 SEMARANG, Indonesia (AP) - Rescue boats scoured the sea on Sunday where an Indonesian ferry sank during a violent storm, picking up scores of exhausted survivors from choppy waters, but at least 400 more remained missing, officials and media reports said.
Almost two days after the ship went down in the Java Sea, helicopters dropped food and water to a group of around 30 survivors drifting in a life raft after heavy waves prevented rescuers from approaching them, Transport Minister Hatta Radjasa said.
"Pictures from the air showed they were all alive and waving for help," he said
