Ferry Sinks........

Rescuers saved more than 240 people aboard a crowded Indonesian passenger ferry that sank Sunday in rough waters off Sumatra island, but 29 people have died and at least 17 others were missing. The ship sank about 30 minutes after huge waves damaged its bow and water started seeping in, according to a report from the ship's captain. High waves made the rescue operation difficult. At its peak, there were at least nine ships and several fishing boats searching the choppy sea.

Survivors are evacuated after the 147-tonne Dumai Express went down in heavy rain and huge swells off Karimun island.
