A heartbreaking video has gone viral online, depicting a toddler begging his father not to leave home to go on the ill-fated Indonesian military submarine that sank, killing all 53 sailors on board.
In the footage, two-year-old Aska can be seen trying to block his father, First Lieutenant Muhammed Imam Adi, 29, from leaving his room by pushing him back inside and wailing.
Adi is seen laughing as he pleads with his son by saying Papa needs to pee before kneeling down to his level while the little boy yells no, no, no.
