An Indonesian Sriwijaya Air plane crashed before (9th). All 50 passengers and 12 crew members on board were killed. However, before boarding the plane, a family of eight decided to abandon the plane and switch to a boat because of the high cost of screening for new coronary pneumonia, and accidentally escaped death.
The wrecked flight took off from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta, but it took only 4 minutes to take off, and suddenly dropped more than 3,000 meters in 60 seconds, then disappeared from the radar and lost contact with the tower. Afterwards, fishermen heard two explosions, which eventually confirmed the plane crash and all the people on board were killed.
An Indonesian man, Atma Budi Wirawan, said that his family originally wanted to board the dead flight. They had booked the ticket a week ago, but later discovered that they needed to attach a new coronavirus screening report to board the plane. Since the cost of testing requires 1.2 million rupiah per person and 9.6 million yuan (approximately NT$21,888) for 8 people, the price is too expensive. “After a long family debate, everyone decided to take a boat home. The fare is very cheap, only 220,000 yuan per person. (about NT$50)”
Atma went to the port yesterday (10th) and successfully received the family members who disembarked. She couldn’t help but post with emotion. Atma said that because he gave up the flight, the family of eight escaped death. He thanked Allah for this, but also expressed his deepest condolences to the victims.
