A 22-year-old Indonesian man sent a selfie photo to his wife just before the doomed Lion Air plane took off over the weekend.

Deryl Fida Febrianto sent the photo at 6:01 a.m. shortly before flight JT-610, which had 189 passengers and crew on board, departed Jakarta and dropped 5,000 feet into the Java Sea near Indonesia.
