Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakawhiwhia ki tētahi kaimahi o te taunga rererangi $40 miriona hei utu mō tētahi aitua rere rere kino i mahue ai i a ia he kopa mai i te whitiki ki raro neke atu i te whitu tau ki muri. Ko Brandon Afoa, 33, o Puyallup, Washington, e whakahaere ana i te taraka hei pana i te rererangi i te Taunga Rererangi Taiao o Seattle-Tacoma i te wa i kore ai nga peera me te taraiwa, i raru ai ia ki te hiki putea. Ko te kaupapa, i puta i te 2am i te Hakihea 26, 2007, i mahue a Afoa i te whakamahi i ona waewae, i tona ringa matau ranei. I tangohia hoki e nga tohunga te nuinga o tana puku. I haere tonu a Afoa ki te whakawakia i te Port of Seattle - e whai ana, e whakahaere ana i te taunga rererangi o Sea-Tac - i te Kooti Nui o King County, e kii ana kaore i taea e te kamupene te pupuri i te waahi mahi haumaru. Whakamutunga: Kua whakawhiwhia ki tētahi kaimahi rererangi $ 40 miriona hei utu mō tētahi aitua rere rere pōturi i mahue ai ia i te hauā mai i te whitiki ki raro neke atu i te whitu tau ki muri. Engari he maha nga tau i kati ai te take i roto i nga kooti no te mea i kii te Tauranga o Seattle ehara i te kawenga mo nga mea i tupu i te mea i mahi a Afoa mo tetahi umanga motuhake. I roto i te tono ki te neke i nga mea ki mua, i whakatau te kooti teitei o te kawanatanga i te tau 2013 he 'kawenga' to te taunga rererangi ki te whakarato i tetahi taiao mahi haumaru. I te Rātū i whakawhiwhia e te kaunihera o King County ki a Afoa $40 miriona na te mea i pa ki tona oranga. He pono, ko te hunga mate pukupuku e hiahia ana ki te awhina o nga kaitiaki i nga haora katoa kia ora ai. I roto i te kōti, i whakaaturia ki tētahi rōpū he ataata o Afoa e kawea mai ana i tōna moenga mā tētahi ararewa motuhake ki tētahi kōti, ā, e whai ana i te rongoā. I haere tonu nga kaiwhakawa ki te tohatoha i te 25% o te he mo te aitua ki te Tauranga o Seattle. I tēnei wā, ka utua e ētahi kamupene rererangi kāore i uru ki te whakawa te toenga o te moni e tika ana. Na te mea he kirimana ta ratou ki te kaituku mahi o Afoa o mua - Evergreen Aviation Ground Logistics Enterprises - kua mutu te mahi. I tana korero mo te hua, i kii a Afoa ki KOMO-TV: 'He mea tino pai, a he tino whakawhetai ahau ki nga kaiwhakawa mo te whakatau i tetahi whakatau whakamataku.' I roto i tētahi tauākī, i whakapuakina e te Tauranga o Seattle...
Ko Brandon Afoa, 33, o Puyallup, e whakahaere ana i tētahi taraka hei pana i ngā waka rererangi ki te Taunga Rererangi o Seattle-Tacoma International i te wā i kore ai ngā hau me te taraiwa, nāna ia i tū ki tētahi hau kawenga. Ko te kaupapa, i puta i te 26 o Tihema 2007, i waiho a Afoa kia kore e taea te whakamahi i ona waewae, i tona ringa matau ranei. He maha nga tau i kati ai te take i roto i nga kooti na te mea i kii te Tauranga o Seattle kaore i te kawenga na te mea i mahi a Afoa mo tetahi kamupene motuhake. Heoi anō, i whakatauhia e te kōti teitei o te kāwanatanga, he 'kawenga' tā te kaiwhakahaere rererangi ki te whakarato i tētahi taiao mahi haumaru. I whakawhiwhia e te rōia te whakataunga i te Turei.
