The Tragedy at Tanjong Lesong Resort: A Survivor's Account of the Krakatoa Eruption

On the Evening of December 21, 2018

On the evening of December 21, 2018, Willy Siska, a Human Resources officer staying at Tanjong Lesong Resort with his family, experienced an ordinary night turned tragic. As he relaxed with his wife, Unita, and their two children, Aliya and Ali, he noticed a faint red glow above Anak Krakatoa, the volcanic island about 50 kilometers away. This eerie glow caught their attention, prompting a brief conversation. Willy explained that Anak Krakatoa was an active volcano, but they had no reason to suspect imminent danger that evening.
