Indonesian Ferry Sinks, 29 dead, 240 rescued

At least twenty nine people died but more than 240 were rescued after a ferry sank in heavy seas off Indonesia’s Sumatra island on Sunday, Indonesian transportation officials said.

Nearby fishermen scooped victims out of the water after witnesses said massive waves damaged and then sank the Dumai Express 10. Search efforts for more survivors have been suspended until daybreak on Monday.
