Ke alakaʻi nei ka mokuʻāina i kahi loiloi piha o kēlā me kēia ʻīniha o kona mau alanui ma hope o 10 mau noiʻi i waiho i ka waihona a mākou i hōʻuluʻulu ai i ke Keʻena ʻOihana ʻo Florida.
"Ke alakaʻi nei ka FDOT i ka nānā ʻana i nā kiaʻi āpau i kau ʻia ma nā alanui mokuʻāina ma Florida."
ʻO Charles "Charlie" Pike, e noho nei i Belvedere, Illinois, ʻaʻole i kamaʻilio me kekahi mea hoʻolaha ma mua akā ua haʻi ʻo 10 Investigates, "ʻO ka manawa kēia e haʻi i kaʻu moʻolelo."
Ua hoʻomaka kāna moʻolelo ma ʻOkakopa 29, 2010 ma ke Alanui Mokuʻāina 33 ma Groveland, Florida.He kaʻa ʻo ia ma ke kaʻa huki.
“Ke hoʻomanaʻo nei au i ko mākou holo kaʻa ʻana.Huli mākou e like me kēia - ua pā mākou i ka ʻōpala a me ke kua o ke kaʻa - a hili iki ke kaʻa," wahi a Pike.
"E like me kaʻu i ʻike ai, pono e haki ka pā e like me ka accordion, kekahi ʻano pale ... hele kēia mea i loko o ke kaʻa me he harpoon," wahi a Pike.
Holo ka pale kiaʻi ma ke kaʻa kaʻa a hiki i ka ʻaoʻao kaʻa, kahi o Pike.Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ʻaʻole i manaʻo ʻo ia ka paʻakikī o ke kīkē a hiki i kona hoʻomaka ʻana e neʻe i kona wāwae ma ka pā.
Pono nā mea hoʻopakele e hoʻoweliweli i ko lākou ola e hoʻāʻo ana e hoʻokuʻu iā Pike mai ke kaʻa.Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo ia i Orlando Regional Medical Center.
"Ua ala wau a ʻike wau ʻaʻohe oʻu wāwae hema," wahi a Pike."Ua noʻonoʻo wau: "Mama, ua nalowale koʻu wāwae?"A ʻōlelo ʻo ia, "ʻAe.“…ʻO wau wale nō… ua pili ka wai iaʻu.Hoʻomaka wau e uē.Manaʻo wau ʻaʻole wau i ʻeha.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Pike ua noho ʻo ia ma kahi o hoʻokahi pule ma ka haukapila ma mua o kona hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana.Ua hele ʻo ia ma ka mālama koʻikoʻi e aʻo hou i ka hele wāwae.Ua hoʻokomo ʻia ʻo ia me kahi prosthesis ma lalo o ke kuli.
"I kēia manawa, ʻōlelo wau ma kahi o ka papa 4 he mea maʻamau," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Pike, e pili ana i ka ʻeha e hoʻomaka ana ma ka papa 10. "I ka lā ʻino ke anuanu… Papa 27."
"Ua huhū au no ka mea inā ʻaʻohe pā, ua maikaʻi nā mea a pau," wahi a Pike."Manaʻo wau i ka hoʻopunipuni a huhū loa i kēia kūlana holoʻokoʻa."
Ma hope o ka ulia pōpilikia, ua waiho ʻo Parker i kahi hoʻopiʻi kūʻē i ke Keʻena ʻOihana ʻo Florida.ʻO ka hoʻopiʻi hoʻopiʻi ua hāʻule ke kaʻa i nā pā hale paʻahao Florida i hoʻokomo pono ʻole ʻia a ua haʻalele ka mokuʻāina i kāna "hana ʻole i ka mālama, hana, hoʻoponopono, a mālama ʻia" State Highway 33 i kahi kūlana palekana.
"Inā ʻoe e hoʻokuʻu i kahi mea e kōkua ai i ka poʻe, pono ʻoe e hōʻoia ua kūkulu ʻia ke ala kūpono e kōkua ai i nā poʻe," wahi a Pike.
Akā ʻo 10 Investigates, me nā mea kākoʻo palekana, ua ʻike i ka nui o nā pā i kuhi hewa ʻia ma ka mokuʻāina he 10 mau makahiki ma hope o ka hāʻule ʻana o Pike.
Investigative Digest: I nā mahina ʻehā i hala iho nei, ua huakaʻi ʻo 10 Tampa Bay reporter Jennifer Titus, ka mea hana ʻo Libby Hendren, a me Carter Schumacher i ka mea paʻi kiʻi a puni ʻo Florida a kipa aku iā Illinois, me ka ʻike ʻana i nā kiaʻi i hoʻokomo pono ʻia ma nā alanui mokuʻāina.Inā hoʻokomo pololei ʻia ka guardrail, ʻaʻole ia e hana e like me ka mea i hoʻāʻo ʻia, e hana ana i kekahi mau kiaʻi "monsters".Ua loaʻa i kā mākou hui iā lākou mai Key West a Orlando a mai Sarasota a Tallahassee.Ke alakaʻi nei ke Keʻena ʻOihana ʻo Florida i ka nānā piha ʻana i kēlā me kēia ʻīniha o ke kiaʻi.
Ua hōʻuluʻulu mākou i kahi waihona o nā kiaʻi i waiho ʻia ma Miami, Interstate 4, I-75, a me Plant City – he mau kapuaʻi wale nō mai ke keʻena poʻo ʻo Florida Department of Transportation ma Tallahassee.
“Ua hahau ka hekili ma ke alahao ma kahi pono ole.He aha inā ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke pale iā lākou iho a i ʻole Kiaʻāina DeSantis?Pono e hoʻololi - pono ia mai kā lākou moʻomeheu, "wahi a Steve Allen, ka mea e kākoʻo nei i nā alanui palekana," wahi a Merce.
Ua hana pū kā mākou hui me Eimers e hoʻokumu i kahi waihona o nā pā i kuhi hewa ʻia.Hoʻonoho paʻa mākou i nā pā a puni ka mokuʻāina a hoʻohui iā lākou i kā mākou papa inoa.
“ʻO ka holo ʻana i ka hope o ka pā, ka pā ʻana i ka pā, hiki ke hana ʻino loa.Hiki i nā hopena ke hoʻonani a maikaʻi ʻole.He mea maʻalahi ka nānā ʻana i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo o hoʻokahi bolt - hoʻokahi ma kahi hewa - hiki ke pepehi iā ʻoe.ʻO ka ʻaoʻao i lalo e pepehi iā ʻoe, "wahi a Ames.
He kauka ER ʻo Steve, ʻaʻole he ʻenekinia.ʻAʻole ʻo ia i hele i ke kula e aʻo i ka pā.Akā ua hoʻololi mau ʻia ke ola o Ames e ka pā.
"Ua hōʻike ʻia ua ʻike wau aia kaʻu kaikamahine i ke kūlana koʻikoʻi.Nīnau au, "E loaʻa paha kahi huakaʻi," a ʻōlelo lākou, "ʻAʻole," wahi a Ames.“I kēlā manawa, ʻaʻole pono wau i nā mākaʻi e kīkēkē i koʻu puka.Ua ʻike au ua make kaʻu kaikamahine.
"Ua hala ʻo ia i ko mākou ola ma [ʻOkakopa] 31 a ʻaʻole mākou i ʻike hou iā ia," wahi a Ames.“Aia kahi alahao ma luna o kona poʻo… ʻaʻole mākou i ʻike iā ia i ka manawa hope loa, e alakaʻi iaʻu i lalo i kahi lua rabbit aʻu i piʻi ʻole ai i waho."
Ua hoʻokaʻaʻike mākou iā Eimers i Dekemaba, a i loko o kekahi mau pule o ka hana ʻana me ia, ua loaʻa i kā mākou waihona 72 mau pā i kuhi hewa ʻia.
"Ua ʻike au i kēia hapa liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi.Ke kamaʻilio nei paha mākou e pili ana i nā haneli o nā pā i hiki ke hoʻokomo pololei ʻia, "wahi a Ames.
Ua make ke keiki a Christie lāua ʻo Mike DeFilippo, ʻo Hunter Burns, ma hope o ke kuʻi ʻana i kahi kiaʻi i hoʻokomo pono ʻole ʻia.
Noho nā kāne i kēia manawa ma Louisiana akā hoʻi pinepine i ka pūnaewele kahi i pepehi ʻia ai kā lāua keikikāne 22 makahiki.
ʻEkolu mau makahiki i hala ma hope o ka hāʻule ʻana, akā ikaika mau ka manaʻo o ka poʻe, ʻoiai ke ʻike lākou i ka puka kaʻa me kahi paʻi hao ʻaʻa, aia he mau kapuaʻi wale nō mai ke kahua ulia.
Wahi a lākou, ʻo ka puka ʻeleʻele o ke kaʻa he ʻāpana o ke kaʻa a Hunter e hoʻokele nei i ke kakahiaka o Malaki 1, 2020.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Christy: "ʻO Hunter ke kanaka maikaʻi loa.Ua hoʻomālamalama ʻo ia i ka lumi i ka minuke i komo ai.ʻO ia ke kanaka mālamalama loa.Nui nā poʻe i aloha iā ia. "
Wahi a lākou, ua hiki mai ka pōʻino i ke kakahiaka nui o ka Lāpule.Hoʻomanaʻo ʻo Christie i ko lākou lohe ʻana i ke kīkēkē ʻana ma ka puka, ʻo ka hola 6:46 ka hola ma ka uaki.
"Ua lele au mai kahi moe a aia ʻelua mau mākaʻi ʻo Florida Highway Patrol e kū ana ma laila.Ua haʻi mai lākou iā mākou he ulia pōpilikia ʻo Hunter a ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hiki," wahi a Christie.
Wahi a ka hōʻike ulia pōpilikia, ua kuʻi ke kaʻa kaʻa o Hunter me ka hopena o ke kiaʻi.ʻO ka hopena ka mea i wili ai ke kaʻa kaʻa ma mua o ka huli ʻana a hāʻule i kahi hōʻailona kaʻa ma luna.
"ʻO kēia kekahi o nā mea hoʻopunipuni weliweli loa aʻu i ʻike ai e pili ana i kahi ulia kaʻa make.Pono lākou e ʻike pehea i hana ʻia ai a ʻaʻole ia e hana hou.Loaʻa iā mākou he kanaka 22 makahiki i hāʻule i kahi hōʻailona alanui a puhi ʻia."ʻAe.Huhū wau a manaʻo wau e huhū pū kekahi poʻe ma Florida," wahi a Ames.
Ua aʻo mākou ʻaʻole i hoʻokomo pololei ʻia ka pā a Burns, akā ʻo Frankenstein pū kekahi.
"Hoʻi ʻo Frankenstein iā Frankenstein ka monster.ʻO ia ka wā e lawe ai ʻoe i nā ʻāpana mai nā ʻōnaehana like ʻole a hui pū me lākou, "wahi a Eimers.
"I ka manawa o ka ulia pōpilikia, ʻaʻole hiki i ka ET-Plus guardrail ke hoʻolālā i nā kikoʻī ma muli o ka hoʻokomo pono ʻole.ʻAʻole hiki i ka pale kiaʻi ke hele i ke poʻo extrusion no ka mea ua hoʻohana ka pahu i kahi ʻōnaehana hoʻopili kelepona i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ke ala kiaʻi ma mua o ka hoʻopili pono ʻana.Hoʻokuʻu Hook Nā meaʻai, palahalaha a paheʻe mai ka mea hoʻopuʻi.No laila, i ka wā e paʻi ʻia ai ke kiaʻi e kahi kaʻa Ford, hele ka hope a me ke kiaʻi ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka poʻe kaʻa i mua o ka fender, ka puʻu a me ka papahele o ka kaʻa Ford i loko o kona keʻena kaʻa.
ʻO ka waihona a mākou i hana ai me Eimers, ʻaʻole wale nā ​​​​pā i hoʻokomo hewa ʻia, akā ʻo kēia mau Frankensteins pū kekahi.
"ʻAʻole au i ʻike pono ʻoe e hana ikaika e hoʻokomo i ka huahana hewa.ʻOi aku ka maʻalahi o ka hana pololei, "wahi a Ames, e pili ana i ka ulia o Burns.ʻAʻole maopopo iaʻu pehea ʻoe i hana ʻino ai pēlā.ʻAʻohe ʻāpana o loko, e hoʻokomo i nā ʻāpana me nā ʻāpana ʻole o kēia ʻōnaehana.Manaʻo wau e noiʻi hou ka FDOT i kēia ulia pōpilikia.Pono lākou e ʻike i nā mea e hana nei ma ʻaneʻi.“
Ua hoʻouna mākou i ka waihona iā Professor Kevin Shrum o ke Kulanui o Alabama ma Birmingham.Ua ʻae nā ʻenekinia kīwila he pilikia.
"No ka hapa nui, ua hiki iaʻu ke hōʻoia i kāna mea i ʻōlelo ai a ʻike i nā mea ʻē aʻe he hewa pū kekahi," wahi a Schrum."ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo he nui nā pōpoki i kū mau a ke hopohopo nei nā pōpoki like."
"He mau ʻaelike kāu e hoʻokomo ana i nā pale kiaʻi a ʻo ia ke kumu nui o ka hoʻokomo ʻana i nā kiaʻi ma waena o ka ʻāina, akā inā ʻaʻole ʻike nā mea hoʻonohonoho i ke ʻano o ka hana ʻana o ka ihu, i nā manawa he nui lākou e hoʻokuʻu wale i ka hoʻonohonoho," wahi a Schrum.."ʻOki lākou i nā lua ma kahi a lākou e manaʻo ai e pono ai lākou, a i ʻole ke kuʻi ʻana i nā lua ma kahi a lākou e manaʻo ai he pono lākou, a inā ʻaʻole maopopo lākou i ka hana o ka pahu, ʻaʻole lākou e maopopo i ke kumu o ka hewa a i ʻole ke kumu o ka hewa."aʻole hana.
Ua loaʻa iā mākou kēia wikiō aʻoaʻo ma ka ʻaoʻao YouTube o ke keʻena, kahi e kamaʻilio ai ʻo Derwood Sheppard, State Highway Design Engineer, e pili ana i ke koʻikoʻi o ka hoʻonohonoho pono ʻana i nā kia.
"He mea koʻikoʻi loa ka hoʻokomo ʻana i kēia mau ʻāpana e like me ke ʻano o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i ka pōʻino a ʻōlelo ʻia nā ʻōlelo hoʻonohonoho iā ʻoe e hana e like me ka mea a ka mea hana i hāʻawi ai iā ʻoe.No ka mea inā ʻaʻole ʻoe, ʻike ʻoe ʻo ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻana i ka ʻōnaehana hiki ke alakaʻi i nā hopena āu e ʻike ai ma ka ʻaoʻao, kūlou nā kiaʻi a ʻaʻole e hoʻokuʻu pono ʻia, a i ʻole ka hana ʻana i kahi pōʻino komo i loko o ka hale," wahi a Sheppard ma kahi wikiō aʻo YouTube..
ʻAʻole hiki iā DeFilippos ke noʻonoʻo i ke ʻano o kēia pā ma ke alanui.
"ʻAʻole maopopo koʻu noʻonoʻo kanaka i ke ʻano o kēia.ʻAʻole maopopo iaʻu pehea e make ai ka poʻe i kēia mau mea a ʻaʻole naʻe lākou i hoʻokomo pono ʻia e nā poʻe kūpono ʻole no laila ke manaʻo nei au ʻo ia koʻu pilikia.wahi a Christy."Ua lawe ʻoe i ke ola o kekahi i kou mau lima no ka mea ʻaʻole ʻoe i hana pololei i ka manawa mua."
ʻAʻole wale lākou e hoʻāʻo i kēlā me kēia ʻīniha o nā kiaʻi ma nā alanui holoʻokoʻa o Florida, "e haʻi hou ana ke keʻena i ka palekana a me ke koʻikoʻi o kā mākou mau kulekele a me nā kaʻina hana no nā limahana a me nā mea hana ʻaelike no ka hoʻokomo ʻana a me ka nānā ʻana i nā pale a me nā attenuators.ʻO kā mākou ala.”
“ʻO ka mea nui o ka Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) ʻo ia ka palekana, a ʻo ka FDOT e mālama nui i kou hopohopo.ʻO ka hanana 2020 e pili ana iā Mr Burns āu i ʻōlelo ai he naʻau ʻeha o ke ola a ke hele nei ka FDOT i kona ʻohana.
“No kou ʻike, ua hoʻokomo ʻo FDOT ma kahi o 4,700 mau mile o nā pale a me 2,655 mau mea hoʻopuʻihaʻi ma ko mākou mau alanui mokuʻāina.Aia nā kulekele a me nā hana o ka 'Oihana no nā mea hana a pau i ho'ohana'ia i loko o kā mākou mau ke'ena, e like me nā kia'i a me nā mea kani.Hoʻokomo ʻana i nā pā a me ka hoʻoponopono lawelawe.ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻāpana i hoʻolālā ʻia a koho ʻia no kēlā me kēia wahi, hoʻohana, a me ka hoʻohālikelike.Pono e hana ʻia nā huahana a pau i hoʻohana ʻia i loko o nā keʻena ʻOihana e nā mea hana i ʻae ʻia e ke Keʻena, no ka mea, kōkua kēia i ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā mea.Eia kekahi, e nānā i kēlā me kēia kūlana kiaʻi ʻelua i kēlā me kēia makahiki a i ʻole ma hope koke o ka pōʻino.
