The sinking of the KRI Nanggala-402 submarine caused deep grief for all Indonesians, especially for the loved ones of all the 53 crew members onboard the vessel. In addition to other families, Ur Vienna, the younger sister of one of the crews involved in the incident, took to Twitter and expressed her sorrow. She posted a video where the crew can be seen singing a sad song weeks before the incident as though they already knew their fate.
“Meskipun ku tak siap untuk merindu, ku tak siap tanpa dirimu, ku harap terbaik untukmu,” were the lyrics of the song Sampai Jumpa, sung by KRI Nanggala-402, accompanied by a guitar from one of the ship crew members onboard.
Sailors on the Indonesian military submarine huddled around a man with a guitar as they sang a rendition of the popular song ‘Sampai Jumpa’ that translates as ‘until we meet again’ or ‘goodbye.’
