Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kaore e whakaaetia nga kaiurungi me te rererangi a rohe a Regional Express ki te whakamahi i nga huarahi tirohanga ki nga taunga rererangi i muri i te pohehe a tetahi rangatira ki te rarangi o nga kaikawe waro nui mo te ara rererangi, kua whakaatuhia e tetahi ripoata ahuru rererangi. Me whakamahi ngā kaimahi i ngā taputapu whakatere - hei utu mo te whakawhirinaki ki te kanohi tangata - i muri i te tūtukitanga e tata ana ki te taunga rererangi o Williamtown o Newcastle, i te wā i pohehe ai te Moutere o Kooragang hei rerenga rerenga, ahakoa e 19km te tawhiti mai i te taunga rererangi iti. Mai i te tirohanga a ngā kaiurungi, he ōrite ngā āhuatanga o te taunga rererangi o Williamtown, ki te taha mauī, ki te Moutere o Kooragang, ki te taha matau. He ripoata i tukuna i te Paraire e te Tari Haumaru Haerenga o Ahitereiria i kii ko nga kaiwhakahaere rererangi rererangi i uru mai i te wa tika ki te whakahoki i te rererangi Rex ki te taunga rererangi o Williamtown i te Noema 8, 2013. I whakawhiwhia te whakaaetanga ki ngā kaimahi o te waka rererangi ki te whakatata atu ki Williamtown i te 7.30pm. Kāore i roa i muri i te kitenga o ngā kaiwhakahaere waka rererangi i te rererangi e heke mai ana i te huri ki te taha mauī whai muri i te taenga atu ki te upoko o Nobbys. I kitea e tētahi pūrongo ko te taunga rererangi o Williamtown, ki te raki-rawhiti o Newcastle, he uaua ki te tautuhi i roto i ētahi atu āhuatanga i runga i te whenua. E kiia ana kua kite te rangatira i te "raupapa o nga whare e marama ana" a i whakapono ratou he waahanga o te taunga rererangi. I tēnei wā ka kite te kaiwhakahaere pourewa kei te "tūhāhā te rererangi i te tawhiti nui atu i te tawhiti o te rerenga" me te whakawhiti i te rerenga o Sydney ki Newcastle, kaore i mua i te heke ki te 450 mita i runga i te whenua. He ōrite, he ōrite, engari he rerekē: Ko te rohe ahumahi o Kooragang Island e 19 kiromita te tawhiti mai i te taunga rererangi. Whai muri i te taunga mai o te paerata i kii ki nga mana he uaua ki te tautuhi i te taunga rererangi na te mea 'he pouri ake te marama i te waa noa' na te 'kapua kapua i te rangi ki te hauauru.<unk> Mai i taua wā, ka korerotia ki ngā kaiurungi o te Regional Express kia kaua e whakatata ā-ringa, engari me whakamahi i ngā taputapu whakatere hei tohu i ō rātou tūnga. Kua whakakahoretia e Rex Airways ngā whakatata ā-ringa i muri i te kitenga hē o te kapa i te taunga rererangi o Williamtown. E kī ana hoki te pūrongo i pāngia te paerata e tētahi mate kāore i whakaaturia, nāna i tuku i a ia ki te ngenge....
I tata te taunga o tētahi waka rererangi ki runga i tētahi uta waro i muri i te pōhēhē a te paerata ki tētahi taunga rererangi. I heke te rererangi Rex mai i Hīnia ki Newcastle ki te 450m i te wā i kite ai ngā kaiwhakahaere waka rererangi kua huri kē ia i te ara. I whakahaeretia ki Williamtown, 19 kiromita te tawhiti. I kitea i roto i tētahi pūrongo mō te tūtukitanga o te tau 2013 he uaua te tautuhi i te taunga rererangi o Williamtown mai i te rangi. I muri mai, kua rāhuitia nga kaiurungi Rex i te whakamahi i nga huarahi tirohanga me te whakamahi i nga taputapu whakatere.
