Abasirikare b'ingabo za Amerika bo mu ngabo za Arizona National Guard bayobora ba mukerarugendo bafatiwe mu myuzure y'imvura mu ndege ya UH-60 Blackhawk, ku wa Gatandatu, tariki ya 24 Kanama 2024, ku Kibanza cya Havasupai i Supai, Ariz. (Maj. Erin Hannigan / Ingabo za Amerika zinyuze kuri AP) ASSOCIATED PRESS SANTA FE, NM (AP) - Umwuzure w'imvura wahinduye urukurikirane rw'amazi meza y'ubururu ahinduka ifuro ry'umukara ritangaje wari ukaze ariko ntabwo wari usanzwe mu gihe cy'imvura yo mu mpeshyi ku Kibanza cya Havasupai, kimwe mu bice bya kure cyane by'umugabane wa Amerika bikurura abashyitsi ku isi yose.
Ariko kuri iyi nshuro amazi menshi yatumye abantu amagana bagenda birukanka bagana ahantu hirengeye - bamwe bari mu mfuruka no mu buvumo mu nkuta z'umugezi - bahita bapfa. Umugore yajyanywe mu ruzi rwa Colorado muri Grand Canyon, akora igikorwa cyo gushakisha no gutabara cyakozwe n'ikigo cy'igihugu gishinzwe pariki mu buryo budasanzwe butari kugerwaho na terefone zigendanwa, mu migezi yo mu butayu aho abantu bashobora kuhagera gusa hakoreshejwe amaguru, inyumbu cyangwa kajugujugu. Nyuma y'iminsi itatu, itsinda ry'abantu bakoraga ingendo mu mazi ryakemuye ikibazo cyo gushakisha. Nyuma y'aho, abarokotse n'abatabazi bakomeje inkuru z'akababaro, gushimira no kubaha amazi yahindutse urugomo rutunguranye.
Imvura ya mbere, hanyuma akajagari
Umunsi w’umwuzure watangiye mbere y’uko izuba ricya ku banyamaguru bamanukaga mu kibaya cy’ibiti byinshi bakora urugendo rw’ibirometero 13 mu nzira zo gusubira inyuma berekeza mu mudugudu uri mu mutima w’agace ka Havasupai.
Bavuye aho, ba mukerarugendo bagenda berekeza ahantu nyaburanga ho ku rwego rwo hejuru — urukurikirane rw'amasumo meza n'ahantu ho gukambika ku nkengero z'umugezi. Amazi yo muri ako kagezi asanzwe ari ubururu n'icyatsi kibisi akurura ba mukerarugendo baturutse impande zose z'isi.
Umuganga w’umubiri witwa Hanna St. Denis w’imyaka 33, yavuye i Los Angeles ajya kureba ibyiza nyaburanga mu rugendo rwe rwa mbere rwo gutwara umufuka mu ijoro ryose, ari kumwe n’inshuti ye, bafashe inzira mbere y’uko umuseke ukeye ku wa kane ushize, bagera ku masumo atatu akomeye ku manywa y’ihangu.
Imvura yoroheje yaraguye. Munsi y'amasumo ya Beaver, umuntu woga yabonye umugezi urimo kwihuta cyane. Amazi yatangiye kumera mu nkuta z'umugezi, akura amabuye ubwo umugezi wahindukaga ibara rya shokora kandi ukabyimba.
“Byari bitangiye kugenda bihinduka umukara buhoro buhoro ku nkengero no kwaguka, hanyuma turasohoka,” St. Denis yagize ati. We n'abandi bagenzi be bazamutse urwego bajya ahantu hirengeye nta nzira yo kumanuka kuko amazi yazamukaga. “Twarebaga ibiti binini bikurwamo imizi, biva mu butaka.”
Nta buryo yari afite bwo guhamagara ngo ahabwe ubufasha cyangwa ngo arebe hafi y'aho hari ikibaya.
Mu kigo cyo hafi aho cyo gukambika, Michael Langer w'imyaka 55 wo muri Fountain Hills, muri Arizona, yabonye amazi asohoka mu mwobo avuye ahandi hantu.
“Nyuma y’amasegonda icumi, umwe mu bagize umuryango yaje yiruka mu nkambi avuza induru ati ‘Umwuzure w’imvura, guhunga byihutirwa, hungira ahantu hirengeye,’” Langer yabigarutseho.
Hafi aho, amasumo ya Mooney yari yuzuye cyane, ubwo abantu bari banyoye amazi birukaga bajya ku gisenge gishaje maze bihisha mu mazi.
Ibimenyetso by'ihungabana
Saa saba n'igice z'umugoroba abayobozi ba Pariki y'Igihugu ya Grand Canyon iri hafi y'ubutaka bwa Havasupai batangiye kwakira amakuru ajyanye n'ibiza aturutse ku bikoresho bikoresha icyogajuru bishobora kohereza ubutumwa bwa SOS, ubutumwa bugufi n'amajwi aho telefoni zigendanwa zitagera.
“Kubera ko icyo kibaya cyari gito cyane, biragoye cyane gutangaza itumanaho; nta buryo bwo gusobanukirwa neza ingano y’ubuzima bw’abantu batakaje cyangwa bakomeretse bwabayeho mbere,” ibi byavuzwe na Joelle Baird, umuvugizi wa pariki.
Pariki yari ihanganye n'amakuru akabije y'abantu benshi baguye muri iyo mpanuka ariko yemeje ko hari ikintu giteye ubwoba. Abantu babiri bagendaga mu misozi miremire - umugabo n'umugore - bari batwawe n'umwuzure ubwo bagendaga hafi y'aho umugezi wa Havasu wisuka mu ruzi rwa Colorado.
Baird yavuze ko saa yine z'umugoroba, ikiruhuko cy'ikirere cyatumye pariki yohereza kajugujugu no gutegura igenzura ryihuse muri ako gace.
Andrew Nickerson, umugabo we, yatowe muri iryo joro n'itsinda ry'abantu bari ku bwato mu gace k'uruzi ka Grand Canyon kari ku ntera ya kilometero 450.
Nyuma Nickerson yanditse ku mbuga nkoranyambaga ati: “Nari nsigaje amasegonda make ntegereje urupfu ubwo umuntu ntazi yasimbukaga ava mu bwato bwe bw’uruzi maze agashyira ubuzima bwe mu kaga nta gushidikanya kugira ngo ankize amazi yari arimo ahinduka umuraba.”
Umugore we, Chenoa Nickerson w'imyaka 33, yajyanywe mu muyoboro munini w'uruzi ariko nta muntu umubona. Ku wa gatanu hasohotse amakuru ashakisha umugore w'umukara waburiwe irengero, muremure ufite amaso y'ubururu. Kimwe n'abandi benshi basura umujyi wa Havasupai, ntabwo yari yambaye ikoti ry'ubutabazi.
Igihe cy'umwuzure w'imvura nyinshi
Inzobere mu by’ikirere muri Leta ya Arizona, Erinanne Saffell, yavuze ko umwuzure w’imvura wanyuze muri icyo kibaya wari mwinshi ariko utari usanzwe, ndetse hatabayeho gutekereza ku bushyuhe bw’isi buterwa n’abantu bwatumye habaho imihindagurikire y’ikirere ikomeye.
Yagize ati: “Ni igice cy’igihe cyacu cy’imvura nyinshi kandi imvura igwa nta hantu ibona ho kujya, bityo ishobora kunyura no guteza ingaruka mbi nyinshi ku bantu bari mu nzira.”
Dushobora gutanga uburyo butandukanye bwo kugenzura amazi, gukurikirana mu buryo nyabwo amakuru y'umuvuduko w'amazi:
