JAKARTA - The families of Sriwijaya Air SJ-182 passengers are still arriving to provide data and DNA samples to the Antemortem Command Post to the Kramat Jati Police Hospital, Jakarta.
One of them is the family of Beben Sopian and Razanah, a married couple registered as passengers number 10 and 11 of the plane.
One of the representatives of the couple's family, Dadi Gunadi, told about the departure of a relative, while waiting for the couple's child to submit their antemortem data.
He admitted that the family had actually detained the two of them from returning to Pontianak, West Kalimantan.
Moreover, at this time, Razanah was undergoing chemotherapy in Bandung due to suffering from cancer.
"So my family, Mrs. Razanah, is having chemotherapy in Bandung and next week it will be the last chemo for cancer," Dadi told reporters at the Kramat Jati Police Hospital, East Jakarta, Wednesday, January 13.
It's just that, even though he's already detained, Razanah still insists on going home. "We have been resistant to not having to go home, it turns out that we want to go home, go home and finally it happens," he said.
Furthermore, when the couple returned home, initially none of the family realized that the two of them were boarding the Sriwijaya Air SJ-182 plane. The reason is, Razanah and Beben often use other airlines.
"At first, when the incident happened, we were ignorant because of the habit of the deceased using other airlines," he said.
However, both of them realized that they were passengers on the plane after receiving a call from the Sriwijaya Air Call Center and receiving a manifest with their names. Only after that, the family felt sure both of them were involved in the plane that crashed in the waters of the Thousand Islands.
With the incident that happened to his relative, Dadi admitted that he and his family could only surrender. They can only wait so that Razanah and Beben can be identified immediately.
In addition, he also hopes that the cause of this incident can be immediately identified. Moreover, the black box or black box containing the Flight Data Recorder (FDR) of this aircraft has been found.
"Hopefully the cause will be discovered quickly. We will take lessons from this incident," he said.
It is known, this identification process has also yielded results. Until the fourth day yesterday, four passengers had identified their identities and two of them were crews from Sriwijaya Air.
The two crews are Okky Bisma who is the flight attendent or steward of the unlucky plane and Fadly Satrianto who is an extra crew. While the other two were passengers, namely Khasanah and Asy Habul Yamin.
Previously, the Sriwijaya Air SJ-182 plane on the Jakarta-Pontianak route had lost contact in the Thousand Islands shortly after taking off from Soekarno Hatta Airport on Saturday, January 9, 2020. Furthermore, the authorities provided certainty if the plane crashed in the vicinity of Laki and Pulau Lancang, Thousand Islands.
In total, the plane carried 62 people including 12 crew members and 50 passengers consisting of 40 adult passengers, seven children and three babies.
