A agonia de um aeroporto

Sylvia Colombo

Não é de hoje que os grandes aeroportos se tornaram um tormento da vida moderna. Se estamos numa capital latino-americana altamente povoada, com movimento de 220 voos por dia e mais de 10 milhões de passageiros por ano, o caos, então, está instalado. Some-se a isso a dificuldade que os pilotos têm em aterrissar na pequena faixa encravada nos Andes, e temos uma ideia do que é chegar a Quito.

Na última madrugada, desci aqui de um voo vindo de Buenos Aires por volta da meia-noite. Pela primeira vez na minha vida, já um tanto rodada de aeroportos, peguei uma fila de imigração que saía pela porta e deixava os passageiros congelados na pista, a temperatura era de 10 graus, esperando sua vez. Demorei quase uma hora para conseguir entrar no saguão da imigração e carimbar meu passaporte. A sensação de estar muito perto do perigo, porém, te persegue no dia seguinte. Do hotel em que estou, no centro da cidade, vejo toda hora os aviões descendo, com uma proximidade assustadora.

A aparente boa notícia é que o aeroporto Mariscal Sucre vive seus últimos dias, será aposentado na semana que vem e substituído por um novo, a cerca de 20km do centro, em Talabela. Nos últimos 30 anos, acumulou algumas passagens de puro terror. Foram quatro acidentes causados por choques de aviões contra edifícios da capital, como em São Paulo, perigosamente próximos à pista de aterrissagem.

Na semana passada, o jornal inglês “The Guardian” publicou um vídeo com a visão dos pilotos que descem em Mariscal Sucre. É bastante impressionante e os ouvidos na reportagem dizem que o mau clima mostrado nas imagens é uma constante (www.guardian.co.uk/world/video/2013/feb/07/ecuador-mariscal-sucre-airport-video). Que o governo local esteja finalmente construindo um novo e moderno, talvez mais seguro, aeroporto, é uma boa notícia, e um exemplo a ser seguido por algumas urbes do continente.

  10. Great blog site you may have here nevertheless I had been asking yourself in the event you recognized involving any discussion boards that concentrate in making precisely the same topics given the following? I would really like to be a portion of group wherever We can find viewpoints from other seasoned people who talk about a similar curiosity.

  11. It okay Indiana Pacers, with a 96 91 victory over the Nets and a now historic start for the franchise, I got your back. I catching up on the DVR from the beginning of the second half to take some notes in retro diary form (with 100% of the idea credit going to Grantland Bill Simmons of course) to see how we in fact got to this point. To start the third quarter, Brooklyn would be leading the way 46 44, with the only difference between the two teams seemingly being the fact that Brooklyn bench outscored the Pacers bench 16 6. And we start NOW!

  12. 3:12 Brooklyn starts to come back, and with the Nets down 90 87, George Hill dribbles the ball from 20 seconds on the clock down to 13 and follows this up with a running floater through the lane. If it goes in, Hill looks like a genius, but since he missed, I should point out that Brooklyn is fighting their way back into this game and Paul George hasn shot the ball since the 7:26 mark in the quarter.

  13. The Pacers had had leading contributors all the way down their starting line up to go along with Paul George 24 points Lance Stephenson finished with 15 points, seven assists David West finished with 18 points and eight rebounds Roy Hibbert had 15 points, 11 rebounds, and two blocks.

  14. 8:06 I said this in my last post, but for me the signature play of the Pacers undefeated start to the season is the killer Paul George three that sucks the life out of the opposition, and then he slowly moves down the court with full out swag that only a 23 year old soon to be superstar could possess. With three seconds left on the shot clock off an in bounds play, George found Luis Scola cutting to the baseline. George then faked a cut pass the hoop, and instead wrapped around Scola (who placement set a pick on defender Paul Pierce) while George made his way beyond the arc. George hit the three, turned, tapped himself on the head with three fingers up, and made his way down the court slowly as the Pacers lead 82 73. If that isn cool, I not sure what is.

  15. 6:00 Paul Pierce is doing everything he can to keep this Brooklyn team in the game, but his teammates can help him out a lick. I would feel bad, but this is the same guy who tore up the Lakers in the NBA Finals after looking like this:

  16. So all eyes would be on the Pacers when they host the Chicago Bulls on national television, right? Well, despite the 97 80 victory over a team many believe could be the best in the Eastern Conference, the talking heads the following day decided to spend their time talking about what a point guard who had missed the entire season before was doing wrong just four games in.
