1 | Puerto Rico: Massive Oil Refinery Explosion | Porto Rico: Fanadiovan-tsolika nipoaka |
2 | At around 12:30 am on Friday, October 23, the Gulf Oil Refinery (Caribbean Petroleum Company-CAPECO) in Bayamón (in the metropolitan area), Puerto Rico, exploded massively. | Nirefotra tanteraka tamin'ny zoma 23 oktobra teo tamin'ny 12 sy sasany atoandro ny fanadiovan-tsolika an'i Gulf Oil (Caribbean Petroleum Company-CAPECO) ao Bayamón, Porto Rico. |
3 | Almost 20 tanks have exploded since then, the fire is still burning although it has been contained, and an immense and never ending tower of smoke is covering the sky. | Saika ny fitoeran-tsolika 20 no nipoaka avokoa, mbola misy afo mirehitra hatrany na dia efa voafehy aza, ary tsy nitsahatra nandrakotra ny lanitra ny andriafo. |
4 | More than a 1,000 people who live in the surrounding neighborhoods have been relocated, and five municipalities have been declared in state of emergency. | Mihoatra ny 1 000 ny olona manodidina no nafindra toeran-kafa, ary nambara ka latsaka an-katerena ny fivondronana dimy manakaiky azy. |
5 | Activists and scientists have warned about the devastating ecological consequences of this disaster, and how it will affect people's health. | Samy nanambara ny fiantraikan'ny fahasimban'ny tontolo maitso sy ny aterak'izany eo amin'ny fahasalaman'ny olona amin'ity voina ity avokoa na ny manampahaizana na ny mpikatroka [mpiaro ny tontolo iainana]. |
6 | Community leaders of the surrounding neighborhoods have been warning the government for years about the environmental and health implications of living close to an oil refinery. | Efa an-taonany ihany koa no nampitandreman'ny olomboafidy manodidina ny governemanta ny loza ara-tontolo iainana sy ara-pahasalamana mitatao rehefa mipetraka manodidina toeram-panadiovan-tsolika tahaka itony. |
7 | The causes of the explosion are still under investigation. | Mbola fantarina amin'izao fotoana izao ny antony niteraka ity fipoahana ity. |

10 | On Thursday night the Gulf Oil refinery in the nearby town of Cataño blew up. | Nipoaka ny fanadiovan-tsolik'i Gulf Oil mifanila amin'ny tanànan'i Cataño tamin'ny alin'ny alakamisy. |
11 | The blast and shock waves were felt twenty miles away. | Heno hatrany amin'ny 20 maily manodidina ny fipoahana sy ny hovitrovitra niaraka taminy. |
12 | It was a sound like nothing I had ever heard in my life (the shock wave actually opened my bedroom door). | Feo tsy mbola henoko hatrizay niainako no henoko (ary nahasokatra ny varavaran'ny efitrano fatoriako mihitsy). |
13 | In the four or five seconds after the explosion, the fireball was as bright as the three o'clock sun The fire is still burning, the plume of smoke is like nothing ever seen in Puerto Rico. | Efatra na dimy segondra taorian'ny fipoahana dia nanazava tahaka ny masoandro amin'ny telo ora ireny ny tselatr'afo. Mbola mirehitra izy amin'izao ary tsy mbola nahitana setroka tahaka izay mihitsy teto Porto Rico. |

16 | Historian and blogger Ivone Acosta was also affected by the blast, as she expresses in Sin mordazas [ES]: | Tohina tamin'ny fipoahana ny mpahay tantara sy mpamaham-bolongana Ivone Acosta, araka izay nasehony tao amin'ny Sin mordazas [ES]: |
17 | No me atrevo salir. | Tsy nahasahy nivoaka aho. |
18 | Ya dos amigas que conocen mis alergias me llamaron para advertirme eso mismo, que no salga porque el aire contiene demasiados particulados peligrosos y que cierre todas las ventanas. | |
19 | Como quiera, no me interesa ver la histeria de la gente que por menos que eso se paniquean. Ya he visto comentarios en el periódico en línea acusando a “los socialistas de siempre”. | Efa namana roa mahalala ny zavatra ny maha-alerjika ahy [tsy zakako] sahady no efa nampitandrina ahy mba tsy hivoaka ny trano satria miaty singa mampidi-doza maro ny rivotra. |
20 | I dare not venture out. | Nilaza izy ireo ny hanidiako ny varavarankely. |
21 | Already two friends who know about my allergies have called me to warn me that I should not leave the house because the air has too many dangerous particulates. | |
22 | They said I should close the windows. Anyway, I am not in the least interested in seeing people in hysteria who enter in panic with even less important things. | Na izany na tsy izany, tsy izaho no tsy miraharaha mahita ny korataba sy ny fikoropahan'ny olona na dia amin'ny zavatra tsy dia manao ahoana aza. |
23 | I have already seen comments in the newspapers accusing the “same old socialists” of the explosion. | Efa nahita sahady ny hevitry ny gazety miampanga “ireo sosialista antitra ihany” ho nahatonga ny fipoahana aho. |
24 | To understand Acosta's comments, some context is necessary. | Ilaina aloha ny mampahafantatra kely ny zava-misy mba ahazoana ny tian'i Acosta lazaina. |
25 | Just as recently as last October 15 there was a national strike in Puerto Rico. | Vao tsy ela akory manko izay fa vao tamin'ny 15 Oktobra dia nisy fitokonambe teto Porto Rico. |
26 | Government officials have accused demonstrators of being terrorists. | Nampangain'ny mpikambana ao amin'ny Governemanta ho mpampihorohoro moa ny mpanao fihetsiketsehana. |
27 | In Observations from the “Island of Enchantment”, blogger Adriana remembers how she felt when she heard the explosion: | Ao amin'ny Observations from the “Island of Enchantment”, ny mpamaham-bolongana Adriana no mampahatsiaro ny fahatsapany raha vao nahare ny fipoahana izy: |
28 | Yesterday, when I woke up, I heard the distant sounds of helicopters flying. | Omaly, teo ampifohazana, no nandrenesako angidimby nanidina tany lavidavitra any. |
29 | I though to myself, well, maybe something's going on in the housing projects (caseríos). | Noeritreretiko fa nisy zava-nitranga angamba tany amin'ny tetikasa fanamboaran-trano. |
30 | A short while later, I found out about the explosion. | Fotoana fohy taorian'izany vao henoko ny momba izany fipoahana izany. |
31 | Although it had occurred in Cataño, which is just outside of San Juan, I saw the black clouds from my house. | Fa na dia tany Cataño aza no nitranga ny fipoahana, izay vao eo ivelan'i San Juan, dia hita hatraty an-tranoko ny setroka mainty. |
32 | The magnitude of the explosion registered a 2.8 on the richter scale. | Nahatratra 2,8 eo amin'ny mari-pandrefesan'i Richter ny heriny. |
33 | Thousands of people had to be evacuated. | Olona anarivony no tsy maintsy noesorina tamin'ny toerana nipetrahany. |
34 | Law enforcement officials are currently investigating the causes of the explosion. | Eo ampanaovana ny fanadfihadiana amin'izay antony niteraka ny fipoahana moa ny mpiandraikitra izany. |
35 | I can't imagine what the environmental, health and economic consequences will amount to. | Tsy azo visavisaina ny tetibidin'ny fiantraikan'io eo amin'ny resaka tontolo iainana, fahasalamana ary toe-karena. |
36 | Luckily, no deaths have been reported. | Soa ihany fa tsy nisy ny maty. |
37 | The conversation in Twitter is running under the the hashtag #explosionpr. | Ny resadresaka momba azy ity ao amin'ny Twitter moa dia hita amin'ny alalan'ny hashtag #explosionpr. |
