Ma Mei 25, 2003, kahi mokulele Boeing 727-223, i hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia ma ke ʻano N844AA, i ʻaihue ʻia mai ke kahua mokulele ʻo Quatro de Fevereiro, Luanda, Angola, a ua nalowale hikiwawe ma luna o ka moana ʻAkelanika. Ua mālama ʻia kahi hulina nui e ka United States 'Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) a me Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), akā ʻaʻole hoʻokahi kuhi i loaʻa mai ia manawa.
Ma hope o ka hana ʻana no 25 mau makahiki i ka mokulele ʻo ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ua hoʻokumu ʻia nā mokulele a noho palau ʻia ma Luanda no 14 mau mahina, i ke kaʻina hana e hoʻohuli ʻia no ka hoʻohana ʻia e IRS Airlines. Wahi a ka wehewehe FBI, ʻo ka mokulele ʻaʻole i kala ʻia ke kālā i ke kala me kahi ʻāpana o ka polū-keʻokeʻo-ʻulaʻula a ma mua i nā mokulele mokulele o kahi mokulele nui, akā ua hoʻoneʻe ʻia nā noho kaʻahele a pau no ka lawe ʻana i ka wahie diesel. .
Manaʻo ʻia ma mua iki o ka napoʻo ʻana o Mei 25, 2003, ua kau ʻia ʻelua mau kāne i kapa ʻia ʻo Ben C. Padilla lāua ʻo John M. Mutantu i luna o ka mokulele e hoʻomākaukau i ka lele. ʻO Ben he pailaka ʻAmelika a he ʻenekini lele ʻoiai ʻo John kahi mīkini hana hoʻolimalima mai ka Repubalika o Kongo, a e hana pū ana lāua ʻelua me nā mīkini Angolan. Akā ʻaʻohe o lākou i hōʻoia ʻia e lele i kahi Boeing 727, kahi e koi maʻamau ai ʻekolu mau aircrews.
Hoʻomaka ka mokulele i ke kaʻa ʻōhua me ka launa ʻole ʻana me ka hale kiaʻi. Hoʻololi hewa ia a komo i kahi ala kaʻa kaʻa me ka ʻole o ka ʻae. Ua hoʻāʻo nā luna hale kiaʻi e launa, akā ʻaʻohe pane. Me nā kukui i lele, lele nā mokulele, ke neʻe nei ma ke komohana hema o ka Moana ʻAkelanika, ʻaʻole e ʻike hou ʻia, ʻaʻole i ʻike ʻia nā kāne ʻelua. Nui nā manaʻo e pili ana i ka mea i hiki i nā mokulele Boeing 727-223 (N844AA).
I Iulai Iulai 2003, ua hiki ke ʻike ʻia nā mokulele i nalowale ma Conakry, Guinea, akā ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kēia e ka United States Department of State.
Manaʻo ka ʻohana o Ben Padilla e lele ana ʻo Ben i ka mokulele a makaʻu ʻo ia i hāʻule i kekahi wahi ma ʻApelika a i ʻole paʻa ʻia e like me kona makemake.
Kuhi kekahi mau hōʻike aia hoʻokahi wale nō kanaka ma luna o ka mokulele i kēlā manawa, kahi e manaʻo ai kekahi aia paha ma mua o hoʻokahi.
Nui nā hōʻike pū ʻia e ʻōlelo ana ua ʻimi malū nā luna o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i ka mokulele ma nā ʻāina he nui ma hope o ka hanana me ka hopena ʻole. Ua alakaʻi ʻia kahi huli honua e nā diplomats i hoʻonohonoho ʻia ma Nigeria ma nā kahua mokulele he nui me ka loaʻa ʻole o ia.
ʻAʻole hiki i nā luna āpau me nā ʻoihana mokulele liʻiliʻi a nui hoʻi, nā kaiāulu nūhou a me nā mea noiʻi pilikino ke kiʻi i kahi hopena i kahi a me ka hopena o ka mokulele, ʻoiai me ka noiʻi a me nā nīnauele me nā poʻe i ʻike i nā kikoʻī e pili ana i ka nalo.
A laila, he aha ka mea i kū i ka ʻAihue ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa Boeing 727-223 ??
