David Hanak Cishe ubhalise inhlekelele yemvelo eye yaqeda i-American Texas ezinsukwini zakamuva. Isiphepho uHarvey sashaya ugu ngamandla amakhulu futhi sacekela phansi yonke into eyayisendleleni yaso. Inqwaba yabantu ifaka isandla ukusiza izakhamuzi ezithintekile. Kusukela kubantu abathumela izimali nge-Red Cross nezinhlangano ezifanayo, kuya ezinkampanini ezinkulu ezinikela ngezinga elikhulu - njenge yenziwe ngu-Apple. Njengoba manje kuvela, i-Apple ayifaki isandla ngokwezimali kuphela. Izisulu eziningi kusayithi zichaza ukuthi i-Apple yashintsha kanjani imikhiqizo yabo eyayilinyazwe yisiphepho.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Ngokolwazi oluvela ku-inthanethi, i-Apple kufanele ihlinzeke ngokulungiswa kwamahhala noma nokushintshwa kwemishini. Ngokolwazi lokuqala, le mikhuba ayisebenzi yonke indawo, lokhu kusolakala ukuthi kwenzeka ezitolo eziningi ezinophawu ezindaweni ezithintekile.
I-Apple kufanele ilungise/ishintshe amadivaysi awonakaliswe amanzi noma alimele nganoma iyiphi indlela ngesikhathi sokuphuma. Ngakho-ke lezi izinhlobo zomonakalo ngokuvamile obungeke zimbozwe iwaranti yakudala.
Imithombo yezindaba yakwamanye amazwe izamile ukuthola umbono osemthethweni, kodwa ngokolwazi olutholakalayo, awukho umthethonqubo ovumelekile emhlabeni jikelele. Ngakho-ke lokhu kulungiswa/ukushintsha kuphuma enkolelweni yezitolo ngazinye futhi icala ngalinye lihlolwa ngokwehlukana. Kodwa-ke, kungacatshangwa ukuthi umyalo walesi sinyathelo uvela phezulu.
Ngokwezilinganiso zamanje, iSiphepho uHarvey sacekela phansi kakhulu kuneSiphepho uKatrina, esagadla eNew Orleans ngo-2005. Izilinganiso zomonakalo wamanje zisukela ku-$150 kuya ku-$180 billion. Njengamanje zingu-43 izisulu ezaziwayo. Izakhamuzi ezingaphezu kwezinkulungwane ezingama-43 kwadingeka zikhishwe. Izingxenye eziningi zezindawo ezithintekile zisakhungethwe yizikhukhula ezinkulu.
