NgoJanuwari 15, 2009 iinqwelo-mafutha zenqwelo moya ezingena ezivela eNew York ukuya eSeattle. Kodwa emva komzuzu onesiqingatha emva kweqhosha, inqwelomoya yaqubisana neepakethi zeentaka. Zombini iinjini zabakhubazekile. Abakhweli babengenakuvakalisa nantoni na. Bona ngokwabo bazivile njengengxolo eyanezezi ye-injini. I-salon ibambe i-panchec ethuli. Ukuzola kwaye ngokungathi ibhinqa elinye lihlala lingenamdla, umphathi omkhulu oqhelekileyo ngenkangeleko. Le yayinguMariya Bruce.
Abasebenzi balawula ummangaliso ukuba bathumele inqwelo moya ibhabha emantla ukuya eHudson, kwaye ufike emanzini. Indiza yonke ithathe imizuzu emithathu. Yonke into isisinda-kwaye le, kufuneka nditsho, ukufunyanwa komhlaba ongxamisekileyo emanzini, njengamatyala anjalo. UMariya kunye neliso alizange liqaqambile, ngokungathi yonke into yenzekile njengoko kufanele kube njalo.
Inyani yile yokuba le ntlekele yayisele ikwiminyaka yesixhenxe. Iintlekele ezintandathu (ezine zemvelo zemvelo kunye nokuhlaselwa kwabanqolobi) wakwazi ukusinda okanye kwanommangaliso wokuphepha kwaye engasiboni isizathu sesixhenxe ukuba ibulawe.
Okwesihlandlo sokuqala, uMaryann wajamelana nentlekele yemvelo xa wayehamba nomyeni wakhe kwiholide edibeneyo eHawaii embindini wamashumi asibhozo. Iholide idluliselwe ngokupheleleyo: bayahlanjwa kunye nelanga. ESirena, i-Spawnaw ngenxenye, ayizange inikele ingqalelo, kuba yayingazi ukuba kuthetha ntoni na. UMaryann ukhumbula ukuba yena nomyeni wakhe baqhubeka beqhubela phambili kwiSwear. Okokugqibela, umntu othile wababona kwaye walumkisa ngeTsunami kwiHawaii-Ingxaki iqhubeka kwezi ziqithi. Imini yonke, uMaryann wema kunye nomyeni wakhe kunye nabanye abantu kwiCawe yaseMormon, eyayisebenza njengendawo yokuhlala, kuba yakhiwa endulini, yalinda i-gigantic wabe. Kodwa itsunami ayifikanga kunxweme lwaseHawaii.
Ukuwa kuka-1985, i-roricane i-goria iwele kunxweme olusempuma lwe-United States. Ngamandla, uthelekiswa neNkanyamba ireine ngo-2011. Yonke iNew York yathandaza ukuba i-gbia izele esixekweni ngexesha lomphumo, kungenjalo uMkhukula uya kuphantse. Ukutshintshiselana kwavalwa- kwaye oku kwenzeka kakhulu kunqabile! Uninzi eUnited States lubizwa ngokuba yinkanyamba yeqonga leibhadi. Ikhuphe amakhulu amawaka abantu. Emva kweGloria, kukho imithi eqikelweyo, itshatyalalisiwe ekhaya, amazibuko, amachaphaza kunye nemibingelelo. UMarynn Bruce wadibana noGloria ekuqalekeni kwenqwelomoya xa wakhawuleza waya kuTata ogulayo eNew York. Inqwelo moya intle ixoxiwe, kodwa bekungakwazi ukumgqobhoza inkanyamba elandelayo.
Kwiminyaka embalwa kamva, uBruce wabuyela ekhaya, wajika kwiTV kwaye weva iindaba zeAvalanche ekwakufumene uColorado. Iyenzeka. Kodwa uBruce kunye nomyeni wakhe babuyile kwithambeka apho iAvalanche yayiqhutywa. UMariyann waphinda wamangatha ngethamsanqa.
NgoFebruwari 26, 1993, ilori emigodini yaqhushumba kwigaraji engaphantsi komhlaba yenqaba yorhwebo lwehlabathi eNew York. Emzimbeni Wayengama-606 kg ye-Urea ye-Urea kunye neesilinda ezininzi nge-hydrogen. Yayihlaselwa kakhulu. Kwacingelwa ukuba inqaba enqabeni iya kuncoma esemazantsi kwaye iwa kumazantsi, ukubhala kunye naye. Amawakawaka abantu ayeya kubulawa. Ngenxa yoko, nangona kunjalo, abantu abathandathu bafa kwaye ngaphezu kwewaka benzakala (ikakhulu benza i-fush-tudy), kodwa inqaba enqandisiweyo. UBruce, owayehleli eofisini yakhe kumgangatho wamashumi amathathu anesine, wava ikotoni, wagqiba kwelokuba utshilo ukuthunyelwa.
NgoSeptemba 11, 2001, abanqolobi babanjwa abanemimoya emine yabakhweli ngexesha lokubaleka. Ababini kubo banyulwa kuba babhabha kusasa ngaphezulu kweNew York. Bathunyelwa kwiNqaba yeZakhiwo zoRhwebo lweHlabathi. Phantse abantu abangama-3,000 basweleke. I-Airplane Mariann Bruce Flew kusasa ngaphezulu kweNew York. Ngaxeshanye nabantu abathinjiweyo. Unokukhethwa uhlaselo lwabanqolobi-kwaye akakhethwanga.
Enye yezona nyikima zomhlaba zeplanethi ekupheleni kwenkulungwane yamashumi amabini ibonwa njengenyikima eCalifornia nge-17 kaJanuwari, 1994. Ayisiyo kuphela i-Los Angeles kunye namadlelo ayo alimala, kodwa babekwi-350 km ukusuka kwi-epicenten ye-las vegas. Bangaphezu kwe-8,700 abantu abade balukhuni kwaye benzakale lula, 57 bafa. Amawaka ezi izakhiwo atshatyalaliswa yimizimba, nokuba ubhengezwe ungakhuselekanga kwaye uphoxekile emva kokudilizwa. Kwakukho iziqhushutha ezininzi zemibhobho yegesi, uninzi lweenzalo ezininzi ze-automotor zawa. Enye yeendlela yaya eLos Angeles kwiteksi yeTeksi. Ngaphandle kokuqonda okwenzekayo, waqala waqala ukucaciswa komqhubi weeteksi. Ibuhlungu ngokungalinganiyo ngethamsanqa! Xa uBruce wafikelela esixekweni, kwakungekho sikhuhlane kuyo.
Akumangalisi ukuba i-heroine yethu yayigcina ezolileyo kwinqwelomoya. Mhlawumbi wayekholelwa ukuba akukho nto iza kwenzeka kuye. Okanye mhlawumbi isetyenziselwa nje.
Ngoku uMarynn Bruce yiminyaka engama-55 ubudala, ulilungu leBhodi yaBalawuli kwi-North Carolina kwaye uziva omkhulu. Ngendlela, usuku lokuzalwa lukaBruce luwela nge-1 ka-Epreli. Mhlawumbi yiyo loo nto zonke iintlekele ezikufutshane nazo ziqala ukukhangela ukuba aziphumeleli kumzobo ophumeleleyo kwezo zinto zithandwayo kumabonwakude. Inqwelomoya ngoku iwele! Boo! Ngoku ncwina, ukhuphe ikhamera efihliweyo!
