18 Nisan 1906’da, Amerikan tarihinin en \u00f6l\u00fcmc\u00fcl depremi saat 05:12’de San Francisco’yu vurdu. Deprem, \u00fc\u00e7 g\u00fcn boyunca s\u00fcren ve 28.000’den fazla binay\u0131 k\u00fcl ederek tahminen 3.000 ki\u015finin \u00f6l\u00fcm\u00fcne neden olan b\u00fcy\u00fck bir yang\u0131n\u0131 tetikledi.<\/p>\n\n
Kaosun ortas\u0131nda, bir grup cesur adam San Francisco Darphanesi’ni savundu ve bug\u00fcn\u00fcn de\u011feriyle 6 milyar dolar\u0131 a\u015fan 300 milyon dolarl\u0131k alt\u0131n ve g\u00fcm\u00fc\u015f\u00fc korudu. Bu kahramanl\u0131k hareketi, ABD ekonomisini \u00e7\u00f6kmekten kurtarm\u0131\u015f olabilir.<\/p>\n\n
Yang\u0131n Darphane’ye yakla\u015f\u0131rken, itfaiyecilik deneyimi olmayan, siyasi bir atamayla g\u00f6reve gelen Frank Leach \u00f6nderli\u011findeki k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck bir \u00e7al\u0131\u015fan ekibi alevlere kar\u015f\u0131 koydu. Pencereleri kapatt\u0131lar, yak\u0131ndaki yang\u0131nlar\u0131 avludaki bir kuyudan ald\u0131klar\u0131 suyla s\u00f6nd\u00fcrd\u00fcler ve i\u00e7erideki yang\u0131n hortumlar\u0131n\u0131 kullanarak alevleri bast\u0131rd\u0131lar.<\/p>\n\n
Ya\u011fmac\u0131lar\u0131 endi\u015feyle kar\u015f\u0131layan Tu\u011fgeneral Frederick Funston, Darphane’nin savunmas\u0131na yard\u0131m etmesi i\u00e7in on askerden olu\u015fan bir birli\u011fi g\u00f6revlendirdi. G\u00fcn vardiyas\u0131ndaki \u00e7al\u0131\u015fanlarla birlikte Darphane’nin savunucular\u0131n\u0131n say\u0131s\u0131 yakla\u015f\u0131k 60’a ula\u015ft\u0131. \u00c7at\u0131daki molozlar\u0131 temizleyerek ate\u015f almas\u0131n\u0131 \u00f6nlediler ve yang\u0131n\u0131 kontrol alt\u0131na almak i\u00e7in sava\u015ft\u0131lar.<\/p>\n\n
Yang\u0131n \u015fiddetlenirken Leach, adamlar\u0131 mangalara b\u00f6ld\u00fc ve Darphane’nin her yerine yerle\u015ftirdi. Su hortumlar\u0131 ve kovalarla sava\u015ft\u0131lar, yang\u0131n duvarlar\u0131 a\u015farken pencerelerdeki camlar\u0131 erittiler. Yanan k\u00fcl ya\u011fmuruna ra\u011fmen savunmac\u0131lar y\u0131lmad\u0131 ve yang\u0131n\u0131n Darphane’nin hazinesini yok etmesini engelledi.<\/p>\n\n
\u00d6\u011fleden sonra yang\u0131n Darphane’yi geride b\u0131rakm\u0131\u015ft\u0131 ancak \u00e7at\u0131 h\u00e2l\u00e2 yan\u0131yordu. Adamlar onu su ve bak\u0131r sacla s\u00f6nd\u00fcrd\u00fcler. Duman da\u011f\u0131ld\u0131\u011f\u0131nda Leach, Darphane’nin dikkat \u00e7ekici bir \u015fekilde sa\u011flam oldu\u011funu g\u00f6rd\u00fc. “Sava\u015f kazan\u0131ld\u0131” diye yazd\u0131 daha sonra. “Darphane kurtar\u0131ld\u0131.”<\/p>\n\n
Frank Leach ve adamlar\u0131 kahraman ilan edildi. Leach, Washington D.C.’deki darphanenin ba\u015f\u0131na getirildi ve adamlar\u0131 ona sad\u0131k kald\u0131. Onlar\u0131n cesareti ve dayan\u0131kl\u0131l\u0131\u011f\u0131, \u015fehrin deprem ve yang\u0131ndan sonra toparlanma ruhunu temsil ediyordu.<\/p>\n\n
Depremden onlarca y\u0131l sonra, Eski Darphane bir Ulusal Tarihi D\u00f6n\u00fcm Noktas\u0131 oldu ve bir sikke m\u00fczesi olarak hizmet verdi. 2003 y\u0131l\u0131nda San Francisco \u015fehri binay\u0131 sat\u0131n ald\u0131 ve \u015fehrin dayan\u0131kl\u0131l\u0131\u011f\u0131na ve Darphane’yi savunanlar\u0131n kahramanl\u0131\u011f\u0131na bir \u00f6vg\u00fc niteli\u011finde olan San Francisco Tarih M\u00fczesi’ne d\u00f6n\u00fc\u015ft\u00fcrmeyi planl\u0131yor.<\/p>\n\n
Her y\u0131l, depremden kurtulanlar\u0131n azalan say\u0131s\u0131, olay\u0131 ve kendi dayan\u0131kl\u0131l\u0131klar\u0131n\u0131 anmak i\u00e7in bir araya geliyor. Felaketin hat\u0131ralar\u0131n\u0131 ve hayatlar\u0131 \u00fczerindeki derin etkisini payla\u015f\u0131yorlar. Hikayeleri bize zorluklar kar\u015f\u0131s\u0131nda insan ruhunun g\u00fcc\u00fcn\u00fc ve cesaretini hat\u0131rlat\u0131yor.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
