Zonsezi zinayamba mu 2002, pamene pa maphunziro apamwamba a dive ndi kasitomala wophunzira, Dr. Ashraf Sabri, dokotala woyamba wa hyperbaric ku Sinai, yemwenso ndi mwiniwake wa Alexandria Dive Center (ADC), adapeza mthunzi wakuda pa phiri la Sinai. pansi pa Nyanja ya Mediterranean yolemera ndi yachonde.
Pofunitsitsa kuulula chinsinsicho, iye anayandikira pafupi ndi “chilombo chopanda moyo” chimene chinali pansi pa nyanja yamiyala. "Kumeneko kunali, atagona kumanja kwake, kugawanika pakati, kuyembekezera kuti tipeze pambuyo pa zaka zonsezi," adatero pamene akupita mozama mpaka mamita 30 m'dera la Mex, mphindi 20 kuchokera ku doko lakummawa. Alexandria ndi ADC.
Sabri anaganiza kuti torpedo yomwe inachititsa kuti izimire iyenera kuti inagunda ngalawayo. “Ndinamva mtima wanga ukugunda pamene tikuyandikira ngoziyo. Wophunzira wanga ndi ine tinazindikira kuti chinali chinthu chabwino kwambiri chotulukira,” iye anatero ponena za kugwa pa ngozi yake yoyamba. Atafika kumtunda, ankadzifunsa kuti n’chifukwa chiyani palibe amene wapezapo ngoziyi komanso kuti Alex angotsala pang’ono kuti awonongeke. Kodi zinathera bwanji kumeneko? Chifukwa chiyani icho chinapita ku Alexandria?
Sabri anakumana ndi ngozi ya sitima yapamadzi yaku Germany yomwe inkagwiritsidwa ntchito ngati woyendetsa migodi pa Nkhondo Yachiwiri Yapadziko Lonse. Mwinamwake, iye anati torpedo ya ku Britain, yomwe inagawanika kukhala zigawo ziwiri zazikulu, koma inasiya kachigawo kakang'ono pakati pakatikati, idatsitsa. Mbali yakumbuyo kapena kumbuyo ndi mamita 24.5; chapakati, mamita anayi ndi kutsogolo kapena uta ndi mamita 15.3. Mtunda wa pafupifupi mamita atatu kapena asanu umalekanitsa gawo lirilonse, ndi utawo ukuloza ku 300 kum'mwera chakum'mawa molunjika ku gombe. Izi zikutsimikizira kuti idagundidwa poyesa kukafika padoko ku Alexandria. Chigawo cha uta chikutsamira kumanja kwake, ndipo mbali yake yambiri imakwiriridwa mumchenga. Payenera kukhala mizinga yayikulu yomwe ili pamenepo, yomwe ingawonekere poyamwa mchenga kapena njira ina yoyeretsera yomwe idzawululenso dzina la sitimayo. Njira yophunzirira ngoziyi idatenga milungu ingapo.
Kwa Sabri ndi gulu lake ku ADC, chinali chiyambi chabe cha zowonongeka zambiri kuti apeze. Iye anati, “Monga mwini wa malo okhawo odumphira m’madzi m’boma, ndinadziwa kuti mwayi wopezanso ngozi zina unali pa ine ndi ADC. Kupeza kumeneku kunakwaniritsa maloto anga. Inali nthawi yabwino kwambiri.”
Pambuyo pa kupambana kwake koyambirira, adapita kumadzi mobwerezabwereza, osati kungotenga magulu osambira ndikupereka maphunziro, koma kuti awonenso kufufuza kwina kulikonse. Mwina Alexandria ayenera kuti anali kubisala kuposa zimene anali ataona kale.
Sabri anali wolondola ponena za matumbo ake. Posakhalitsa anapeza ndege yankhondo yachiŵiri ya padziko lonse ya ku Britain, yozunguliridwa ndi amphora achifumu omwe ankagwiritsidwa ntchito ngati chakudya ndi zakumwa, miyala ya miyala ya laimu yochepa komanso mizati yochokera ku nyumba yachifumu yakale. Zikuoneka ngati kuti nthawi ziwiri za mbiriyakale zinamira pamalo amodzi.
“Izi zinali zodabwitsa kwambiri. Ndinafunika mayankho ku mafunso ambiri monga:
N’chifukwa chiyani ndegeyo inagwera m’kati mwa doko? Zomwe zidayambitsa
kuwonongeka? Kodi nchifukwa ninji ndegeyo inali idakali yosasunthika, yooneka bwino kwambiri, yosungidwa bwino kusiyapo magalasi ochepa osweka? Ngakhale chigoba cha okosijeni cha woyendetsa ndegeyo chinali chikhalire pamenepo,” adatero.
Zomwe zili pansipa zidamuvutitsa. Anafunikira kufotokozera mpaka tsiku lina, atamwa tiyi ndi munthu wina wokalamba, anapeza mayankho.
“Pa ulendo wopita ku nyumba ya mayi wokalamba ameneyu pamwamba pa ofesi yanga m’nyumba ina pafupi ndi ADC, ndinali wokondwa kutchula zimene tapeza zatsopano za ngozi ya ndege. Ndinadabwa kwambiri atandiuza nkhani inayake imene amakumbukira bwino kwambiri yokhudza ndegeyi,” anatero Sabri.
Iye anayang’ana m’mbuyo m’maŵa wina womvetsa chisoni uja mu 1942, mkati mwa Nkhondo Yadziko II, (pamene mtsikana wamng’ono panthaŵiyo ankakhala ndi makolo ake m’nyumba yoyang’anizana ndi doko la kum’maŵa), anaona chinthu chachilendo. Ndege yankhondo ya ku Britain inali kuwadzera kumene. Ndege imeneyi nthawi zambiri inkadutsa ku Alexandria. Chachiwiri chimenecho, inali pafupi kugwera m'nyumba yogonamo.
Anakuwa, kuchititsa chidwi amayi ake. “Taonani, ndege ikubwera kumene ife,” iye analira. Komabe, panthaŵi yomalizira, woyendetsa ndegeyo anathaŵa kupeŵa nyumbazo ndipo anayendetsa ndege yake kulowera kudoko. Idamira m’nyanja, n’kumatsatira utsi wambiri kumbuyo kwake. Atafika bwinobwino mumzindawo ndipo asanakhudze madziwo, woyendetsa ndegeyo ndi gulu lake anatsegula njira yopulumukiramo, n’kuvala ma parachuti awo. Iwo ananyenga imfa m’tsoka lotsatira. Anati panthawiyo, anthu kuphatikizapo asilikali, akadali ndi makhalidwe olemekezeka a msilikali ndi njonda komanso kulemekeza moyo wa anthu wamba. Anaika moyo wawo pachiswe kuti atetezere anthu osalakwa. Iwo sakanadumphira m’ndege mu ma parachuti, ndi kuisiya iyo kung’amba nyumba ndi kupha anthu wamba.
Sabri adatsimikizira kuti adapeza ndege ya ku Britain, yomwe ili pamwamba pa nyumba yachifumu pansi pamadzi ya Mark Anthony, koma inali yosowa kwambiri chidziwitso ndi zizindikiro za kupanga kwake ndi gulu lake. Pambuyo pake, alendo a mwamuna ndi mkazi anatulukira pakhomo pake. Bamboyo anati, “Tsoka ilo, sindimadziwira pansi, ndipo sindingathe kuona ngoziyo, koma ndikukhulupirira kuti bambo anga anali oyendetsa ndegeyi. Anali mmodzi wa oyendetsa ndege amene anagwetsa ndege yake yankhondo padoko la Alexandria panthaŵi ya Nkhondo Yadziko II!”
Zomwe ndinachita zinali zosakhulupirira, kudabwa komanso kudabwa. Sindinayambe ndakhalapo ndi mwayi wotero. Apa ndinakumana maso ndi maso ndi munthu amene anavumbula chinsinsi cha ndegeyi. Cliff Colis anafotokoza nkhani ya abambo ake, Frederick Collis.
Ndi kalata yomwe idatumizidwa pambuyo pake kwa Sabri, Cliff adati, "Abambo anga Lieutenant Fredrick Thomas Collis poyambirira anali Air Observer kenako adakhala Navigator. Adalowa nawo gulu lankhondo la Royal Australian Air Force (monga anali waku Australia, pobadwa) ndipo adatumizidwa ku RAF yaku Britain. "
Ndege ya Fred, Beaufort of the Royal Air Force yakhala chiwonongeko chakale pansi panyanja, ndi uta wake wolowera polowera doko lalikulu. Collis wamng'ono anati, "Ndikukumbukira zomwe zinachitika paulendo wake ku Egypt - pamene iwo (iye ndi antchito ake) anali atatsala pang'ono kugunda mu hotelo ya Cornish (hotelo ya Cecil ku Alexandria). Ndege yake idataya utali chifukwa cha zovuta zaukadaulo. Mwakuyana kwatsitsi, ndegeyo idadula nyumba za m'mphepete mwa nyanja molunjika ku Cornish. Pochita mantha, ogwira ntchitowo adatseka maso awo (kuphatikizapo woyendetsa ndege). Patangopita nthawi pang’ono pozindikira kuti akadali ndi moyo, ndegeyo inazungulira cham’mbali, n’kudutsa kumapeto kwa hoteloyo, kupulumutsa alendo a Cecil ndi iwo eni.”
Fred anayenera kuwuluka kupita ku Malta tsiku limenelo, kukachita ntchito yobisalira ya convoy; Komabe, mnzake wina anapempha kuti achite naye malonda. Fred anasinthana ntchito yake kumene onse anaphedwa ku Malta. Lt. Collis adapulumutsidwa ndikusinthana, komabe adakwiya chifukwa chotaya zida zake zonse pangoziyo.
Zowonongekazo zinakhala chilakolako cha Sabri; zomwe atulukira, ntchito yake. Anapitirizabe kufunafuna zambiri kuti adzipangire yekha dzina komanso malo osambira omwe apanga zinthu zambiri za WWII m'zinthu zonse zomwe zapezeka pansi pa madzi ku Egypt.
Anapeza SS Aragon, sitima yapamadzi ya WWII yoperekezedwa ndi HMS Attack yomwe ili pafupi makilomita asanu ndi atatu kumpoto kwa Western Harbor. Zinakwaniritsa tsogolo lake ndendende pa tchanelo lopangira zolowera mabwato. Pamene gulu losambira lidapeza kuti ngalawayo inasweka, malo owonongekawo anamira pamodzi (SS Aragon ndi HMS Attack).
Malinga ndi lipoti la Sabri, SS Aragon idakhazikitsidwa pa February 23, 1905, ndi kampani yoyamba yamapasa awiri ya Countess Fitzwilliam. Idachoka ku England kupita ku Marseille ku France, kenako Malta kupita ku Alexandria, ndi asitikali 2700. Polowa padoko pa Disembala 30, 1917, idagundidwa ndi sitima yapamadzi yaku Germany UC34. Inamira nthawi yomweyo, itatenga amalinyero 610.
HMS Attack, wowononga, adabwera kudzapulumutsa koma adawomberedwanso. Tsokalo lidalembedwa mu kalata yosasainidwa ya Marichi 5, 1918 - yotumizidwa ndi msilikali wosadziwika wa SS Aragon kwa John William Hannay pofuna kuti apumule za mwana wake wamkazi, Agnes McCall Nee Hannay. Abiti Hannay anali VAD yemwe anali m'bwalo panthawi ya chiwembucho. Anapulumukadi.
Mpaka pano, gulu losambira lomwe linatsogoleredwa ndi Dr. Sabri, likupitiriza kumasula zinsinsi za m'nyanja ndi zowonongeka zobisika ku Alexandria, kuphatikizapo ndege zankhondo za ku Germany zomwe zinamizidwa ndi asilikali ogwirizana ndipo mwinamwake, chuma chamtengo wapatali cha Cleopatra ndi Anthony.
Mwana wa malemu Kapiteni Medhat Sabri, msilikali wapamadzi waku Egypt yemwe anali woyang'anira gulu lalikulu la zombo zapamadzi ndipo pambuyo pake, adalamula oyendetsa ndege onse a Suez Canal atatha kukhazikitsidwa kwa njirayo, komanso mdzukulu wa Colonel Ibrahim Sabri, wamkulu wa Coast Guard. dera la Chipululu chakumadzulo ndipo kenako adakhala bwanamkubwa wa Alex, Sabri adapeza zowononga 13, mpaka pano, ku Alexandria pakati pa Abu Qir ndi Abu Taalat. Iye akuyembekezera mwachidwi kuphunzira n’kupeza zinthu zinanso zokwana 180 zimene zawonongeka m’mphepete mwa nyanja ya Iguputo. Dokotala amatsimikiziranso kuti ali kwinakwake kuti anthu osiyanasiyana komanso okonda afufuze.
