JAKARTA - The horror of the videos and photos circulating regarding the tragedy at the Kanjuruhan Malang Stadium is nothing compared to the findings of the Independent Joint Team for Fact Findings. The head of the Mahfud MD team clearly explained how scary the situation was in the stadium.
"The process of falling victims is far more terrible than those circulating on television and social media," said Mahfud MD at the Presidential Office, Friday, October 14.
TGIPF reconstructed all events from 32 CCTVs that recorded real-time events at that time.
Mahfud MD recounted that the CCTV was recorded when someone hand in hand tried to save himself from leaving the stadium. Arema FC supporters scattered out due to excessive tear gas from the police.
One of those who held hands was left inside the stadium. The other finally tried to come back to save.
"Those who are outside again to help their friends, were trampled to death," said Mahfud.
There is another tragic story. When someone tries to help people breathe because of difficulties.
"It's spray too, it's dead, it's there too," he continued.
"It's more terrible than what's circulating," he said.
