Ku dhammaystir weedha soo socota:
waxaa ku fatahay 1953, sababtoo ah xaaladaha cimilada ee aan caadiga ahayn ee saameeyay inta badan Nederland iyo xeebta bari ee England. Biyaha sare ee Southend ayaa la filayay inay ka sarreeyaan celceliska heerka badda 1:30 subaxnimo Axadda 1 Febraayo. Hoos u dhac dhab ah ayaa ka sareeyay heerka badda ee celceliska, kaas oo ka sareeyay heerka halista ee qeybtan xeebta Essex. Heerkan laftiisu khatar kuma ahayn jasiiradda, maadaama derbiyada badda ay kor u qaadeen oo ay xoojiyeen intii u dhaxeysay 1951 iyo 1952 Xafiiska Dagaalka, waxayna ka sarreeyeen heerka badda ee celceliska. Si kastaba ha noqotee, biyaha sare waxaa weheliyey dabaylo xoog leh, oo abuuraya hirar waaweyn, kuwaas oo ka jabay dusha difaaca, iyagoo iska maydhaya bangiyada dhulka ee dhinaca gudaha ee darbiyada. Laba qaybood oo derbiga ah ayaa jabay, laga bilaabo Rugwood Head ilaa Asplin's Head ee dhinaca bari ee jasiiradda, iyo ilaa galbeedka Foulness Point ee dhinaca waqooyi ee jasiiradda. Saacadii 6-da subaxnimo, qeybtii ugu badneyd biyaha hoostooda ayay ku jireen, gaaska, korontada iyo khadka telefoonka ayaa go'ay. Dadaalkii badbaadinta ee Axaddii ayaa ku fashilmay in ay gaaraan Foulness.
