kufuneka itshintshe – kufuneka iphume kwisiko labo,” utshilo uSteve Allen, okhuthaza iindlela ezikhuselekileyo,” utshilo uMerce.
Iqela lethu lisebenze ne-Eimers ukwenza idatabase yeecingo ezingafanelekanga.Sibeka iingcingo ngokungakhethiyo kulo lonke ilizwe kwaye songeze kuluhlu lwethu.
“Ukubaleka uye ekupheleni kocingo, ukubetha ucingo, inokuba sisenzo sobundlobongela.Iziphumo zinokuba zinomtsalane kwaye zimbi.Kulula ukuyihoya into yokuba ibholithi enye – enye kwindawo engalunganga – ingakubulala.Indawo ejonge phantsi iyakubulala,” utshilo uAmes.
USteve ngugqirha we-ER, hayi injineli.Zange aye esikolweni ayokufunda ukubiya.Kodwa ubomi buka-Ames batshintsha ngonaphakade ngocingo.
“Kwanikelwa ingxelo yokuba ndiyazi ukuba intombi yam ikwimeko emaxongo.Ndabuza, “Ngaba kuya kubakho nayiphi na into yokuhamba,” bathi, “Hayi,” watsho uAmes.“Ngelo xesha, kwakungekho mfuneko yokuba amapolisa ankqonkqoze emnyango.Ndandisazi ukuba intombi yam ifile.
“Usweleke ebomini bethu ngomhla wama-31 [Okthobha] kwaye asizange siphinde simbone,” utshilo u-Ames.“Kukho umjelo phezu kwentloko yakhe…asizange simbone nokumbona okokugqibela, nto leyo endikhokelela ezantsi kumngxunya womvundla endingekanyuki kuwo.”
Saqhagamshelana no-Eimers ngoDisemba, kwaye kwiiveki ezimbalwa zokusebenza kunye naye, ugcino-lwazi lwethu lwafumana iingcingo ezingama-72 ezilahlekileyo.
“Ndiyibonile le pesenti incinci, incinci.Mhlawumbi sithetha ngamakhulu ocingo ebenokufakwa ngendlela engeyiyo,” utshilo uAmes.
Unyana kaChristie noMike DeFilippo, uHunter Burns, usweleke emva kokubetha unogada ongafakwanga kakuhle.
Esi sibini ngoku sihlala eLouisiana kodwa sihlala sibuyela kwindawo apho kwabulawa khona unyana wabo oneminyaka engama-22 ubudala.
Sele kudlule iminyaka emithathu oko kwenzeka le ntlekele, kodwa iimvakalelo zabantu zisenamandla, ngakumbi xa bebona ucango lwelori olunocango lwentsimbi olunomhlwa, olukwiimitha nje ezimbalwa ukusuka kwindawo yengozi.
Ngokutsho kwabo, ucango lwelori olunomhlwa lwaluyinxalenye yelori awayeyiqhuba uHunter ngentsasa yomhla woku-1 kuMatshi ka-2020.
UChristy ungene wathi: “UHunter wayengoyena mfo umangalisayo.Walayita igumbi ngomzuzu engena.Wayengoyena mntu uqaqambileyo.Baninzi abantu ababemthanda.”
Ngokutsho kwabo, le ngozi yenzeke ngentseni yangeCawe.UChristie ukhumbula ukuba xa beva kunkqonkqozwa emnyango, kwakungu-6:46 kusasa.
“Ndatsiba ebhedini kwaye kwakukho amagosa amabini eFlorida Highway Patrol emi apho.Basixelela ukuba uHunter wenze ingozi kwaye akazange aphumelele,” utshilo uChristie.
Ngokwengxelo yengozi, iloli kaHunter yangqubana nokuphela kwendlela yokulinda.Impembelelo ibangele ukuba ilori ijike ngasekunene phambi kokuba ibhukuqe kwaye ingqubeke kuphawu olukhulu lwendlela.
“Eli lelinye lamaqhinga othusayo endakha ndawafumana anxulumene nengozi yemoto eyabulala abantu abaninzi.Kufuneka bafumanise ukuba kwenzeke njani kwaye akusayi kuphinda yenzeke.Sasinomfana oneminyaka engama-22 ubudala owawela kumqondiso wendlela waza watsha."Ewe.Ndinomsindo kwaye ndicinga ukuba abantu baseFlorida bafanele ukuba nomsindo nabo,” utshilo u-Ames.
Sifunda ukuba ucingo olwenziwa nguBurns alufakwanga ngokungalunganga kuphela, kodwa kunye neFrankenstein.
"UFrankenstein ubuyela eFrankenstein i-monster.Kuxa uthatha amalungu kwiinkqubo ezahlukeneyo kwaye uwaxube kunye,” utshilo u-Eimers.
"Ngexesha lengozi, i-ET-Plus guardrail yayingekho kwimimiselo yoyilo ngenxa yofakelo olungafanelekanga.I-guardrail ayikwazanga ukudlula kwintloko ye-extrusion kuba i-terminal isebenzisa inkqubo yokuncamathisela intambo ebotshelelwe kwi-guardrail kunokuba ilungelelanise.Ukukhutshwa kwehuku Ukutya, kuyacakwa kunye nokutyibilika kwisixhobo sokufunxa ukothuka.Ke xa unogada etshayiswa yilori yakwaFord, isiphelo kunye nomlindi badlula kwicala labakhweli elingaphambili, ihood kunye nomgangatho welori yakwaFord ukuya kwigumbi labo labakhweli.
Uvimba weenkcukacha esiwudalileyo kunye no-Eimers awubandakanyi nje kuphela iingcingo ezifakwe ngokungachanekanga, kodwa nazo ezi Frankensteins.
“Andizange ndikubone kufuneka usebenze nzima ukufaka imveliso engalunganga.Kulula kakhulu ukuyenza ngokuchanekileyo,” utshilo uAmes, ebhekisa kwingozi kaBurns.Andazi ukuba uyimoshe njani ngoluhlobo.Makungabikho malungu kuyo, faka iinxalenye ezingenazo zale nkqubo.Ndiyathemba ukuba i-FDOT iphanda le ngozi ngakumbi.Kufuneka bafumanise ukuba kuqhubeka ntoni apha.“
Sithumele i-database kuNjingalwazi uKevin Shrum weYunivesithi yaseAlabama eBirmingham.Iinjineli zokwakha ziyavuma ukuba kukho ingxaki.
"Ubukhulu becala, ndiye ndakwazi ukuqinisekisa into ayithethileyo kwaye ndafumanisa ezinye izinto ezininzi zingalunganga," utshilo uSchrum."Inyani yokuba zininzi iibhugi ezihlala zihleli kwaye kwaezo bugs zixhalabile."
“Uneekontraka ezifakela iirayile kwaye ngoyena mthombo wofakelo lwetrayile kwilizwe lonke, kodwa xa abafakeli bengazi ukuba i-surfacing kufuneka isebenze njani, kwiimeko ezininzi baye bayeke ukuseta ukuba kuqhube,” utshilo uSchrum.."Basika imingxunya apho bacinga ukuba kufanele ukuba babe khona, okanye bagqobhoze imingxunya apho bacinga ukuba kufanelekile, kwaye ukuba abaqondi ukusebenza kwetheminali, abayi kuqonda ukuba kutheni kubi okanye kungalunganga."ayisebenzi.
Sifumene le vidiyo yokufundisa kwiphepha le-YouTube le-arhente, apho uDerwood Sheppard, iNjineli yoYilo lweNdlela ePhezulu yeSizwe, ithetha ngokubaluleka kofakelo olululo lokugada.
“Kubaluleke kakhulu ukufakela ezi zixhobo ngendlela yovavanyo lwengozi kwaye nemiyalelo yokufakela ikuxelela ukuba ukwenze ngokwento okunike yona umenzi.Kuba ukuba awenzi njalo, uyazi ukuba ukuqinisa inkqubo kunokukhokelela kwiziphumo ozibona esikrinini, oonogada bayagoba kwaye bangakhuphi ngokufanelekileyo, okanye benze ingozi yokungena kwikhabhathi,” utshilo uSheppard kwividiyo yokufundisa yeYouTube..
UDeFilippos akakakwazi ukuqonda ukuba olu cingo lwafika njani endleleni.
“Ingqondo yam yomntu ayiyiqondi indlela esengqiqweni ngayo le nto.I don't understand how can die abantu ezizinto and still abakafakwa ncam ngabantu aba unqualified so I guess yingxaki yam leyo.UChristy watsho."Uthatha ubomi bomnye umntu ezandleni zakho kuba ungayenzanga kakuhle okokuqala."
Abavavanyi kuphela i-intshi nganye yeendlela zokugada koohola belizwe eFlorida, “isebe liphinda libethelela ukhuseleko kunye nokubaluleka kwemigaqo-nkqubo yethu kunye neenkqubo zabasebenzi kunye neekontraka ezinoxanduva lokufakela nokuhlola iindawo zokugada kunye nezithinteli.Indlela yethu.”
“ISebe lezoThutho laseFlorida (i-FDOT) eyona nto iphambili lukhuseleko, kwaye i-FDOT izithathela ingqalelo kakhulu iinkxalabo zakho.Isiganeko sika-2020 esibandakanya uMnu Burns osikhankanyileyo yayiyilahleko ebuhlungu yobomi kwaye i-FDOT ifikelela kusapho lwakhe.
“Ngolwazi lwakho, i-FDOT ifakele malunga neemayile ezingama-4,700 zemiqobo kunye ne-2,655 yezinto ezithintela ukothuka kwiindlela zethu zombuso.Isebe linemigaqo-nkqubo neenkqubo zazo zonke izixhobo ezisetyenziswa kumaziko ethu, kubandakanywa oonogada nezithulisi.Ukufakwa kweecingo kunye nokulungiswa kwenkonzo.kusetyenziswa amacandelo ayilwe kwaye akhethwe ngokukodwa kwindawo nganye, ukusetyenziswa, kunye nokuhambelana.Zonke iimveliso ezisetyenziswa kwizibonelelo zeSebe kufuneka zenziwe ngabavelisi abavunywe liSebe, njengoko oku kunceda ukuqinisekisa ukuhambelana kwecandelo.Kwakhona, khangela zonke iindawo zokulinda ezimbini ngonyaka okanye ngokukhawuleza emva komonakalo.
“Isebe likwasebenza nzima ukuphumeza imigangatho yamva nje yovavanyo lwengozi ngexesha elifanelekileyo.Umgaqo-nkqubo we-FDOT ufuna ukuba zonke izinto ezikhoyo zofakelo lwe-guardrail zihlangabezane nemigangatho yovavanyo lwe-crash ye-NCHRP Report 350 (IiNkqubo eziCetyisiweyo zokuHlola ukuSebenza koKhuseleko eziNdleleni).Ukongezelela, kwi-2014, i-FDOT iphuhlise isicwangciso sokuphunyezwa ngokwamkela i-AASHTO Equipment Safety Assessment Manual (MASH), umgangatho wokuvavanya ukuphahlazeka kwangoku.Isebe lihlaziye imigangatho yalo yokugada kunye noluhlu lwemveliso oluvunyiweyo ukuze lifune zonke izixhobo ezitsha ezifakwe okanye ezitshintshwe ngokupheleleyo ukuba zithobele iimfuno ze-MASH.Ngaphezu koko, ngo-2019, iSebe layalela ukuba batshintshwe bonke oonogada be-X-lite kuzwelonke ngo-2009. Ngenxa yoko, bonke oonogada be-X-lite baye basuswa kwizakhiwo zethu zelizwe lonke.
