IBennington Triangle "Bennington Triangle" yigama elakhiwa umlobi waseNew England uJoseph A. Citro ukukhombisa indawo eseningizimu-ntshonalanga yeVermont lapho kudlule khona abantu abaningana.
UFrya Langer wanyamalala ngo-Okthoba 28, 1950. Njengabanye abaningi ababengaphambi kwakhe, uFrieda wanyamalala ngokuphelele kwaba sengathi ibhizinisi lakhe lalimhlanyisa.
Ukuze uhlale uthintana futhi wamukele izindaba zethu zakamuva
Ngalo lolo suku ekwindla, uFrieda nomzala wakhe baqala ukuhamba besuka ekamu labo eliwugwadule eduze naseNtabeni yaseGlastenbury.
Ilanga lalikhanya eduze komkhathi futhi nomoya wawunambitheka ngokuphumelelayo ubusika obuzayo. Konke kwakubonakala kukujwayelekile futhi kunokuthula kuze kube yilapho uFrya enyamalala ngokushesha emgqeni wezinkuni.
Phezu kokusesha okuningi kwale ndawo ngesithupha, akukatholakali ntokazi etholakele. Kwathi emva kwezinyanga eziyisikhombisa kwavela isidumbu sakhe, silele emgqeni lapho anyamalala khona. Wagqoka izingubo ezifanayo, umzimba wawungabolile futhi akukho sizathu sokufa esasinganqunywa.
Kwakunjengokungathi isigaxa sase sishonile ngenxa yokushaqeka imizuzu eyishumi ngaphambili, kusho isikhulu samaphoyisa ngaleso sikhathi. Akekho owabona ukuthi ivelaphi, akekho owabona ukuthi ivelaphi. Kuyaphazamisa.
Okungenani ekugcineni uFrieda usebuyile, noma ngabe ufile. Kwezinye izimo eziningi kunxantathu weBennington, izisulu azikaze zitholakale. Zinyamalele ezingadini zazo, emibhedeni yazo, eziteshini zikaphethiloli, ezindlini ezifuywayo. Indoda eyodwa, uJames Tetford, yalahleka yize ihleli ebhasini.
Lokho kunyamalala, ngoDisemba 1, 1949, kwahilela umuntu owayengabaza kakhulu owayekade ehlekisa ngombono wokuthile okungaphezu kwemvelo. Uma eseguqukile umqondo wakhe ngeke sazi.
Ngemuva kokuvakashela izihlobo eSt Albans ntambama ebandayo, uMnu. Tetford wagibela ibhasi lakhe ebuya eBennington, lapho ayehlala khona khona amasosha. Kwakunabagibeli abangu-14 ebhasini belibangise eBennington futhi bonke bafakazela ukuthi babona lo msizi owayeyisosha ehleli esihlalweni sakhe.
Kodwa-ke, lapho ibhasi ifika lapho iya khona imizuzu emihlanu kamuva, uMnu Tetford wayesenyamalele. Izinto zakhe zahlala esibondeni futhi kwavulwa ikhalenda esihlalweni lapho ehleli khona. Kwakungekho mkhondo wendoda uqobo. Akukaze kubonwe kusukela lapho.
Ukunyamalala kwakhe kuza ngemuva kweminyaka emithathu ngokunyamalala okungajwayelekile. Umfundi oneminyaka engu-100 ubudala uPaula Welden wahamba ngezinyawo ehamba ngeLong Trail eNtabeni iGlastenbury, walandelwa umbhangqwana ophakathi kweminyaka eyi-XNUMX amamitha kude.
Kwenzekani kuPaula Jean Welden?
Lo mbhangqwana ubone uPaula elandela indlela ezungeze idwala futhi engabonakali phambi kwawo. Ngesikhathi befika e-spur, wayesekho futhi akekho noyedwa ombonile noma ozwayo kuye. Kwase kuyisinye isibalo sikanxantathu weBennington.
Isisulu esincane kunazo zonke esaziwa ngunxantathu kwakunguPaul Jepson oneminyaka eyisishiyagalombili, nokunyamalala kwakhe kwenzeka ezinsukwini eziyi-16 ngaphambi kwalowo owayehamba ngezinyawo uFrieda Langer.
Unina kaPaul, ongumondli, wamvumela wadlala ngaphandle kwe-pigsty ngenkathi engena ngaphakathi ezonakekela izilwane. Ngesikhathi eqala ukusinda emzimbeni, umfana wayesenyamalele futhi, njengakwezinye izimo eziningi, akaze abekhona umkhondo wakhe owatholakala ngemuva kocwaningo olunzulu.
Ngo-1975, indoda egama linguJackson Wright yayishayela nenkosikazi yayo isuka eNew York iya eNew York City. Lokhu bekudinga ukuthi bahambe ngeLincoln Tunnel. Ngokusho kukaWarright, obeshayela, wavele wadabula umhubhe, wadonsa imoto ukuhlanza isisefo somoya esinamandla.
Umkakhe uMartha wazinikelwa ukuthi ahlanze iwashi elingemuva ukuze akwazi ukuqhubeka nohambo kalula. Lapho uWallight ephenduka, umkakhe wayengasekho. Azange ezwe noma abone lutho olungavamile lwenzeka, futhi uphenyo olwalandela alutholanga bufakazi bokuthi kunenkohliso. UMartha Wright wayesanda kunyamalala.
Ngakho-ke laba bantu nabanye abaningi baye kuphi, futhi kungani le ngxenye ebonakala ingenangozi eMelika eduze komngcele waseCanada yaba yisikhungo somsebenzi esibi?
Akekho onempendulo yanoma imuphi umbuzo, kodwa kubonakala sengathi idumela elibi lezindawo zavela kudala. Kuyaziwa, ngokwesibonelo, ukuthi ngekhulu le-XNUMX nele-XNUMX amaNdiya aseMelika agwema ugwadule lwaseGlastenbury, ekholelwa ukuthi kuhanjwa yimimoya emibi. Babelisebenzisa kuphela njengendawo yokungcwaba.
Ngokwenganekwane yomdabu, yonke imimoya yomine yahlangana nokuthile lapho ethola okuhlangenwe nakho okuphuma kulomhlaba. Abomdabu bade bakholelwa nokuthi ogwadule luqukethe itshe elifakiwe elizogwinya konke okudlulayo.
Inkolelo-ze kuphela? Lokhu yilokhu abafowethu abamhlophe bokuqala ababekucabanga nalokho ababeqhubeka bekucabanga kuze kube yilapho abangane nemindeni yabo sebeqala ukunyamalala.
