Chandra said that a sea of smoke in the stands caused panic among spectators. He said that little kids were crying and women were collapsing.
The number of people trying to escape from the stand made it difficult for him to get out.
They went back to the top of the stands. The smoke was kept away by using a scarf. He went down through the side door after jumping into the field.
According to the mother, her daughter Debora had a broken neck and swelling on the brain during the panic.
I told her not to watch the game. Ms Andayanengtyas said that she didn't come home in the morning. She wasn't in the ER. We were told to go to the mortuary. My daughter didn't have an identification.
Parents were crying out "where is my child" among the chaos, and one witness said he saw parents collapsing while shielding their children.
He said that a mother and a boy fainted next to each other. The mother and the boy were taken out of the stadium by some supporters. Maybe because of the tear gas, they were unconscious.
A few Arema fans went on the pitch to remonstrate with the home team players but were stopped by police and beaten.
The supporter said that more spectators took to the pitch.

The officers under investigation were responsible for holding the weapons and were being questioned by an internal affairs team.
The police chief has lost his job.
The field security team, as well as some officials from the Indonesian football league, are under investigation.
Indonesia's human rights commission said it will conduct its own inquiry into the disaster, and the president ordered that all matches in Indonesia's top league be stopped until the official probe has been completed.
