Ukuseshwa kweBomber B-25 kushaywe ngo-1956 ngoMon
NgoJanuwari 31, 1956, ibhomu leMitchell B-25, e-Nellis Air Force Base e-Nevada eya e-Olmstead Air Force Base eHarrisburg, lashona eMfulenihela River (endaweni eyaziwa ngokuthi "Mon"), ngaphandle kwePittsburgh . Abasebenzi abayisithupha basinda kulokhu kuphahlazeka, kodwa kamuva kwabikwa ngamanzi aqhwayo eMfuleni iMondi.
Okwenzeka emasontweni amabili alandelayo kwaveza esinye seziyimfihlakalo ezingenakulinganiswa ePittsburgh.
Yini eyenziwe ngeB-25 ibhomu?
Imibono Mayelana Nalokho Okuye Kwavela eBomber B-25
Emasontweni amabili emva kokuphahlazeka, ukucinga kwezindiza kwenziwa, kodwa akukho okulandelwayo kweB-25 okwake kutholakala. Imibono mayelana nokunyamalala kwezindiza iningi futhi isaxoxwa kulo lonke elasePittsburgh.
Abanye bacabanga ukuthi indiza yayithwele imfihlo yamatshe enyukliya, igesi lesisindo, imali kaMafia, noma uWoward Hughes. Ama-akhawunti wokuzibonela ngeso lengqondo avela phezulu. Enye indaba ithi, "Amakhulu amasosha ahlasele endaweni yokugwaza avala umfula. Aqapha amabhange ngesikhathi umfula ufika, wadonsa isibhamu ebusweni." - SAPA 0 izimpawulo avatar avatar Izimpawulo ziyeza ... Sunny. kwesinye sezigayidi zensimbi zendawo futhi zanyuka. " Izinguquko kulezi zindaba zafaka indiza ehlanjululwe ogwini futhi ihanjiswe ngamaloli, izinsongo kubafakazi bokuzibonela ogwini, ngisho nendaba yendoda 'eyisikhombisa' eyamangalelwa emfuleni.
Le ndaba inhle kangangokuthi inkampani yokukhiqiza ifilimu icabanga ngokwenza i-movie mayelana ne-Mystery ye-Mitchell Ghost Bomber.
Imfihlakalo yeB-25 ikhuthaze iminyaka engaphezu kwengu-50. Njalo eminyakeni emibili noma emithathu, isihloko siphezulu emaphephandabeni asendaweni mayelana nokuphahlazeka, kanye nofakazi bokuzibonela abasha bavele "ngendaba yangempela."
Ukusesha Kuqhubeka Nokuqhuma B-25
Usesho luyaqhubeka, luqhutshwa yinhlangano ebizwa ngokuthi iB-25 Recovery Group eyakhiwe ngokuxuba kwe-eclectic yabantu abanesifiso sokuhamba ngezindiza, ukuhamba ngezimoto, imifula yamanzi, i-Pittsburgh, futhi impela imfihlakalo enhle endala.
UJohn Uldrich, uprofesa wokumaketha nokuphatha, okwamanje efundisa eChina, uhola iqembu. Unemvelaphi kwezobuchwepheshe be-sonar, uye wabamba imizamo eminingi yokusesha futhi yokutakula emhlabeni jikelele, futhi usechithe isikhathi esiningi ePittsburgh.
U-Bob Shema, i-Pittsburgh ozalwa kanye noMqondisi we-Operations yeqembu, uyisazi sekhwalithi yamanzi. Uletha ukuqonda ngokujulile koMfula Omkhulu kanye nokuhlangenwe nakho ngobuchwepheshe bokuskena kwe-sonar eqenjini. USteve Byers unenkampani yenkampani yendawo yaseSennex eNingizimu Hills, kanti uMat Punak ungumxhumanisi waseVirginia. UMat, uSteve noJohn bonke abashayeli bezindiza abanolwazi.
Leli qembu laqala ukucwaninga okuningiliziwe nokwesayensi ekupheleni kwe-B-25 ngo-1995. Baqoqa ngokucophelela ama-akhawunti wokuzibonela kusukela ubusuku bokuhlaselwa kanye namaviki ayo alandela, basebenzisa amakhulu amahora adlulisa imibhalo evela kuhulumeni kanye nemithombo yomphakathi, futhi ochwepheshe abaxoxisana nabo konke okuvela emgangathweni wamanzi eMon, kuze kube semfuleni, ekwakhiweni nasekwakha iBomber B-25.
Baze baqhuba ukuhlaziywa kokugeleza ngokusebenzisa amamodeli eMfuleni iMon ukuze balingise lapho umfula okungenzeka wawuthatha khona indiza.
Umphumela walo lonke ucwaningo? UBob Shema, uMqondisi we-Operations Group, uyaqiniseka ukuthi bathole indawo yokugcina yokuphumula. "Sithemba ukuthi sizokwazi ukuxazulula le mfihlakalo," usho kanje. Kodwa-ke, indiza yayingatholakali ngokuwa kuka-2016.
Ukuphephelwa Kwama Ghost Kungaphi Ukuphumula?
UShema ukholelwa ukuthi indiza ihlezi phansi ngaphansi kwamamitha angaba ngu-10 kuya kwangu-15 ngamanzi angu-32 ngaphandle kweBirds Landing. Izinyoni ezihambayo zibhekene nendawo yokudala ye-J & L yensimbi engasentshonalanga kwebhuloho laseGlenwood emakhilomitha angu-4.9. Kwakuyinto eyayiyindawo yokuqhafaza ye-barges.
Lapho ebuzwa ukuthi uqiniseka kangakanani kule ndawo, uShema uxoxe ngobufakazi obuningi abuqobile eminyakeni emihlanu eyedlule.
"Kwakukhona amakhulu amafakazi obhekene nalesi sigameko," kusho uShema. Le indiza yehla empumalanga yeGlenwood Bridge (ngaphambi kweHomestead High-Level Bridge) ehamba umfula. UShema uyaqhubeka echaza ukuthi umfula wawugijima kakhulu ngalolo suku. Abahlanu abathintekayo abayisithupha baphakamisela amaphiko ezindiza njengoba behamba phansi. Ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho, indiza yazama. Abasolwa abane basindiswa, futhi izidumbu ezimbili zatholwa phansi, zacwiliswa.
I-Army Corps of Engineers kanye ne-Coast Guard bahudula umfula ngokuphindaphindiwe ngemva kokuphahlazeka. UShema uthe imibiko yengozi ithi iCorps yenze lokho ababekholelwa ukuthi iphiko lendiza. Ngenkathi yokuyibeka phezulu, noma kunjalo, ihange lase liphumile, futhi indiza yabuyela emanzini. Bese bamba into ethile, kodwa bezama ukuyibeka phezulu, ikhebula elimnyama eli-2 lishayeke kabili. UShema uthe kukhona izithombe zalolu hlelo, futhi izithombe zibonisa izintambo eziphakeme zoguquko nezindawo zasogwini, okwamanje "" Siyazi kahle lapho indiza igcine khona, "kusho uShema.
Ukholelwa ukuthi indiza yaqala ukuzama ukuyidonsa, kodwa lapho isuka, yawela emgodini ovulekile we-Birds Landing. Ngezikhathi ezimbili ezilandelayo, lapho izintambo ziqhaqhazela, uShema ucabanga ukuthi zithinte enye into. Izinyoni ezihambayo zisekhaya elidala le-ice breaker elidala elingaphansi komhlaba. U-Shema uthi: "Ikhebula elincane le-steel" elingu-2 lidinga amandla angaphezu kwamaphesenti angu-31 000, "kusho u-B-25. Enye yezinto ezimbalwa emfuleni ongayenza lokho yilokho elidala le-ice cream breaker. "
Ukuxoxa nabafakazi bokuzibonela
Futhi, uma indiza iminywe ngempela, ilayishwe izimoto noma izitimela, futhi ifakwe emfuleni, kwakudingeka kube nofakazi bokuzibonela. UShem usechithe iminyaka engama-30 esebenza emifuleni futhi ukhulume namakhulu abantu ababesemfuleni ngalobo busuku. "Akekho owazibonela ngokwethembeka," kusho uShema.
Ukhulume ngendaba yomboni oyedwa owaxoxisana nabo ukuthi uthe wabheka abantu abahlukahlukene emgodini, emasongweni amnyama neminyango, bavala zonke izibani zabo bese bengena emanzini. Ukubala kwe-Shema ngokusho ukuthi, "Ukushisa kwamanzi kwakungama-degree angu-34. Umfula wawugeleza ama-5-7 amajeti. Amanzi ayengamamitha amathathu phezulu - isisindo samanzi. Into yokugcina i-diver kuyoba nayo ngaphansi kwalezo zimo kuyoba yizibhamu. Uxolo, lokhu akuyona ubufakazi obuqotho. "
Omunye umuntu owakhuluma naye kwakungumfazi ovuma ukuthi umyeni wakhe nguye owehlukile owakhipha isidumbu 'sesikhombisa.' Wachaza ukuthi lokhu kwakuyisizathu sokungabuyi ekhaya ngalobobusuku.
Ngemuva kokuchitha amahora amaningi ehamba phezu kwamaphepha, ukuxoxa nabafakazi bokuzibonela, nokuqhuba ukuhlaziywa kokugeleza ngamamodeli ukulingisa ukuthi ingabe indiza yayingahamba ngaphesheya komgwaqo, uShema uyaqiniseka ukuthi indiza isasemfuleni.
I-Sonar Ibalazwe Nge-Mon
Ngo-1995, leli qembu libalazwe ebhange laseMon River eduze ne-Birds Landing besebenzisa isithombe se-sonar esiceleni. Lokhu kuqinisekisile indawo yomgodi wegridi, imbobo ejulile eyakhiwe eminyakeni eminingi eyedlule yi 'amaqhawe omgodla' owafaka umfula phansi ngezansi. Bathola futhi ibheji elincane eliqotshwe. Kukhona omunye umfanekiso omnyama okholelwa ukuthi iqembu liyindawo yokungcwaba ye-B-25.
Ukuze uqinisekise indawo yendiza, leli qembu lifuna ukusebenzisa i-magnetometer yokuthola insimbi. Lokhu kuyisidingo esingenakusiza esingathola insimbi efakwe ngaphansi kwe-muck ne-silt yoMfula i-Mon. "Le divayisi kufanele inikeze isithombe sezinto ngaphansi kweBird's Landing," kusho uShema. Uma beqinisekisa indawo, bayothatha amasampula ukusuka phansi emfuleni bese behlaziya ukuze baqinisekise ukuthi noma yimuphi umtholo otholiwe ufana nalokho okwakhiwa ekwakhiweni kwamabhomu aMitchell. Izindleko zokuqasha imishini kanye nomzamo wokusekela ukuwusebenzisa uzodinga cishe amaRandi 25,000.
UShema uyaqiniseka ukuthi uzothola izingxenye zezindiza, kodwa umcabango wechungechunge olusuka e-Pittsburgh, isibhamu esivela eMon, akungabazeki. "Sibheke ukuthola amabhulokhi, ukugijima kwamagesi kanye namathayi - konke kwenziwa ukuba kube yizinhlamvu ... kodwa yonke indiza - engaqiniseki." U-Shema uthe futhi izinga lemanzi loMfula iMon ngawo-1950 laliphansi kakhulu. Isikhathi sokuphila kwanoma yisiphi isisindo emanzini angcolile kaMon kwakuyi-1/3 kuya ku-½ ye-Allegheny. "Ngeke ukwazi ukugcina imoto engaphandle emanzini unyaka wonke - i-propeller ngeke ichithe ngesikhathi esithile. Yonke into e-aluminium [yezindiza] kulindeleke ukuba ihambe, ngaphandle kwalokho okungase kuhlangene nakho," UShema uthe. Kuqhutshwa ama-dive amane eMon kuze kube manje, kodwa bonke abayitholile kwakuyizinkuni. "Awutholi insimbi eMon," kusho uShema.
Ukusesha Umlando
Iqembu le-B-25 Recovery lisebenza ne-Historical Society yaseWestern Pennsylvania (HSWP) kanye neSen.John Heinz Pittsburgh History Centre Centre kulo mzamo. UNksz Betty Arenth, oyinhloko iphini likaMengameli we-History Cente, ujabule ukuba yingxenye yokuxazulula le mfihlakalo. "Kungokwemvelo ukuthi sihlanganyele noBob [Shema] neB-25 Recovery Group - yingxenye yomlando kaPittsburgh," kusho u-Arenth.
U-Shema uthe uma bathola indiza, noma yiziphi izinto zokukhiqiza ezizophendulelwa kwi-History Center. "Uma sikuthola, kuyisikweletu ngempela wonke umuntu wasePittsburgh ngosizo abanikeze phezu kweminyaka."
Lapho ebuzwa ngezinkolelo ze-conspiracy, uShema, umdabu wasePittsburgh, ukhumbula usuku olwenziwe ngalo indiza. Uvuma ukuthi "Kwasekupheleni kweminyaka engama-50, lapho kuphakama impi ebandayo, futhi sasizungezwe izisekelo ze-missile. Kuyaduduza ukucabanga ukuthi amasosha ethu angangena futhi asuse indiza engenabofakazi." U-Shema waqhubeka wathi, "Abane bethu besingeke batshale izimali zezinkulungwane zamahora kanye nezinsiza ezibalulekile zezinyosi zasendle. Kungani umuntu engabeka igesi lesishukela, noma izikhali zenuzi ezindizeni ezingapheli? Le ndege yayiyizindiza ze-Air National Guard, umqeqeshi . Kungenxa yokuthatha umhlalaphansi ezinyangeni ezingu-18. Kwakungosuku lokugcina lwenyanga, futhi laba baqhubi bezamazama ukuthola isikhathi sabo sokuhamba. "
Shema ivaliwe, "Leli ndege livele liphelelwa yigesi".
Noma ubani onentshisekelo ekusizeni ukuxazulula imfihlakalo enkulu engaphendulwanga yasePittsburgh angenza umthelela okhokhelwa intela ku-B-25 Recovery Group. I-Historical Society yaseWestern Pennsylvania isungule i-akhawunti yeqembu. Iminikelo, eyenziwe ku-HSWP ingathunyelwa ekhelini elilandelayo:
