Ine sindine mainjiniya, omanga misewu kapena china chilichonse, koma zolumikizira zingwezi zoyikidwa m'misewu yayikulu zikuwoneka zosasangalatsa komanso zosandikhululukira. Mwinamwake ndilo gawo la kukopa kwawo, kapena mwinamwake, mtengo wawo wotsika ndi chifukwa chake amawonekera pamisewu yayikulu.
Dipatimenti ya za Transportation ku Michigan inanena kuti chotchinga cholekanitsa chingwe chachepetsa chiwerengero cha anthu omwe amafa pakati pa msewu. Zilonda zowonongeka zimawoneka pambuyo pa ngozi pa Interstate 275 ku Farmington Hills.
Ndinadziimba mlandu ndekha chifukwa cha ngoziyi, chifukwa ndinali kuyendetsa galimoto mothamanga kwambiri mvula yamphamvu ndipo ndinagwera khoma pakati nditadutsa semi-trailer. Posafuna kuwombera mopambanitsa kapena kubwereranso m’njira ya galimotoyo, ndinakhotera pakati pa galimotoyo itagundana koyamba ndi galimotoyo. Ngakhale kuli mvula yamphamvu, mbali ya dalaivala ya galimotoyo inang'ambika ndipo panali zopsereza zambiri, koma ndinathawa. Sindikudziwa ngati ndikanachita chimodzimodzi ndikanagwiritsa ntchito chotchinga chingwe.
Ndikumvetsetsa kufunikira kwa msewu wapakati kuti magalimoto oyenda mbali imodzi asalowe munjira ina. Ndikukumbukira ngozi yowopsa pa I-94 kumadzulo kwa Baker Road zaka zingapo zapitazo pamene lole yopita kumadzulo inayenda mosadodometsedwa kupyola wapakati ndikuwombana ndi lole yopita kummawa. Galimoto yopita kum'mawa inalibe mwayi kapena njira chifukwa inali itadutsa kale galimoto ina yopita kum'mawa panthawi yomwe inkagunda.
M’malo mwake, nditawoloka msewu waufuluwu, ndinadabwa kwambiri ndi maganizo a woyendetsa galimoto wosauka yemwe ankaonerera galimoto yopita kumadzulo ikudutsa pakati pa msewu. Panalibe chimene akanachita ndiponso palibe poti apite kuti apewe ngoziyo, koma anayenera kuziyembekezera kwa masekondi angapo.
Nditawona ngozi zingapo zoopsa kwambiri pantchito yanga, nthawi idawoneka ngati ikuima kapena kuchedwetsa zikachitika. Kuthamanga kwachangu kwa adrenaline ndipo zikuwoneka ngati zomwe mukuwona sizinachitike kwenikweni. Pali bata laling'ono pamene chirichonse chatha, ndiyeno zinthu zimakhala mofulumira kwambiri komanso kwambiri.
Usiku umenewo, ndinali ndi mwayi wolankhula ndi apolisi angapo a Michigan State, ndipo ndinawafunsa chimene chinachitika pamene galimotoyo inagunda pakatikati pa msewu waukulu. Yankho losavuta lomwe adapereka linalinso losavuta - zingwezo zidasokoneza.
Ali pafupi ndi mmphepete mwa msewu, monga pa Interstate 94 kumadzulo kwa mzindawo, amaponya zinyalala zambiri mseu ndikutseka msewuwu pafupipafupi kuposa zotchinga za konkriti kapena zitsulo.
Kuchokera kufukufuku womwe ndakhala ndikuchita ndi zotchinga zingwe, zimagwira bwino ntchito pomwe chotchingacho chimatsogozedwa ndi phewa lalikulu kapena pakatikati. Komabe, alonda a chingwe amagwira ntchito bwino, monga mlonda aliyense, pakakhala malo ambiri olakwika oyendetsa. Nthaŵi zina zimene apolisi amatcha “kudontha kwa msewu” sizitanthauza kwenikweni kuti galimotoyo idzawombana ndi chirichonse.
Apakati okulirapo akuwonekanso kuti amachepetsa vuto la zinyalala zamagalimoto kusweka ndikugwera pamsewu. Tsoka ilo, sitingathe kukulitsa misewu yapakati pamisewu yayikulu yomwe ilipo, koma zotchinga za konkriti kapena zitsulo zitha kukhala zotetezeka.
Ponena za chotchinga chingwe chapakati, ndinafunsa asilikaliwo funso losapeŵeka limene limandichititsa mantha ponena za zingwe zimenezi: “Kodi chingwechi chimadutsa m’magalimoto ndi oyenda pansi mmene chikuwonekera?” Msilikali wina anandidula mawu n’kunena kuti: “Sindinkafuna kulankhula za nkhaniyi, ndinangoyankha kuti: “ Inde, choncho … ”Ndimakonda zitsulo zomangidwa pamitengo yamatabwa. Zikuwoneka kuti ndizotetezeka kwambiri. “
Sindinaganizire kwenikweni za chitetezo cha chingwe mpaka nditalankhula ndi wokwera masika watha. Adadandaula ndi zingwezo ndipo adazitcha "zowotcha njinga zamoto". Anachita mantha kugunda chingwe ndikudulidwa mutu.
Kuti ndichepetse mantha a woyendetsa njingayo, ndinamuuza mosangalala nkhani ya wapolisi wodziwika bwino wotchedwa Ann Arbor, amene ndinamutcha kuti “Monga ndinanena, Ted.” Ted anali Highlander, msilikali wakale waku Vietnam yemwe adagwiranso ntchito ku dipatimenti ya apolisi ku Salt Lake City atapuma pantchito ku Ann Arbor. M'mbuyomu, ndidatchula "Ted monga ndidanenera" ngati "wapolisi wa chipale chofewa" pamndandanda wonena zamasewera ake olimbana ndi matalala.
Zaka zingapo zapitazo, Ted ndi gulu la Apolisi a Ann Arbor amalingaliro ofanana anali kuyendera kumpoto kwa Michigan panjinga zamoto. Pafupi ndi Gaylord, Tedra anawongola njirayo, nathamanga kuchoka mumsewu ndi kulumpha pa waya wa minga. Mnzake wakale wa Ted ndi mnzake "Starlet" adakwera kumbuyo kwake ndikuwona zomwe zidachitika.
Sprocket anachita mantha ndipo analankhula ndi Ted poyamba. Sprocket anandiuza kuti pamene anafika kwa Ted, amene anakhala pansi koma atawerama, anatsimikiza kuti bwenzi lake lakale lafa—ndithudi, palibe amene amapulumuka ngozi ya galimoto ngati imeneyo.
Sikuti Ted anapulumuka, waya wamingaminga anagwira pakhosi pake ndipo anathyola. Ponena za kulimba, mwachiwonekere Ted nayenso ndi wolimba kuposa waya waminga. Ichi ndi chimodzi mwa zifukwa zomwe ndimakhala wokondwa nthawi zonse kugwira ntchito ndi Ted ndi chithandizo chake cha foni!
Ndinangokumana ndi Ted usiku womwewo ndipo anali kumva kuti sali bwino. Gwiritsitsani, bwenzi langa labuluu ndi mchimwene wanga!
Ochepa aife ndife amphamvu ngati Ted, kotero upangiri wanga wabwino ndikuyang'ana, kuchepetsa, kuyimitsa foni yanu, hamburger, kapena burrito, ndikuyenda mosamala pazogawa zingwe.
Rich Kinsey ndi wapolisi wapolisi wopuma pantchito wa Ann Arbor yemwe amalemba blog yaupandu ndi chitetezo cha AnnArbor.com.
www.oregon.gov/ODOT/TD/TP_RES/docs/reports/3cablegardrail.pdf? - Kafukufuku wa Oregon pakuchita bwino kwa zotchingira zingwe kuti mupewe kuwoloka. Ndipo tisaiwale chigawo chachikulu cha zotchinga zingwe, ndizotsika mtengo kuziyika komanso zokwera mtengo kuzisamalira, koma maphunziro awonetsa kuti amatha kuwononga nthawi. Popeza tili ndi ovota ambiri omwe amasamala kwambiri za ndalama kuposa kupulumutsa miyoyo, izi zitha kukhala zoyendetsa. MI ikuchita kafukufuku wopitilira pazolepheretsa izi, zomwe zikuyembekezeka kumalizidwa mu 2014.
Monga woyendetsa njinga zamoto, zopinga za chingwezi zimandichititsa mantha. Chilango cha ngozi tsopano ndi kudulidwa mutu nthawi yomweyo.
Bambo Kinsey, munafunsanso funso lomwe ndinafunsa lonena za mlonda watsopano wa chingwe. Ndikawaona, ndimadabwa chifukwa chiyani sali pakati pa wapakati? Ngati pali opanga misewu, chonde fotokozani chifukwa chomwe amasinthira kumanzere ndi kumanja?
Pamene chopingacho chili kutali ndi msewu, ndizotheka kuti galimotoyo idzagunda chopingacho, ndikuwononga kwambiri galimotoyo ndi omwe ali nawo. Ngati chopingacho chili pafupi ndi msewu, zikuwoneka kuti galimotoyo idzagunda chopingacho kumbali ndikupitirizabe kutsetsereka mpaka itayima. Mwina zingakhale "zotetezeka" kuyika njanji pafupi ndi msewu motere?
