12 Found Alive after Indonesian Ferry Sinking
January 4, 2007
The Guardian reported that rescuers found a six-year-old boy and 11 other survivors clinging to an oil rig yesterday, days after an Indonesian ferry sank, leaving more than 400 dead or missing, navy officers said.
The survivors, described as weak after spending more than four days in the Java Sea, were picked up by the navy 120 miles from where the ferry sank in a storm, said navy spokesman Lt Col Tony Syaiful.
The 12, among them a woman, arrived at a port in Surabaya city and were rushed to hospital.
