Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I tutakina te Whare Pōtae i te ata o te Rāhoroi i muri i te whakatūpato mai i tētahi kuri pūhāhā. I taua wa ano, i rangona he haruru nui, i kitea hoki he paowa i te Marae ki te Tonga. I tupu katoa tēnei i mua noa iho i te tīmatanga o te peresideni o Obama me tōna whānau ki te rere i runga i te Marine One ki te Andrews Air Force Base, kātahi ki Selma, Alabama. I hohoro tonu te hoki mai o te hunga pāpāho e pā ana ki te kaupapa, ā, ka haere ngā mema o te Ratonga Tūmataiti ki te mahi, e ngana ana ki te whakatau he aha te mea i tupu. Ko te ahi taraka kai te take o te haruru nui me te paowa, i te wa i kitea ai e te kuri he waka whakapae. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. I herea te Whare Pōtae i te ata o te Rāhoroi i te whakatūpato mai i tētahi kuri pūhāhā pōraru. I hohoro tonu te hoki mai o te hunga pāpāho e pā ana ki te kaupapa ki roto, ā, ka haere ngā mema o te Ratonga Tūmataiti ki te mahi ki te whakamātau ki te whakatau he aha te mea i tupu. I haere te Whānau Tuatahi ki Selma mō tētahi huihuinga motuhake mō te tau 50 o te haerenga hītori. Ka tuku kōrero a Perehitini Obama hei whakanui i te kaupapa. I pā te kati ki te 10am, ā, kua āraia te āhuatanga, ā, kāore i te whakaarohia he whakawehi nui. I mutu i te 11am, ā, i te mutunga ka haere a Perehitini Obama me tōna whānau ki Andrews mā te waka waka, kaua mā te hīkoi. Kāore he whara i puta mai i te ahi. He kaitohutohu Ratonga Tūmataiti kākahu i te reo irirangi i te wā e whakarite ana tētahi waka waka ki te kawe i te Perehitini o Amerika a Barack Obama me te wahine tuatahi a Michelle Obama ki Joint Base Andrews. Ka ki atu tētahi māngai Ratonga Tūmataiti ki te hunga pānuitanga kia hoki ki te rūma pānuitanga i mua i te wehenga atu o te Perehitini o U.S. Barack Obama me te Wahine Tuatahi a Michelle Obama mai i te Whare Ma. 'K9 whakatūpato i runga i te waka i 16th me Constitution i approx. 10:10 o te ata nei,' ka mea a Agent Brian Leary i roto i tētahi īmēra ki The Hill. 'Kei te tirotirohia ināianei.' Katahi ia ka tāpiri; 'Ko tētahi o ngā kaata kaihoko i te 15th me te G i kitea he ahi, he ahi rānei i pā mai i tēnei wā.' I haere nga kaipatu ahi ki taua aitua, a ka taea e tetahi tangata te tiki ataata o te ahi i tukuna e ratou ki YouTube.
I herea te Whare Pōtae i te ata o te Rāhoroi i te whakatūpato mai i tētahi kuri pūhāhā pōraru. Katahi ka rangona, ka kitea he paowa i te Marae ki te Tonga. I tupu katoa tēnei i mua noa iho i te tīmatanga o te peresideni o Obama me tōna whānau ki te rere i runga i te Marine One ki Selma, Alabama. E whakapaehia ana ko te paowa me te haruru i takea e te ahi taraka kai. I pā mai te kati i te 10am, ā, kua āraia te āhuatanga, ā, kāore i te whakaarohia he tino whakawehi. Kāore ngā take e rua i pātahi.
