Quake hero: Indonesian ATC official sacrifices self to help plane escape

Twenty-one-year-old Anthonius Gunawan Agung was giving clearance to Batik Air to take off when the quake hit Indonesia's Palu. He waited for the plane to be safely airborne before leaving the traffic control cabin tower. After the flight was safely in air the quake culminated in a 7.5 magnitude jolt and tsunami. At least 832 people are confirmed dead.
