Hundreds rescued from burning Indonesian ferry
460 people were rescued from the KMP Batumandi ferry after it burst into flames near Java Island, Indonesia, with all 420 passengers and 40 crew evacuated by 18 boats and emergency vessels. Several people were taken to hospital but remarkably no deaths were reported. This incident is the latest in a series of deadly ferry accidents in Indonesia, following a fire that killed five people two months ago and a capsizing in the Java Sea last month that left 80 dead and dozens missing.
