Apart from that, a motorbike, goods and mattress materials, and a milling machine were also victims.

The area of Nagan Kidul, Patehan, Kraton, Jogja City was rocked by a tragedy at the Beteng Keraton revitalization project, which claimed lives and injured a worker. Now, the police have revealed the tragic chronology of work accidents that occurred on this project.
According to the Head of Public Relations of the Jogja Police, AKP Sujarwo, the accident started with building contractors, Marlam and Teguh Soko, who intended to buy a dismantled house belonging to Sudaryanto. Both of them are buyers of used house demolitions who are looking to make a profit from the used wood or frames.
“On May 1 2024, Marlam and Teguh went to Sudaryanto’s house to buy the dismantled house for IDR 2,500,000,” said Sujarwo. After an agreement on the price was reached, the two of them summoned builders, including the two victims, to carry out the demolition.
The next day, the group of victims began carrying out the demolition according to Marlam and Teguh’s orders. Unfortunately, when the two victims were on the ground floor, the top of the building suddenly collapsed, hitting them. “It is suspected that because he did not pay attention to the strength of the top floor cast, it collapsed onto the two victims, causing one to be injured and one to die at the scene,” explained Sujarwo.
Police conducted a crime scene investigation to collect further evidence and information. As a result of this accident, Sencaki Mahendra Wijayanto from Magelang suffered injuries to the sole of his left foot, while Maryono, a resident of Sleman, died. Both were taken to Bhayangkara Hospital for further treatment.
Head of Jogja City BPBD, Nurhidayat, explained that the incident occurred at 08.55 WIB when the two victims were working to dismantle the building. The construction suddenly collapses and falls on them. “This was a work accident, a construction worker. One of them died and the other was injured. Both were taken to Bhayangkara Hospital,” he added.
This tragedy is in the spotlight in the midst of the Beteng Keraton revitalization project, highlighting the importance of work safety and security at construction sites. The public also demands that relevant parties ensure strict safety standards to prevent similar accidents in the future.

Balikpapan, 7 May 2024 – The Balikpapan Class I Harbormaster and Port Authority (KSOP) Office carried out a dramatic rescue operation after the Mitra Bahari IX motor ship experienced a leak and sank in the waters of Tanjung Puting, West Kotawaringin, Central Kalimantan. Head of KSOP Class I Balikpapan, Capt Barto Ari Raharjo, directly led the evacuation of 16 crew and crew members (ABK) on Tuesday morning.
The evacuation was carried out after the crew and crew were previously rescued by the MBS Bratan ship which was passing through the waters. According to the Head of Sailing Safety and Patrol, Fourmansyah, the two victims were in good health when they were rescued by the MBS Bratan Ship.
The Mitra Bahari IX ship experienced blackout when the captain tried to ground the ship in these waters before it leaked and sank. “The Captain of the MBS Bratan Ship, Capt Jaka Sutama, responded to an emergency call from KM Mitra Bahari IX and succeeded in saving the entire crew and crew,” explained Fourmansyah.
In his ship loaded with sand and sailing towards Tana Kuning, Bulungan, North Kalimantan, Capt Jaka Sutama received an emergency call early Sunday morning. The MBS Bratan ship succeeded in lowering the lifeboats and saving all the victims amidst the condition of the KM Mitra Bahari IX which was tilting due to a leak.
The Mitra Bahari IX ship, which was carrying 1,950 tons of fertilizer and was sailing from Gresik, East Java to Kumai Harbor, West Kotawaringin Regency, Central Kalimantan, experienced an accident before arriving at its destination last Sunday. The ship owner, Sukiman, confirmed that all crew and crew members would be returned to their respective hometowns from Balikpapan.
“The ship’s captain will go to Kumai to handle the ship accident report,” added Sukiman.
This evacuation and rescue shows solid cooperation between KSOP, the MBS Bratan Ship, and various related agencies in handling emergency situations in the waters. All parties involved in this evacuation were appreciated for their dedication and hard work in saving human lives.

“Well, when we got to the Slumprit incline, the rear axle of the truck broke and couldn’t climb uphill,” he added.
As a result, the truck overturned and the load of river rocks scattered around the corner. However, the driver suffered minor injuries.
“The driver suffered a head wound and the latest information was that he wanted to get stitches,” he explained.
As a result of this incident, traffic flow on Jalan Jogja-Wonosari was hampered. Officers are currently still evacuating the truck.
