I-JAKARTA, I-Indonesia - Inyikima enamandla yahlasela i-Indonesia esentshona ngoLwesithathu, ibangela ukudilika komhlaba kunye nokuvalela amawaka phantsi kwezakhiwo ezidilikileyo - kubandakanywa nezibhedlele ezimbini, igosa lathi. Ubuncinci imizimba engama-75 efunyenweyo, kodwa inani lokurhafisa bekulindeleke ukuba libe phezulu kakhulu.
Inyikima yaqalisa imililo, yaqhawula iindlela kwaye yacima amandla kunye nonxibelelwano ukuya ePadang, isixeko esiselunxwemeni sabantu abangama-900,000 kwisiqithi saseSumatra. Amawaka asaba esoyika, esoyika itsunami.
Izakhiwo zazithe qelele kwiikhilomitha ezingamakhulu eMalaysia naseSingapore.
Kwisixeko sasePadang esithe saa, ukushukuma kwakunamandla kangangokuba abantu babegoba okanye bahlale esitratweni bephepha ukuwa. Abantwana badanduluka njengoko imfuduko yamawaka yayizama ukubaleka elunxwemeni ngeemoto nezithuthuthu, bekhalisa amaxilongo.
Inyikima ye-7.6 ye-magnitude ibethe ngo-5: 15 pm (1015GMT, 6:15 am EDT), ngaphandle nje konxweme lwasePadang, i-US Geological Survey yabika. Yenzeka kusuku emva kokuba i-tsunami ebulalayo ihlasele iziqithi ezikuMzantsi wePasifiki kwaye yayisecaleni kwendlela efanayo eyabangela itsunami yaseAsia ngo-2004 eyabulala abantu abangama-230,000 kumazwe ali-11.
Isilumkiso ngetsunami sikhutshwe ngoLwesithathu kumazwe agudle uLwandlekazi lwaseIndiya, kodwa sasuswa emva kweyure; akuzange kubekho zingxelo zamaza amakhulu.
I-temblor yatshayela izakhiwo kwaye yagawula imithi ePadang, yonakalisa ii-mosque kunye neehotele kunye neemoto ezityumkileyo. Unyawo lwalubonakala luphuma kwimfumba enye yengqushu. Kobu bumnyama bugqubayo emva nje kwenyikima, abahlali balwe imililo ngeeemele zamanzi kwaye basebenzisa izandla zabo ukukhangela abasindileyo, betsala ingqushu beyijula iqhekeza ngeqhekeza.
“Abantu babalekela kwiindawo eziphakamileyo. Izindlu nezakhiwo zonakaliswe kakhulu,” utshilo uKasmiati, ohlala kunxweme olukufutshane nesiqalo sale nyikima.
“Bendingaphandle, ke ndikhuselekile, kodwa abantwana bam ekhaya bonzakele,” utshilo ngaphambi kokuba ifowuni yakhe iphele. Njengabantu abaninzi baseIndonesia, usebenzisa igama elinye.
Ukuphulukana nenkonzo yomnxeba kuye kwawenza nzulu amaxhala abo bangaphandle kwendawo ehlaselweyo.
“Ndifuna ukwazi ukuba kwenzeka ntoni kudade wethu nomyeni wakhe,” watsho uFitra Jaya, ongumnini wendlu kumbindi wedolophu yasePadang owayeseJakarta xa kwaqhambuka inyikima. “Ndizamile ukutsalela usapho lwam apho, kodwa andizange ndifumane mntu kwaphela.”
Iingxelo zokuqala ezifunyenwe ngurhulumente zathi abantu abangama-75 babulewe, kodwa elona nani “lingaphezulu ngokuqinisekileyo,” uSekela Mongameli uJusuf Kalla uxelele iintatheli kwikomkhulu laseJakarta. “Kunzima ukuchaza kuba kukho imvula enkulu kunye nobumnyama,” utshilo.
Umphathiswa wezempilo uSiti Fadilah Supari uxelele iMetroTV ukuba izibhedlele ezibini kunye nevenkile enkulu ziye zawa ePadang.
"Le yintlekele ephezulu, inamandla ngaphezu kwenyikima eYogyakarta ngo-2006 xa abantu abangaphezu kwe-3,000 bafa," kusho uSupari, ebhekisela kwisixeko esikhulu kwisiqithi esikhulu sase-Indonesia saseJava.
Izibhedlele bezisokola ukunyanga abonzakeleyo njengoko izalamane zabo bezihleli kufutshane.
Urhulumente wase-Indonesia ubhengeze i-10 yezigidi zeedola kuncedo lokuphendula olungxamisekileyo kwaye amaqela ezonyango kunye neenqwelomoya zomkhosi zathunyelwa ukuba zimise izibhedlele zasendle kwaye zisasaze iintente, amayeza kunye nokutya. Amalungu eKhabhinethi ayelungiselela ukuba kubhubhe amawaka ngamawaka.
URustam Pakaya, intloko yeziko lezempilo lezempilo, uthe "amawakawaka abantu avaleleke phantsi kwezindlu ezidilikileyo."
"Izakhiwo ezininzi zonakaliswe kakhulu, kubandakanywa neehotele kunye ne-mosque," watsho uWandono, igosa kwi-Arhente yeMeteorology kunye ne-Geophysics eJakarta, echaza iingxelo ezivela kubahlali.
UKalla uthe eyona ndawo ichaphazeleke kakhulu yiPariaman, idolophu eselunxwemeni emalunga neekhilomitha ezingama-40 (iikhilomitha ezingama-60) kumntla-ntshona wePadang. Akazange anike zinkcukacha ngokutshatyalaliswa okanye ukufa apho.
Umabonakude wasekuhlaleni uchaze ngaphezulu kweshumi elinesibini lokudilika komhlaba. Abanye bavale iindlela, nto leyo eyabangela ukuxinana kweemoto neelori kangangeekhilomitha ubude.
NgoLwesibini, inyikima enamandla evela kwiziqithi zaseMzantsi Pacific zaseSamoa, e-American Samoa naseTonga - amawaka eekhilomitha ukusuka e-Indonesia - yabangela i-tsunami eyabulala abantu abangaphezu kwe-100. Iingcali zithi iziganeko zenyikima azinxulumananga.
Zombini iphondo lase-Aceh lase-Indonesia, elatshatyalaliswa yitsunami ngo-2004 kwafa abantu abayi-130,000, kwaye iPadang ikwimpazamo efanayo. Ibaleka kunxweme olusentshona lweSumatra kwaye yindawo yokuhlangana ye-Eurasian kunye nePasifiki yeetectonic plates, ebezityhalana ngokuchaseneyo kangangezigidi zeminyaka, zibangela uxinezeleko olukhulu.
Izazinzulu kudala zicebisa ukuba iPadang iya kuba nengxaki efanayo ne-Aceh kumashumi eminyaka ezayo. Olunye uqikelelo lwathi abantu abangama-60,000 baya kubulawa - ubukhulu becala ngamaza amakhulu aveliswa yinyikima engaphantsi kolwandle.
Uqikelelo olubi lusasaze i-alam kulo lonke elasePadang, eyabethwa yinyikima ngo-2007 eyabulala abantu abaninzi.
I-Indonesia, ichwebakazi elikhulu elineziqithi ezingaphezu kwe-17,000 235 nabemi abazizigidi ezingama-XNUMX, intlantsana yelizwekazi yaye ityekele kuhlaselo lwenyikima kwindawo eyaziwa ngokuba yiPasifiki yoMlilo.
