I te Rātapu, i whakatūria e Īhipa tētahi waka ruku ki te rapu i te waka rererangi a EgyptAir i hinga i ngā wai hohonu o te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, e ai ki te Perehitini a Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, me te whakatūpato ka roa te wā e tirotirohia ai te aituā.
I tana whaikōrero tuatahi ki te marea mō te tukinga o te waka rererangi Airbus 320 i te Rāpare, i mate ai ngā tāngata 66 katoa i runga i te waka, i kī atu a Sisi kei te whakaarohia tonutia ngā āhuatanga katoa, me te whakatūpato kia kaua e hohoro te whakatau.
"Kua nekehia ngā taputapu rapu mai i te Manatū Hinu i tēnei rā, he waka ruku kei a rātou ka taea te toro atu ki te 3,000 mita i raro i te wai," tana kōrero ki ngā minita me ngā mema pāremata i te whakatuwheratanga o tētahi tipu tongi i te tāone tauranga o Damietta.
"I neke atu i tēnei rā ki te wāhi i tukinga ai te waka rererangi nā te mea kei te kaha mātou ki te whakaora i ngā pouaka pango."
E ai ki a Īhipa kua kitea e tana ope taua ngā toenga tangata, ngā pakaru me ngā taonga whaiaro o ngā pāhihi e rere ana i te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, tata ki te 290 kiromita (180 maero) ki te raki o Ārehanaria, engari kei te rapu tonu rātou i ngā taputapu hopu pouaka pango e rua o te waka rererangi hei whakarato taunakitanga whai hua mō te take o te tukinga.
Tērā pea e 3,000 mita te hohonutanga o ngā wai o te rohe o te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa e rapuhia ana, ā, ka tū ngā rama tohu pouaka pango ki te taha o tō rātou awhe kitea mai i te mata.
I mua tata i tōna ngaronga atu i ngā mata radar, i tukuna e te waka rererangi he raupapa whakatūpato e tohu ana kua kitea he paoa i runga i te waka, e ai ki ngā kairangahau Wīwī i te Rāhoroi.
Kāore ngā tohu i tohu i te pūtake o te paoa, o te ahi rānei, engari i whakarato i ngā tohu tuatahi mō te mea i tupu i mua i te tukinga.
"Tae noa ki tēnei wā, e taea ana ngā āhuatanga katoa. Nō reira, he mea nui kia kaua tātou e kōrero me te kī he āhuatanga motuhake tēnei," te kī a Sisi.
"Tērā pea ka roa te wā e pau ana, engari kāore e taea e tetahi te huna i ēnei mea. Ina puta ngā hua, ka whakamōhiotia te iwi."
