NgoJulayi 22nd ka-1975, kwavela lezi zindaba ezilandelayo emaphepheni: insizwa eneminyaka engu-17, u-Erskine Lawrence Ebbin, owabulawa yitekisi ngesikhathi eshayela i-moped emgwaqeni eHamilton, enhlokodolobha yaseBermuda. Kuze kube manje yonke into ibijwayelekile kuze kube yilapho omunye isisulu sezingozi zomgwaqo efika emqondweni wawo wonke umuntu.
Ukusho lokhu, lesi simo sasingesiyintsha kuleli dolobha, ngoba ngonyaka owodwa ngaphambili umfowabo omdala ka-Erskine, uNeville, naye owayeneminyaka engu-17 ubudala, wahlaselwa yitekisi emgwaqweni ofanayo ngesikhathi eshayela i-moped.
Okumangalisa kakhulu ngaleli cala ukuthi itekisi ibishayelwa ngusomatekisi ofanayo… futhi ibiphethe umgibeli ofanayo. Lezi zingozi zenzeke ngemizuzu engama-50 kuphela ngosuku olufanayo (Julayi 21), 1974 nango-1975, ngokusho kwamaphoyisa akulesi siqhingi.
Ukuqoshwa kwezindaba kwi-Miami Herald kaJulayi 22, 1975:
Izindaba ezibuhlungu ezingamawele nazo zabikwa kuLos Angeles Times kaJulayi 22, 1975:
Ngakho-ke, akungabazeki ukuthi 'umcimbi wamawele' wenzeka ngempela eHamilton ngoJulayi 1975.
IBermuda (ngokusemthethweni, Iziqhingi zeBermuda noma iThe Somers Isles) inendawo elinganiselwe, futhi inhlokodolobha yayo iHamilton isabalele endaweni encane engamahektare angama-70 (cishe amahektare ayi-173), enabantu abaphilayo abayi-1,800 nje ngo-2010. Lokhu kusho ukuthi, Ngo-1974, inani labantu abahlala endaweni yezingozi lalingaphansi kakhulu, futhi inani lamakhabishi kule ndawo nabantu abawasebenzisayo lizoba lincane kakhulu.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, bekungeke kuqondane nje ukuthi abafowethu ababili bebehlala endaweni efanayo nokuthi omunye uzuze njengefa ukuncintisana komfowabo. Ngakho-ke amathuba okuthi laba bazalwane ababili bangashayiswa ikhumbi eyodwa (ethwele umgibeli ofanayo) emgwaqweni ofanayo ngeke abe mancane kangako. Ukuqondana okubuhlungu, kepha okuthakazelisayo noma kunjalo.
