In der N\u00e4he des Banu-Protektorats gelegen, sieht die Stadt Tausende von Schiffen, die an jedem Tag in und um ihre Atmosph\u00e4re fahren. Da der Handel in das Stadtgef\u00fcge eingewoben war, gibt es seit der Gr\u00fcndung der Stadt die Fahrspuren, die die Auf- und Abfahrtswege in den Hafen begrenzen. Historisch gesehen gab es nie ein ernsthaftes Problem.\n\nSie k\u00f6nnen einen solchen Anspruch nicht mehr geltend machen.\n\nKurz vor Sonnenaufgang wurden die Bewohner von New Junction von einem Regen aus Feuer und Schutt aus ihrem Schlaf gerissen, als ein Paar Transportschiffe zusammenstie\u00dfen und an die Oberfl\u00e4che st\u00fcrzten. W\u00e4hrend lokale Planungstafeln und kaiserliche Zonenplaner die Fahrspuren sorgf\u00e4ltig von Wohngebieten weg positionieren, um m\u00f6gliche Sch\u00e4den im Falle einer solchen Trag\u00f6die zu minimieren, verdeutlichte dieser Vorfall eine m\u00f6gliche Aufsicht in ihrer Planung.\n\nGhara Halloway, der fr\u00fchmorgendliche Begleiter der \u00f6rtlichen TDD, war Zeuge der ganzen Sache.\n\n\"Ich dachte, sie h\u00e4tten sich gesehen, wei\u00dft du?\" Sie erz\u00e4hlte, immer noch zitternd. \"Es gab diesen Moment, in dem mir klar wurde, dass sie sich aus irgendeinem Grund nicht gesehen hatten, und ich sp\u00fcrte diese Grube in meinem Magen. Ich wusste nicht einmal, was ich tun sollte.\"\n\nAls Vesta, ein Schiff der Vergeltungsklasse, das f\u00fcr den G\u00fcterverkehr nachger\u00fcstet wurde, von der Oberfl\u00e4che aufstieg, erkannte der Pilot, der aus den Landeprotokollen als Errol Daniels von Croshaw identifiziert wurde, dass er im Begriff war, mit einem eingehenden Freelancer zu kollidieren, der zum Zeitpunkt der Pressearbeit noch nicht identifiziert war. Er f\u00fchrte Ausweichman\u00f6ver durch. Leider hat der Freelancer das Gleiche versucht. Ihre Ausweichversuche f\u00fchrten sie beide aus der Fahrspur, wo sie kollidierten. Ihre Flugbahn schickte sie zum F-Block s\u00fcdlich von Downtown New Junction, wo sie in die Wohnsiedlung Walden Towers st\u00fcrzten.\n\nErste Helfer kamen schnell auf die Absturzstelle, um die von Flammen umgebenen Strukturen zu finden. Die Bewohner hatten bereits damit begonnen, aus den T\u00fcrmen zu fluten, viele davon mit Ru\u00df und Asche bedeckt. Als die Feuerwehrleute in das Geb\u00e4ude eintraten, schlossen sich ihnen andere Einheimische an, die aus den umliegenden Residenzen rannten, um bei der Evakuierung zu helfen.\n\n\"Was heute passiert ist, war schrecklich. Einer der schlimmsten Tage, die ich in meinen vierunddrei\u00dfig Jahren gesehen habe\", sagte Dan Corvi, ein Lieutenant der NJFD. \"Aber es war unglaublich, eine Gemeinschaft zusammenzuziehen, um weitere Verluste an Menschenleben zu verhindern.\"\n\nDie Br\u00e4nde brannten \u00fcber drei Stunden lang und sch\u00e4digten das zentrale St\u00fctzsystem der Walden stark. Die Rettungsarbeiten in den h\u00f6heren Stockwerken mussten abgebrochen werden, bis das Feuer unter Kontrolle gebracht werden konnte. Um die Suche nach \u00dcberlebenden fortzusetzen, mussten Remote-Scanner eingesetzt werden.\n\nVertreter des Rates der Gouverneure kamen an, um die Rettungsbem\u00fchungen zu \u00fcberwachen.\n\n\"Nat\u00fcrlich sind wir fest entschlossen, jede Unterst\u00fctzung und Unterst\u00fctzung anzubieten, die wir leisten k\u00f6nnen\", erkl\u00e4rte Dexter Fowley vom New Junction Governors Council in einer spontanen Pressekonferenz. \"Ich habe bereits eine Nachricht aus Brixen und sogar aus Tanis erhalten, dass sie jede verf\u00fcgbare Hilfe schicken werden, um den Familien zu helfen, also m\u00f6chte ich ihnen danken.\"\n\nFowley ging auf die gr\u00f6\u00dfere Sorge ein.\n\n\"Es scheint, dass die schrecklichen Ereignisse von heute einen Mangel an Protokoll offenbart haben, der behoben werden muss. Ganz einfach, ein System f\u00fcr alle Piloten, ob kommerziell oder nicht, um das Flugprotokoll innerhalb der Fahrspuren zu behandeln, und eine standardisierte Form von Notfallumgehungstechniken. Nachdem ich hier nicht mehr gebraucht werde, plane ich, die anderen Gouverneure zu versammeln und eine Nachricht an den Senat zu senden, in der ich um die notwendigen Mittel zur Entwicklung eines solchen Systems bitte. Wir waren in der Vergangenheit mit unserem System zufrieden; heute hat uns gezeigt, dass wir mehr verlangen m\u00fcssen, damit diese Leben nicht umsonst gestorben sind.\"","zh_CN":"TRAGEDY IN THE SKIES\n\nBy.
