Ihlobo selisondele kithi, futhi ngokuqondene nabaningi, selivele selifikile. Izikole bezilokhu ziphuma kanti namazinga okushisa abelokhu ekhuphuka. Unalokhu engqondweni, kunethuba elihle lokuthi uzohambela olwandle ngesinye isikhathi kungekudala. Ngabe akubonakali njengesikhathi esihle sokuphinda uvakashele Vula Amanzi?

Kunzima ukukholelwa, kepha ifilimu yaphuma eminyakeni eyishumi nanye eyedlule kulo Agasti. Oh isikhathi sihamba kanjani. Angifiki olwandle okuvame ukuba ngokwami, kepha lokho akuzange kungivimbe ekucabangeni ngezenzakalo zale filimu cishe ngaso sonke isikhathi lapho ngenza noma ngicabanga ukuthi sengingaphandle komkhathi omkhulu.

Ngithandile Vula Amanzi selokhu ngaqala ukuyibona. Ngenye yalawo ma-movie angavamile, kimi, abamba uhlobo olwesabekayo lokwesaba oluvela ngqo kulokho elikushoyo. Lokhu kungenzeka kimi, futhi uma kwenzeka, bengizobanjwa ngokuphelele.

Empeleni, i-movie isuselwa endabeni eyiqiniso. Iningi labantu liyazi ukuthi ngiyacabanga, kepha ngiyazibuza ukuthi bangaki abake bazihlupha ngokufunda ngempela ngemicimbi ekhuthaze ifilimu.

Empilweni yangempela, uTom no-Eileen Lonergan, umbhangqwana oshadile waseBaton Rouge, babhajwe oLwandle lwaseCoral (ingxenye yeSouth Pacific ngasogwini olusenyakatho-mpumalanga ye-Australia) ngoJanuwari 25, 1998. Ngemuva kokuqeda uhambo lweminyaka emibili lomsebenzi ne-Peace Corps. babekade behamba ngesikhafu behamba neqembu elisemadwaleni eSt. Njengakwi-movie, akekho umuntu owayesesikebheni sabo owabona ukuthi babengakagibeli kabusha lapho sekuyisikhathi sokuhamba. Ukaputeni kubikwa ukuthi uveze ukuthi unenani labasebenzi elibala amakhanda, nokuthi leyo nombolo ibiyiphutha ngenxa yabantu abebephume bayobhukuda ngemuva kokugibela kabusha.

Ingcaphuno eheha ikakhulukazi evela ku- i-athikili ye-Wikipedia kulo mbhangqwana uthi:

Kwaze kwaphela izinsuku ezimbili, ngoJanuwari 27, 1998, lapho laba bobabili kwatholakala ukuthi babengekho ngemuva kokutholakala kwesikhwama esinezimpahla zabo esikebheni sokuntywila. Ukusesha okukhulu komoya nolwandle kwenzeka ezinsukwini ezintathu ezilandelayo. Yize ezinye zezimpahla zabo zokutshuza zitholakale zigeziwe kamuva olwandle amamayela kude nalapho belahlekile khona, okukhombisa ukuthi bacwile, izidumbu zabo azikaze zitholakale. Abadobi bathole i- isileti sabatshuzi (umshini osetshenziselwa ukuxhumana ngaphansi kwamanzi) futhi wabhala phansi lokho okubikwa ukuthi kufundeka kanje: “[Mo] nday Jan 26; 1998 08 ekuseni. Kunoma ngubani [ongakwazi] ukusisiza: Sishiyiwe e-A [gin] court Reef nguMV Outer Edge ngomhla ka-25 Jan 98 3pm. Sicela usisize [uze] uzosisindisa ngaphambi kokuba sife. Usizo!!!

Kwakunokucatshangelwa kwesinye isikhathi ukuthi lezi zithandani zaziqala ngokwazo ukunyamalala kanye / noma ukuzibulala okuphindwe kabili noma ukuzibulala ngokuncike kokunye okuvela enkingeni yedayari, kepha ngokusho komndeni ka-Eileen, lokhu kukhishwe emongweni futhi kwaxoshwa umndeni njengoba kanye ne-coroner. Ubaba wakhe kubikwa ukuthi wayekholelwa ukuthi lo mbhangqwana uminze noma wanqotshwa oshaka, kwathi ukaputeni wesikebhe, uGeoffrey Nairn, wabekwa icala ngokufa kwabo, kodwa watholakala engenacala. Inkampani yakhe i-Outer Edge Dive Company yahlawuliswa ngemuva kokuvuma icala lobudedengu.

A Isihloko se-2003 kusuka kuJason Daley Wangaphandle unezingcaphuno zeNairn nobaba:

UNairn, ovale i-Outer Edge Dive kungekudala ngemuva kwalokho, ukholelwa ukuthi abaseLonergans bafele emadwaleni. “Kwakuyinhlekelele, futhi angisoze ngakwazi ukubhekana nakho,” etshela Ngaphandle. "Ithuba elikhulu ukuthi uTom no-Eileen bashonile."

Emuva eBaton Rouge, ubaba ka-Eileen, uJohn Hains, naye ukholelwa ukuthi lezi zithandani zaminza ngemuva kokushiywa ngephutha. "Imboni yokudonsela e-Australia yayifuna ukufakazela ukuthi uTom no-Eileen babenza amanga ngokufa kwabo," esho ngemibono yokunyamalala. "Kodwa izinga lokusinda olwandle ungenandawo ongaya kuyo alikho."

A Indaba evela ku-Guardian ebhalwe ngemuva kokukhishwa kwe-movie uthi:

Eminye imikhondo inikeze amazwibela amahle okwakungase kwenzeke. I-wetsuit yobukhulu buka-Eileen igezwe enyakatho yeQueensland ekuqaleni kukaFebhuwari; ososayensi abalinganisa ijubane lokukhula kwezinqolobane ku-zip yalo balinganisela ukuthi lalahleka ngoJanuwari 26. Izinyembezi ezintweni ezisondele ezinqeni nasekhwapheni ngokusobala zazibangelwe yi-coral.

Amajakhethi e-infiveable dive amakwe amagama kaTom no-Eileen kamuva agezwa ogwini olusenyakatho nePort Douglas, kanye namathangi abo - asakhuthazwa izinsalela ezimbalwa zomoya - nenye yamaphiko ka-Eileen. Akekho owakhombisa izimpawu zomonakalo obuzowulindela kusukela ekugcineni okunodlame, okuphakamisa ukuthi lo mbhangqwana bekungewona isisulu sokuhlaselwa koshaka, njengoba kusikisela ifilimu. Ochwepheshe balolu phenyo babecabanga ukuthi, behamba bengenakusiza beya emuva naphambili kumagagasi elangeni elishisayo elangeni, kungenzeka ukuthi lezi zithandani zashayelwa amanzi ngenxa yokwehla emzimbeni futhi zazabalaza ngokuzikhandla zigqoka izingubo zazo ezinzima. Ngaphandle kokuphakama okunikezwa ngamabhantshi abo okuntywila kanye nezimpahla ezimanzi, bebengeke bakwazi ukunyathela amanzi isikhathi eside.

Indaba yabakwaLonergans ivele kuwo womabili ama-20/20 nakuDateline.

Vula Amanzi inguqulo eqanjiwe yemicimbi. Abalingiswa bahlukile, futhi nokulungiselelwa kwehlukile nge-movie eyenzeka e-Atlantic futhi iqoshwa eBahamas, eVirgin Islands, eGrenadines naseMexico.

UKevin Cassell uthi ubazi uTom no-Eileen, futhi wafaka le vidiyo ku-YouTube ukukhombisa ukuthi babenjani ngempela, ngokusho kwakhe, okwakungafani neze nabalingiswa Vula Amanzi.

Kubalulekile ukukhumbula lokho Vula Amanzi akuyona idokhumentari. Ekupheleni kosuku, yi-movie ethusayo futhi esebenza kahle kakhulu kulokho. Noma ngabe ifilimu bekungekhona ukumelwa okunembile kwabantu bangempela izehlakalo ezibuhlungu ezenzeke kubo, ngicabanga ukuthi ziyabhekana kahle nokwesaba kwesimo esinjalo kahle kakhulu. Vele angikaze ngibe sesimweni esinjalo, kepha kukhona engikwaziyo. Ngeke ngithathe noma yikuphi ukuhamba nge-scuba duzane nganoma yisiphi isikhathi maduzane, futhi uma ngikwenza, ayikho indlela engingeke ngicabange ngayo Vula Amanzi.
