An air traffic controller in Indonesia has been called a hero after he helped a passenger plane avoid the recent earthquake—despite losing his own life in the process.

Anthonius Gunawan Agung, 21, held off jumping from a control tower that was collapsing in Palu airport so he could ensure the plane took off.
