Hearts all over the world broke over the tragedy involving the Indonesian Navy KRI Nanggala-402 submarine, which made headlines over the past few days.
The submarine, carried up to 53 people, went missing during a live-fire exercise earlier on Wednesday (21st April) in waters north of the Bali island in Indonesia. According to local authorities, the vessel was equipped with emergency oxygen enough for 72 hours.
One of the victims involved in the unfortunate incident was Colonel Harry Setiawan, the commander of the submarine. In speaking to the press about the news, his wife Winny Widayanti expressed, “I need to be strong because I’m the wife of the commander. If Harry’s job is to take care of his crews, my job as a wife is to calm down their wives and families.”
TNI Commander Hadi Tjahjanto told Kompas that they’ve also found fragments and items believed to be components of the submarine and also belongings of the demised victims. This include the torpedo adjuster containers, cooling pipes, orange bottles as well as prayer mats.
The sinking of KRI Nanggala-402 is a tragedy that one wants to avoid, especially in the current difficult situation surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, it’s been reported that all the victims of navy submarine have died at a depth of 838 meters. As reported by Suara, the reporters who visited her home broke down into tears after hearing Winny’s devastating story.
According to her, she realised that the chances to see her husband to come back were very slim. Yet, she assured everyone that she needs to be strong together with family members of the victims. It’s understood that she had also visited some members of the stricken KRI Nanggala-402 in East Java. Similar with her, they are also waiting for the latest updates on the incident.
The news portal also revealed that Winny never stopped sending text messages to Harry via WhatsApp, although the messages hasn’t been answered until now. At the same time, she stated that she already knew that the situation is thin, but in such a critical moment, she only hoped that her significant other would keep his spirit up.
