It was one of the world\u2019s worst stadium disasters.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities have put the latest death toll at 131.<\/p>\n<p>Though they stayed in the stands, Andi, holding his son in his arms, got separated from his wife and daughters. Sputtering and stumbling through the tear gas, they managed to get to medics for help.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey should never have fired (tear gas) into the stands because all the chaos was down on the field,\u201d the 36-year-old farmer said.    <\/p>\n<p>Soccer\u2019s world governing body FIFA bans the use of \u201ccrowd control gas\u201d at matches and an Indonesian police watchdog has said some officers wrongly used tear gas inside the stadium when there were no orders to do so.<\/p>\n<p>When the smoke cleared, Andi began searching for his wife and daughters, turning over victims who had been trampled or suffocated as they tried to flee through exits, some of which  turned out to be locked.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cI kept searching through all the dead bodies, then I found my daughters Natasya and Naila. I was struggling to find their mother,\u201d he said, adding that his 34-year-old wife was injured and succumbed later in hospital. Both daughters, 16 and 13 respectively, were adopted, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities have said 33 of the victims were children between 4 and 17.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will never watch (soccer matches) anymore. Now I can only think of my son and I have no time for anything else. Now what is important is how to get food tomorrow,\u201d Andi said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn my dreams, everything is normal, and (what happened) feels like a lie,\u201d he said. \u201cBut whenever I wake up, I realise they are no longer here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The government is handing out 50 million rupiah ($3,287) in compensation to the families of each of the victims and President Joko Widodo was expected to visit Malang later on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>($1 = 15,210.0000 rupiah)<\/p>\n<p> (Editing by Kanupriya Kapoor and Raju Gopalakrishnan)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sports\/fan-loses-wife-two\/attachment\/a-husband-who-lost-his-wife-and-two-daughters-in\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI9405Z-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI9405Z-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sports\/fan-loses-wife-two\/attachment\/a-husband-who-lost-his-wife-and-two-adopted-children\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI94062-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI94062-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sports\/fan-loses-wife-two\/attachment\/a-husband-who-lost-his-wife-and-two-adopted-children-2\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI94063-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI94063-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Yuddy Cahya Budiman MALANG, Indonesia (Reuters) -Andi Hariyanto says he will never watch a football match again after his wife, two teenage daughters and a cousin were crushed to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1673133","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1673133","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1673133"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1673133\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1673133"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1673133"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1673133"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
