“I was told to go home (by the hospital), but if there was anything, I was told to come here directly,” said Subur.

Subur admitted that initially he heard about a taxi incident that was hit by a KRL from the direction of Cikarang to Jakarta, while he was in the KRL from the direction of Jakarta to Cikarang.

The KRL he was riding was held for about 10 minutes with the door open. Shortly afterwards came the Argo Bromo train which was speeding until it hit the KRL.

Subur and Yunita bounced to the middle of the carriage. Luckily, Subur was still conscious, so he was able to take Yunita out of the carriage.

Subur said that after the Bekasi KRL accident, there was a puff of thick smoke. The situation became even more tense when there were panicked screams from the passengers who were victims.
