Model Figures for Families

KOMPAS/I GUSTI AGUNG BAGUS ANGGA PUTRA

A number of families of Sriwijaya Air passengers with flight number SJ-182 were escorted by police officers out of the waiting room at Terminal 2D Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Tangerang, Banten, Sunday (10/1/2021). They arrived from Pontianak, West Kalimantan.

In the eyes of their families, they were exemplary people. Some were known for having deep affection for their parents, their helpful nature and for encouraging others to lead virtuous lives.

Even as those closest to them continued to maintain hope, the reports about their fate grew increasingly worrying. By Sunday evening (10/1/2021), no certainty had been established about the safety of the 62 people aboard Sriwijaya Air flight SJ-182 after it plunged into the waters off Jakarta’s Thousand Islands regency.
