This footage was filmed and produced 2 October 2022.

131 people were killed and around 320 injured at a football match in Indonesia on October 1 in one of the world’s worst ever sports stadium disasters. The accident occurred after a match in which the Javanese Arena club was defeated by their rivals Persebaya Surabaya at Kanjuruhan Stadium.

Translation:
Habib, 29 years old, one of the Aremania supporters and a living witness to the incident at the
Kanjuruhan stadium. Trading job/self-employed.

00:00:25 – 00:03:24
I happened to be in the stadium on the VIP bench
00:03:25 – 00:09:30
After that after the incident I was outside the stadium
00:09:33 - 00:14:00
And before that time there was still no riot
00:14:10 – 00:19:10
Actually Aremania is not anarchist, we don't have the slightest sense of anarchy
00:19:15 – 00:25:40
Even though we just want to ask the management why Arema can lose, that's all.
00:27:00 – 00:32:45
We enter, we convey our aspirations. That's all, we have no envy.
None at all
00:32:45 – 00:38:15
Because we (supporters) have grown up, and "greeting one soul" (the motto of Aremania)
00:38:20 – 00:50:00
What we are sad about,
when I was in the parking lot, how come there was a sudden burst of tear gas?
Even though it's outside the stadium
00:52:30 – 00:57:00
So the tear gas got outside the stadium, that's where it happened (pointing)
00:58:20 – 01:03:00
It happened between 11.00-11.30 at night, there were 2 explosions
01:03:26 – 01:13:00
Incidentally we couldn't go out, because there was a lot of smoke outside.
And the smoke is carried by the wind, we run there, the smoke goes there too
01:15:00 – 01:18:00
It happened off the road, lots of tear gas
01:21:30 – 01:24:00
It's very painful to touch the eye
01:24:40 - 01:30:00
And the throat feels very thirsty, and it hurts very much
01:30:00 – 01:35:15
Even though that effect is from a very far radius, what else is hit up close?!
01:36:15 – 01:37:20
Imagine how it feels?!
01:38:15 – 01:39:40
What did we do wrong?!
01:45:30 – 01:53:15
Incidentally at that time we were not inside the stadium, so we represented those outside the stadium
And also statements from colleagues in the video
01:53:17 - 01:57:00
but as for what happened inside the stadium we don't know what to do anymore
01:57:07 – 01:59:20
Because as we see
01:59:25 – 02:06:20
Like an ant that is put in a hole and then smoked?
Many people and children died
02:06:34 – 02:11:24
how does it feel that our disappointment to management is not conveyed.
02:11:39 – 02:15:00
We don't blame everyone, we also feel wrong
02:16:36 – 02:20:00
and actually we Aremania don't blame anyone
02:20:35 - 02:25:34 (question )
what kind of panic did you see when people came out of the stadium?
02:25:35 – 02:33:26
Lots of people screaming, people crying.
Until we see 1 woman under the car, she can't breathe.
02:33:25 – 02:42:30
Imagine?! and I saw it myself.
Imagine he can't breathe, and there's no help at all
02:43:31 – 02:50:00
Until I said, "Ma'am, come on, let's breathe slowly"
I don't know if he finally died or not
02:50:00 – 02:51:43
hope for related parties, especially officials and supporters?
02:51:57 - 03:04:37
If I may ask for an expression of condolences and an apology from the National Police Chief
and other parties who have done apologize openly
03:05:20 – 03:13:30
and I advise, Aremania still greetings one soul.
We Aremania also share our condolences, don't let anything like this happen again
03:12:40 – 03:21:40
We and the doll are nothing
I want dolls and all Indonesian supporters to be at peace
03:22:00 – 03:32:20
Please if you want to come here, let's represent.
We are big hearted, we are in one soul, we are in one country, Indonesia.
03:32:40 – 03:50:25
We Aremania still apologize profusely to the national team and other teams
Because we've done something wrong, we keep admitting that we were wrong.
03:50:20 – 04:01:00
Sorry PSSI, sorry Mr President.
We have exceeded the limits of human reasonableness, because we are disappointed.
