Air traffic controller jumps to death from collapsing ATC tower

The 7.7 magnitude earthquake that rocked Palu in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, destroyed Mutiara Sis Al Jufri (MSAJ) Airport’s four-story air traffic control tower, unearthed more than 1,500 feet of its 8,200-foot-long runway, and damaged its navigation systems. Meanwhile, damage to the passenger terminal resulted in the airport’s indefinite closure to commercial flights.
