被天坑吞噬的巴士

起重機到達(dá)現(xiàn)場，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.

有關(guān)當(dāng)局說，兩架起重機已經(jīng)抵達(dá)匹茲堡市區(qū)，準(zhǔn)備運走一輛部分被吞沒的城市巴士。

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.

阿勒格尼縣港務(wù)局表示，周一早上巴士墜入洞中時，司機和一名56歲的女乘客在車上。有關(guān)官員說，這名乘客在醫(yī)院接受治療后出院。

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.

公共安全主任溫德爾·希斯里奇說，這輛巴士停在三條輸電線上，其中兩條是22000伏特的線路。他說，那里也有光纖電纜，對它們的破壞可能會影響三州地區(qū)的通訊。

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.

希斯里奇說，安裝起重機和其他準(zhǔn)備工作將需要幾個小時。在一臺300噸的起重機吊起這輛14噸重的公共汽車后，下面的電力和光纖線路和管道可以進行評估和修復(fù)。
