Here, he worked fast. Incipient panics got short shrift: "No tsunami seen in Banggai. Please don't spread hoaxes." Fake images were denounced. ("This eruption is in South America. Ignore and don't spread.") Talk of "portents" was firmly shot down. ("The mountain peak is clouded with altocumulus lenticularis...due to a whirlwind at the top...No connection with mysticism or politicsahead of the election.")
在這里，他工作得很迅速。剛開始的恐慌沒有得到足夠的重視：“邦蓋沒有發生海嘯。請不要散布謠言?！奔僬掌蛔l責了。（“火山爆發發生在南美。忽略這個，不要散播?！保╆P于災難預兆的言論被堅定地擊破了。(“山頂布滿了莢狀高積云...這是由于頂部刮起了一陣旋風...它與神秘主義或選舉的政治領袖無關?！?/p>
As a result, he helped Indonesians feel safer. Jokowi, the president, publicly praised him, which was almost as good a moment as when he at last met the singer Raisa, on whom he had such a crush that he included her Twitter handle in more than 90 of his disaster tweets. He claimed his only motive was to get them retweeted to her 8m followers. Of course! With all this whirling round him, he was also cheerfully facing disaster of another sort. In 2018 he was diagnosed with Stage 4 lungcancer, though he had never smoked. He could not have foreseen it; Nature was unpredictable. Science helped him understand it, but could not cure it.
結果就是，蘇托波幫助讓印尼人感到更安全了。佐科威總統公開表揚了他，這幾乎是和他最后見到歌手瑞莎一樣美好的時刻。他對歌手瑞莎非常著迷，他在超過90個災難推特中都提到了瑞莎的推特用戶名。蘇托波聲稱他唯一的目的就是讓瑞莎的800萬粉絲轉發自己的推特。當然了！隨著這一切在他周圍盤旋，他也愉快地面對著另一種災難。2018年，蘇托波被診斷出肺癌4期，盡管他從未吸煙。他不可能預見到這一點；大自然是不可預測的。 科學幫助他明白了這一點，但是卻不能治愈他。
Allah had planned it, just as He had planned that others should die in earthquakes and tsunamis. Many Indonesians, he had discovered, found it more comforting to think that way. So, after the first cruel shock, did he. His tweets of destroyed places now included mriscans of his lungs. Among the 350 people he had not been able to save from Merapi was the guardian of the mountain. Slowly, his house had filled up with grey ash. Before the rest of the villagers made their way down to safety, he simply told them his time had come to go.
這是真主安排的，就像他會安排其他人會死于地震和海嘯一樣。蘇托波發現，許多印尼人覺得這樣想更令人寬慰。在第一次殘酷的打擊之后，他也這樣做了。他在推特上發布的被毀地點現在包括他肺部的核磁共振成像。在他未能從默拉皮火山中救出的350人中，有這座山的守護者。慢慢地，他的家里充滿了灰色的火山灰。在其他村民趕往安全地帶之前，蘇托波僅僅告訴他們，他的時間到了。
