His friends who were recording the spectacular sight, caught on camera the terrifying moment when the wave swallows the unfortunate 20-year-old
Indonesian authorities are looking for a 20-year-old tourist who was swept into the ocean by a huge wave that crashed on him on the coast.
Roni Josua Simanjuntak was on a rocky shore of Kedung Tumpang Beach in Java on Sunday, and decided to take a photo with the huge waves behind him.
At that moment a wave crashed over the rock he was standing on, knocking him down and then “sucking” him back into the ocean.

Other friends of his, who were recording the spectacular sight, caught on camera the terrifying moment when the wave swallows the unfortunate 20-year-old. Indeed, in the video they can be heard laughing when Ronnie falls, but the laughter stops abruptly when they realize that the 20-year-old is nowhere to be seen.
