起重机到达现场,移除部分被天坑吞噬的巴士
Authorities say two cranes have arrived to remove a city bus partially swallowed when a sinkhole opened during morning rush hour in downtown Pittsburgh.
有关当局说,两架起重机已经抵达匹兹堡市区,准备运走一辆部分被吞没的城市巴士。
The Port Authority of Allegheny County says the driver and a 56-year-old female passenger were aboard when the bus plunged into the hole Monday morning. Officials say the passenger was treated at a hospital and released.
阿勒格尼县港务局表示,周一早上巴士坠入洞中时,司机和一名56岁的女乘客在车上。有关官员说,这名乘客在医院接受治疗后出院。
Public Safety Director Wendell Hissrich says the bus is sitting on three power lines, two of them 22,000-volt lines. He said there are also fiberoptic cables, and damage to them could affect communications in the tri-state area.
公共安全主任温德尔·希斯里奇说,这辆巴士停在三条输电线上,其中两条是22000伏特的线路。他说,那里也有光纤电缆,对它们的破坏可能会影响三州地区的通讯。
Hissrich says setting up the cranes and other preparation will take hours. After a 300-ton crane lifts the 14-ton bus, the power and fiberoptic lines and pipes below can be assessed and repaired.
希斯里奇说,安装起重机和其他准备工作将需要几个小时。在一台300吨的起重机吊起这辆14吨重的公共汽车后,下面的电力和光纤线路和管道可以进行评估和修复。
