Ferry Fire Kills Five in Indonesia | San Francisco News
Description
A ferry carrying over 200 passengers and 180 vehicles caught fire off Indonesia’s coast, killing five and leaving dozens missing as rescue teams scramble amid confusion over the actual passenger count. The blaze, reportedly sparked by a truck on the lower deck and fueled by wind, spread rapidly. Built in 1992 and routinely used for travel between Java and Sulawesi, the vessel highlights Indonesia’s heavy reliance on ferries — a system plagued by safety gaps and frequent accidents. Authorities are still investigating the cause.
