ATC

He was on duty as an air traffic controller (ATC) at Palu airport.

He died due to injuries he suffered.

After …ing

He jumped off an ATC tower when the 7.4 magnitude earthquake hit the area.

He worked for AirNav Indonesia.

He died in hospital on Saturday morning.

He was working on the fourth floor of the ATC tower.

He has just cleared the lane for the departure of Batik Air plane.

He was waiting for the plane to take off.

When the plane was about to take off, the tremor hit, but …

He remained in the tower.

After the plane took off, he jumped from the tower, because the roof had collapsed.

His legs, arms, and ribs were broken.

AirNav Indonesia had prepared a helicopter to take him to Balikpapan.

He would be taken to Balikpapan for further treatment.

But God had another plan.

He passed away 20 minutes before the helicopter arrived.

He dedicated himself to his job until the end of his life.

And he did not leave the control tower until the plane took off,

Even though the earthquake had struck.

The institution has sent its condolences after the tragedy.

Our deepest condolences.

May almighty god bless our family and other victims of the earthquake in Palu regency.

The tower was about to collapse – as a result of a 7.4 magnitude earthquake.

The earthquake rocked the province.

The airport also suffered damages to its navigation system – as well as 500 meters of its 2.500 m long runway.
