3 đứa trẻ gốc Việt và bà ngoại thiệt mạng trong vụ hoả hoạn bão tuyết Texas
February 19, 2021
(CaliToday) – Bão mùa đông Uri hoành hành trên khắp nước Mỹ, tước đi sinh mạng của ít nhất 49 người, trong đó có 4 bà cháu người gốc Việt ở tiểu bang Texas.
Bão tuyết đã khiến hàng triệu người Texas lâm vào cảnh mất điện trong cái lạnh thấu xương. Nhiều người đã tìm cách sưởi ấm bằng những cách khác nhau nhưng không lường trước được hậu quả. Chỉ riêng quận Harris bao trùm thành phố Houston cho đến thứ Ba đã có hơn 300 vụ ngộ độc khí carbon monoxide, trong đó có 2 ca tử vong. Đa số người dân đem lò than và máy phát điện vào trong nhà để chống chọi lại cái rét. Trường hợp hai mẹ con bị thiệt mạng và hai bố con ngộ độc khí carbon là do gia đình đã nổ máy xe hơi trong gara để chạy máy sưởi.
Một gia đình gốc Việt đã mất 3 đứa trẻ và bà ngoại chúng vào ngày 16 tháng 2 trong một vụ hoả hoạn cũng liên quan đến mất điện và sưởi ấm.
Vào khoảng 2h sáng thứ Ba, nhà chức trách địa phương nhận được tin vụ hoả hoạn xảy ra tại một căn nhà trên dãy 3200 đường Vista Lake Drive, thành phố Sugarland nằm bên ngoài Houston. Khi nhân viên cứu hoả đến hiện trường, ngôi nhà đã chìm ngập trong lửa.
Bên ngoài, hai phụ nữ bị bỏng nặng, trong đó có người mẹ của mấy đứa trẻ bên trong. Nhà chức trách giữ không cho người phụ nữ 41 tuổi đang gào khóc, tìm mọi cách vào bên trong cứu mẹ và các con.
Sau khi dập tắt đám cháy, nhân viên cứu hỏa phát giác ra thi thể của của bà Loan Lê 75 tuổi, và ba đứa trẻ con anh Nathan Nguyễn là Olivia Nguyễn 11 tuổi, Edison Nguyễn 8 tuổi, và Colette Nguyễn 5 tuổi.
Nhà chức trách hiện đang điều tra nguyên nhân gây hoả hoạn. Tuy nhiên, khu vực trên bị mất điện từ đêm thứ Hai, trước đó 8 tiếng đồng hồ, theo lệnh cắt điện bắt buộc trên toàn tiểu bang từ ERCOT.
Trương mục xã hội của gia đình cho biết, họ sử dụng lò sưởi để giữ ấm. “Họ tìm cách giữ ấm,” Phát ngôn nhân Ty Cứu hoả Sugarland, ông Doug Adolph cho hay. “Chúng tôi hiện không thể nói đó là nguyên nhân gây ra hoả hoạn, chúng tôi chỉ nghĩ chúng tôi biết họ sử dụng lò sưởi.”
Một người bạn của anh Nathan Nguyễn đã tạo trang gây quỹ trên GoFundMe, sau khi hàng ngàn người liên lạc với các cơ quan truyền thông, tìm cách hỗ trợ tài chánh và tình cảm cho gia đình. Mục tiêu gây quỹ $100.000 Mỹ kim nhằm lập quỹ vinh danh 3 đứa con của anh Nathan, gồm học bổng cho trường Công giáo St. Laurence, và hỗ trợ các chương trình nâng cao nhận thức về an toàn hoả hoạn nhằm ngăn chặn thảm kịch tương tự cho những gia đình khác.
Cho đến tối thứ 6, số tiền gây quỹ đã được gần $98.000 Mỹ kim, với hơn 1.500 người tham gia.

Three children and their grandmother died in a Texas fire after trying to stay warm during power outages. Their mom survived
By Hollie Silverman, CNN
Updated 9:58 PM ET, Sun February 21, 2021
Loan Le and her grandchildren, Colette, Edison, and Olivia.
(CNN)When the power went out at Loan Le's house in the Houston suburb of Sugar Land, Texas, on Monday, she headed over to her daughter's home about five miles away.
Jackie Pham Nguyen and her three kids, Olivia, 11, Edison, 8, and Colette, 5, affectionately nicknamed Coco by her family, still had power and were happy to have more time with their Ba Ngoai, which means maternal grandmother in Vietnamese.
Power and water outages plagued the state of Texas last week amid an unusual deep freeze that sent many families like the Nguyen's into survival mode.
Here's how a week of frigid weather and catastrophe unfolded in Texas
"We thought we were really lucky because we still had power until the early evening," Nguyen said.
When their power went out a few hours later, the family hunkered down, lit the fireplace and played board games and card games, she said.
The kids tried to teach their grandmother some card games and the family had tired themselves out by around 9:30 p.m.
"Tucked my kids into bed and really the next thing I know I'm in the hospital," Nguyen told CNN. "A few hours later the fireman and police officer came and said that no one else made it."
Nguyen doesn't fully remember what happened, she said, but recalls being on her first floor where her bedroom is and being unable to get upstairs to the children's bedrooms. She yelled for her kids.
"I was just standing there screaming and screaming and screaming their names hoping they would come out of their rooms and basically jump over so that we could get out," she said. "I just remember feeling like it was so dark and I can still kind of hear everything crackling around me."
Coco, Edison and Olivia Nguyen died in the fire.
While Nguyen said she doesn't remember much else of the night, Doug Adolph, a spokesperson for the city of Sugar Land, told CNN the mother of three "had to be physically restrained from running back into the house."
He said it took an hour or more to get the fire fully under control. The fire department arrived around 2 a.m. Tuesday.
"The family had posted on social media that they were attempting to stay warm by using a fireplace inside the home," Adolph said, adding that the cause of the fire has not yet been determined and may never be.
"We can't say for sure that was the cause of the fire. We just don't know yet," he explained. "It's possible that the investigation may never identify an exact cause."
Adolph said the neighborhood had been without power for at least eight hours.
While Nguyen suffered burns on her hands, she says the loss of her children and her mother is immeasurable.
"My heart is broken," she said, pausing to catch her thoughts. "I'm never gonna be the same."
"I'm in this crisis tactical mode now and I'm just really focused on all this final arrangements because this is the last sort of thing I'm going to do for my kids," Nguyen said.
When Nguyen talks about her kids, her stories about their big personalities in little bodies come to life.
"My kids were such phenomenal, amazing, little badass humans," she said of her three children.
Olivia and Coco would have celebrated back-to-back birthdays next month, on March 27 and 28. All three kids attended St. Laurence Catholic.
"Colette is just a little firecracker and she has so much charisma," Nguyen said. "She also, as a 5-year-old, had that level of confidence. She was never afraid, totally unapologetic, not intimidated."
Coco loved to dance and make TikTok videos. She loved Taylor Swift and Shawn Mendes, and wanted to be head cheerleader and class president. She was more like a teenager than a soon-to-be 6-year-old, her mother said.
She was also very affectionate. "I knew she was my last kid but ... she was just so affectionate and I just, you know, I took that in, like, every single minute I could get it because I knew ... those moments are so fleeting," Nguyen said.
Olivia Nguyen (right), 11, loved skiing with her mom, Jackie Nguyen.
Olivia had a sarcastic sense of humor that got drier as she entered middle school.
"She was a kid, but not. She was so mature and so ahead of her peers," Nguyen said of her oldest.
She loved to ski, going on trips with her mom every year since the age of 7. Olivia and her mom baked cinnamon rolls for Santa every year, with the idea that he had enough cookies at the other homes and would remember their household because of their goodies.
The middle child, Edison, 8, was a "sweet boy" and an artist. He was extremely interested in modern art and architecture.
"He just had a very deep appreciation for any visual aesthetics," Nguyen said. "So kind and so caring and so thoughtful. ... You wouldn't think an 8-year-old had that level of depth."
Edison was mildly autistic and was very active, Nguyen told CNN, adding that he started running with his mom this past year.
"You just spent a minute with him you just knew how warm he was and that everything came from a kind place."
Their grandmother, Le, had always taken care of them, dropping them off and picking them up from school and activities, to help Nguyen achieve her professional goals working in finance.
A refugee from Vietnam, Le arrived in Kansas with nothing, and Nguyen credits her mother for sacrificing to give her a better life.
"My parents did everything for their kids, like, as immigrants, and coming to this country and then, that love that they gave me, it was tenfold when it came to the grandkids," Nguyen said.
She added, "I think grandmas are unsung heroes and untold stories."
Nguyen's mother had never spent the night at her house, even riding out Hurricane Harvey in her own home. But, she said, "for some reason that day she decided to come over."
"I just feel like she was always schlepping the kids around, too, so maybe this was her last sort of thing, and you know, 'ubering' the kids up to heaven," Nguyen said.
Knowing those questions may never be answered, Nguyen said she will move forward in a way that honors her kids and their memory fittingly.
"Obviously I mourn losing them," Nguyen told CNN. "But I feel like it's honestly a tragic loss for the world that these kids don't get to like live up to their potential and contribute to society in the way that they could have."
A GoFundMe has already seen more than $275,000 in donations. She said she wants to make sure the money is used to build an organization or foundation.
"I want to do something lasting for them," Nguyen said. "I really want to be thoughtful about it because I want it to be lasting and meaningful. ... I owe it to everybody's support and their intentions to not be hasty about how those resources are used."

Ís Nathan Nguyen the father of the 3 kids? If he's the father, where was he during the fire?
Tội nghiệp người Mẹ who had suffered the loss of all her children & Mother in the same day!
Nhà SIL cũng ở Sugarland builder xây nhà có 1 main MBR downstairs và another MBR upstairs with smaller bedrooms. Bởi vậy Bà Mẹ có thể chạy ra cửa trước còn Bà Ngoại và 3 đứa bé thì chắc ngủ trên lầu. I wonder why the fire alarm did not trigger either. They are nỏmally run by batteries so should not impact if power is out.
Chắc ít khi xài lò sưởi cho nên lúc đi ngủ 0 biết phải make sure the fire is completely out b4 going to bed.

Scammers are always quick to make big bucks out of people's misery. 2 Gofundme for almost half a million dollars are in the name of the kids, and to whom will these funds go to ? Nobody knows. Only the scammers know.

She seems to be very strong & composed. Sometimes it's better to be all emotional so you can heal faster than keep it calm outside but griefing internally.
