Lo mbhalo uzobheka okuthathu kokunyinyitheka komgogodla nokunyamalala okungaqondakali olwandle, lokho kuze kube yilolu suku kuhlala kungaphendulwanga. Ngasikhathi sinye sihle, siheha futhi siqhakazile, ulwandle futhi lungaba namandla futhi abhubhise aphethe izimfihlo eziningi ezingakatholakali ekujuleni kwalo okungaqondakali. Funda ukuze uthole ezinye zezilwandle ezigcinwe kahle kakhulu.
Umkhumbi wezipoki
I-American Brigantine Mary Celeste yahamba ngomkhumbi isuka eNew York yaya eGenoa, e-Italy ngoNovemba 1872 inabantu abangu-10 ababegibele, ngemuva kwenyanga yatholakala isusondele ogwini lwasePortugal. Naphezu kokukhukhula okuncane endaweni yokugcina, umkhumbi wawungacacile, kwakungekho uphawu lokulimala noma kuphi futhi kwakusenezinyanga eziyisithupha zokudla namanzi ebhodini.
Zonke izimpahla bezingathintwa futhi impahla yabasebenzi ngayinye ibingasuki lapho ihlala khona. Ngaphandle kokubonakala komkhumbi kungathintwanga, bekungekho noyedwa umphefumulo obezotholakala emkhunjini. Okuwukuphela kwento eyayinomkhombandlela wokunyamalala kwabo kwakuyisikebhe sokusinda esasilahlekile, kepha naphezu kwalokhu, akekho owaziyo okungenzeka ukuthi kwenzekeni ngoba izisebenzi aziphindanga zabonwa. Kuze kube namuhla, isiphetho sikaMary Celeste namalungu abasebenzi basengaziwa.
Ukuphahlazeka komkhumbi
Abasebenzi benkampani kawoyela negesi ebizwa nge-Exxon Mobil bebebeka ipayipi ngesikhathi bebona ukuphahlazeka komkhumbi eGulf of Mexico. Naphezu kwemizamo emihle kakhulu yamaqembu amaningana okuhlola azamile ukuhlola lokhu kwephuka komkhumbi futhi aqala ukwembula impicabadala eyizungezile, asikakabi nokuhlakanipha okuthe xaxa.
Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi isikhathi ngasinye lapho iqembu lokuhlola selisondele, kukhona okungahambi kahle njalo, okuvimbela noma ngubani ukuthi athole noma yiluphi ulwazi. Kunjengokungathi othile noma okuthile, mhlawumbe ngisho amandla angabonakali abonakalayo, imisa noma ngubani ekutholeni noma yiluphi uhlobo lokufinyelela noma imininingwane ekulo.
Umkhumbi-ngwenya wokuqala wokuhlola awusebenzanga kahle ngaso kanye isikhathi lapho wawusuzoqala khona ukubuka imvithi. Abaqaphi bamavidiyo babelokhu bephuma njalo lapho bexosha abakwa-thrusters, i-sonar yayizophuka, futhi ama-hydraulic aye ku-haywire.
Emzameni wesibili, itilosi lasolwandle lathumela umkhumbi-ngwenya womcwaningi okwazile ukuzilimaza ngokwalo imizuzu eyi-rover ngemuva kokungena emanzini, kwathi lapho likwazi ukufika lapho kuphahlazeka khona, izingalo zalo zazimfushane kakhulu ukuthi zingafinyelela noma yini. Ngabe lokhu kunguchungechunge nje lwezehlakalo ezenziwe ngamashwa, noma ngabe kukhona okuqhubekayo okuqhubekayo? Kuze kube namuhla, akekho owaziyo ukuthi kwenzekeni kulo mkhumbi nezimfihlo ezingakhiywa ngaphakathi.
Ukunyamalala endlini yesibani
Abagcini bezindlu ezikhanyayo abathathu oThomas Marshall, uDonald MacArthur noJames MacArthur baduka ngeBoxing Day ngo-1900 eFlannan Isles ngasogwini olusentshonalanga yeScotland, naphansi kwezimo ezingajwayelekile.

Uqaphele nokho ukuthi umnyango ubungakhiyiwe, amajazi ama-2 ebengekho kanti bekukhona nokudla okudliwe etafuleni lasekhishini nesihlalo esigingqikile, kube sengathi kukhona ohambe ngejubane. Iwashi lasekhishini nalo belimile. La madoda amathathu ahambile, kodwa bekungekho zidumbu ezake zatholakala.
Kunezinhlobonhlobo zemibono eye yasungulwa ukuzama ukuchaza ukunyamalala kwabo, kusukela emkhunjini wezipoki, ukuthunjwa yizinhloli zakwamanye amazwe, ukucekelwa phansi isilo esikhulu sasolwandle. Noma yini eyenzeka emuva ngawo-1900 kulamadoda amathathu angaqaphile, akekho ozokwazi.
Umbhali: U-Jane Upson, umbhali ozisebenzelayo onolwazi olungaphezu kweminyaka eyi-10 emikhakheni eminingi. Unentshisekelo ethile ezindabeni eziphathelene nempilo yengqondo, ukuqina, nokudla.
