Ailesi denize s\u00fcr\u00fcklendikten sonra yard\u0131m almak i\u00e7in saatlerce y\u00fczen 13 ya\u015f\u0131ndaki Avustralyal\u0131 \u00e7ocuk BBC’ye konu\u015ftu ve “Kahraman oldu\u011fumu d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnm\u00fcyorum, sadece yapmam gerekeni yapt\u0131m” dedi. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Austin Appelbee, iki k\u00fcrek tahtas\u0131na tutunmu\u015f halde suda b\u0131rakt\u0131ktan d\u00f6rt saat sonra nihayet k\u0131y\u0131ya ula\u015ft\u0131\u011f\u0131nda, annesi Joanne, erkek karde\u015fi Beau ve k\u0131z karde\u015fi Grace’in hala sa\u011f olup olmad\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 bilmiyordu.<\/p>\n

Avustralya’n\u0131n bat\u0131 k\u0131y\u0131lar\u0131ndan kilometrelerce uzakta, dalgalar b\u00fcy\u00fcyor, \u0131\u015f\u0131k azalmaya ba\u015fl\u0131yordu. Annesi art\u0131k o\u011flunun da kurtulamam\u0131\u015f olabilece\u011finden korkuyordu.<\/p>\n

Saatler sonra, Joanne nihayet kurtarma botunu g\u00f6r\u00fcnce o\u011flunun g\u00fcvende oldu\u011funu \u00f6\u011frendi. O zamana kadar o ve \u00e7ocuklar\u0131 k\u0131y\u0131dan 14 kilometre uzakla\u015fm\u0131\u015flard\u0131.<\/p>\n

Sahilde ailece ge\u00e7irilen bir g\u00fcn olarak ba\u015flayan olay, Joanne ve ailesi i\u00e7in 10 saatlik bir \u00e7ileye d\u00f6n\u00fc\u015ft\u00fc. <\/p>\n

Austin’in durumu bildirmek i\u00e7in y\u00fczmeye karar vermesi, kurtarma ekipleri taraf\u0131ndan “insan\u00fcst\u00fc” diye nitelendirildi.<\/p>\n

47 ya\u015f\u0131ndaki Joanne, BBC’ye yapt\u0131\u011f\u0131 a\u00e7\u0131klamada “Austin’in kurtulamad\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 varsaym\u0131\u015ft\u0131m” dedi.<\/p>\n

“Sonu\u00e7 olarak hepsinin iyi ve mutlu olmas\u0131 ve hi\u00e7birinin yaralanmamas\u0131 kesinlikle m\u00fckemmel bir sondu.”<\/p>\n

‘Zorlu m\u00fccadele’<\/b><\/p>\n

Joanne’nin anlatt\u0131\u011f\u0131na g\u00f6re, aile ge\u00e7en cuma g\u00fcn\u00fc Perth’e d\u00f6nmeyi planl\u0131yordu ve plaj\u0131n a\u00e7\u0131klar\u0131ndaki s\u0131\u011f suda iki k\u00fcrek tahtas\u0131 ve bir kano ile “biraz e\u011fleniyorlard\u0131” ama \u00e7ocuklar “biraz fazla ileri gitti”:<\/p>\n

“R\u00fczgar \u015fiddetlendi ve olaylar oradan ba\u015flad\u0131. K\u00fcreklerimizi kaybettik ve daha da uzaklara s\u00fcr\u00fcklendik. Her \u015fey \u00e7ok, \u00e7ok h\u0131zl\u0131 bir \u015fekilde alt \u00fcst oldu.”<\/p>\n

Bat\u0131 Avustralya’daki Quindalup sahilinden giderek uzakla\u015ft\u0131klar\u0131n\u0131 fark eden Joanne, bir \u015feyler yapmas\u0131 gerekti\u011fini anlad\u0131. Fakat 12 ya\u015f\u0131ndaki Beau ve sekiz ya\u015f\u0131ndaki Grace’i yaln\u0131z b\u0131rakamazd\u0131.<\/p>\n

“Ba\u015flang\u0131\u00e7ta, k\u0131y\u0131 \u015feridinden \u00e7ok uzakla\u015fmad\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131z i\u00e7in bu gen\u00e7 adam\u0131 yard\u0131m almak \u00fczere geri g\u00f6nderdik” dedi.<\/p>\n

Austin kay\u0131\u011f\u0131 ald\u0131 ama kimse kay\u0131\u011f\u0131n a\u011f\u0131r hasar g\u00f6rd\u00fc\u011f\u00fcn\u00fc ve zaten su almaya ba\u015flad\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 fark etmedi.<\/p>\n

“Kay\u0131k devrilmeye ba\u015flad\u0131, sonra bir k\u00fcre\u011fimi kaybettim ve ba\u015f\u0131m\u0131n belada oldu\u011funu anlad\u0131m. Kolumla k\u00fcrek \u00e7ekmeye ba\u015flad\u0131m.”<\/p>\n

Bir ara kay\u0131\u011f\u0131 \u00e7evirmeyi ba\u015farsa da kay\u0131k yeniden ters d\u00f6nd\u00fc. <\/p>\n

Alabora olan kay\u0131\u011fa tutunan Austin “suda bir \u015fey g\u00f6rd\u00fc” ve bir \u015feyler yapmas\u0131 gerekti\u011fini d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnd\u00fc:<\/p>\n

“Art\u0131k tehlikeli olmaya ba\u015flam\u0131\u015ft\u0131. Birka\u00e7 saattir a\u00e7\u0131ktayd\u0131m.”<\/p>\n

Ailesini \u00e7oktan g\u00f6zden kaybetmi\u015fti, aile de onu. <\/p>\n

Joanne ve \u00e7ocuklar denizde daha da uzakla\u015ft\u0131k\u00e7a dalgalar b\u00fcy\u00fcyor, tahtalar\u0131n \u00fczerinde kalmak zorla\u015f\u0131yor, g\u00f6r\u00fc\u015f mesafesi de k\u00f6t\u00fcle\u015fiyordu.<\/p>\n

Hepsi can yele\u011fi giymi\u015fti ama yanlar\u0131nda yiyecek veya su yoktu.<\/p>\n

“Austin’in k\u0131y\u0131ya \u00e7ok daha h\u0131zl\u0131 ula\u015ft\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnm\u00fc\u015ft\u00fcm” diyor:<\/p>\n

“G\u00fcn ilerledik\u00e7e, bizi kurtarmaya gelen hi\u00e7bir gemi ve kimse olmad\u0131. O da kurtulamad\u0131ysa, ne yapt\u0131m ben, yanl\u0131\u015f bir karar m\u0131 verdim ve di\u011fer iki \u00e7ocu\u011fumu kurtarmaya gelecek biri olacak m\u0131yd\u0131?”<\/p>\n

Bu s\u0131rada Austin, i\u015fine yaramad\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 fark edip bir s\u00fcre sonra can yele\u011fini b\u0131rakt\u0131 ve son d\u00f6rt kilometreyi y\u00fczmeye ba\u015flad\u0131.<\/p>\n

Sonraki iki saat boyunca, “ger\u00e7ekten korkmu\u015f” 13 ya\u015f\u0131ndaki \u00e7ocu\u011fu ayakta tutan \u015fey dua, ilahiler ve “mutlu d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnceler” oldu:<\/p>\n

“Annemi, Beau’yu ve Grace’i d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fcyordum. Ayr\u0131ca arkada\u015flar\u0131m\u0131 ve k\u0131z arkada\u015f\u0131m\u0131 da d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fcyordum. Ger\u00e7ekten \u00e7ok iyi bir arkada\u015f \u00e7evrem var.<\/p>\n

“Sahile vard\u0131\u011f\u0131mda, ‘\u015eu anda nas\u0131l karaday\u0131m, bu bir r\u00fcya m\u0131?’ diye d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnd\u00fcm.”<\/p>\n

Sonra akl\u0131na ailesi geldi. Hala hayatta olabilirlerdi. <\/p>\n

Yerel saatle yakla\u015f\u0131k 18:00 (TS\u0130 13:00) civar\u0131nda nihayet annesinin sahilde kalan \u00e7antas\u0131ndaki telefonuna ula\u015ft\u0131 ve yard\u0131m istedi. <\/p>\n

Polisin a\u00e7\u0131klamas\u0131na g\u00f6re telefonun ard\u0131ndan b\u00fcy\u00fck bir arama \u00e7al\u0131\u015fmas\u0131 ba\u015flat\u0131ld\u0131. <\/p>\n

Telefon g\u00f6r\u00fc\u015fmesinden sonra bay\u0131lan Austin hastaneye kald\u0131r\u0131ld\u0131 ve orada babas\u0131n\u0131 arayarak h\u0131\u00e7k\u0131ra h\u0131\u00e7k\u0131ra a\u011flad\u0131. Joanne ve karde\u015flerinin hayatta olup olmad\u0131\u011f\u0131ndan hala emin de\u011fildi.<\/p>\n

Ard\u0131ndan, birka\u00e7 dakika sonra, bulunduklar\u0131na dair bir telefon ald\u0131. Doktorlar, polis memurlar\u0131, herkes sevin\u00e7ten havaya z\u0131pl\u0131yordu.<\/p>\n

Austin “Bu, asla unutamayaca\u011f\u0131m bir an oldu” diyor. <\/p>\n

Denizdeki Joanne ise k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck \u00e7ocuklar\u0131n\u0131 tutmakta zorlan\u0131yordu. Donuyorlard\u0131 ve hava kararm\u0131\u015ft\u0131. \u015eimdi Austin’in \u00f6ld\u00fc\u011f\u00fcnden korkuyordu.<\/p>\n

“Bizi kurtaracak hi\u00e7bir \u015fey g\u00f6remiyorduk” diyor. <\/p>\n

“Art\u0131k tamamen kendi ba\u015f\u0131m\u0131za kalm\u0131\u015ft\u0131k.”<\/p>\n

Joanne, yakla\u015fan tekneyi g\u00f6r\u00fcnce bile rahatlayamad\u0131. \u00c7ocuklar suya d\u00fc\u015fm\u00fc\u015ft\u00fc ve o da \u00e7aresizce onlara ula\u015fmaya \u00e7al\u0131\u015f\u0131yordu.<\/p>\n

“Tam bir kabustu” diyor.<\/p>\n

Karaya \u00e7\u0131kt\u0131ktan sonra, hafif yaralanmalar\u0131 hastanede tedavi edildi. <\/p>\n

Austin’i alan ayn\u0131 ambulans g\u00f6revlisi, anneye \u00e7ocu\u011funun sa\u011f oldu\u011funu m\u00fcjdeledi. <\/p>\n

Hatta Austin okuluna bile geri d\u00f6nd\u00fc. Fakat bacaklar\u0131 \u00e7ok a\u011fr\u0131d\u0131\u011f\u0131 i\u00e7in koltuk de\u011fnekleriyle.<\/p>\n

\u015eimdi, be\u015f g\u00fcnden az bir s\u00fcre sonra, Austin olanlar\u0131 anlamaya \u00e7al\u0131\u015f\u0131yor. \u0130nsanlar\u0131n ona s\u00fcrekli bunu yak\u0131\u015ft\u0131rmalar\u0131na kar\u015f\u0131n, kendini kesinlikle bir kahraman olarak g\u00f6rm\u00fcyor. <\/p>\n

“M\u00fckemmel ambulans ekibini” ve acil servislerin “ger\u00e7ekten h\u0131zl\u0131 m\u00fcdahalesini” \u00f6v\u00fcyor. <\/p>\n

Ancak di\u011ferleri Austin’den \u00f6vg\u00fc dolu s\u00f6zlerle bahsediyor. <\/p>\n

Naturaliste G\u00f6n\u00fcll\u00fc Deniz Kurtarma Grubu komutan\u0131 Paul Bresland, gencin \u00e7abalar\u0131n\u0131 “insan\u00fcst\u00fc” olarak nitelendirdi.<\/p>\n

Bu arada, polis yetkilisi James Bradley de “azmi ve cesaretiyle annesinin ve karde\u015flerinin hayat\u0131n\u0131 kurtaran Austin ne kadar \u00f6v\u00fclse az” diyor. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
