JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - Rescuers scoured Indonesian waters after a ship carrying 60 people capsized in stormy weather, killing at least two children and leaving dozens missing, a port official said Thursday.
Twenty-nine people wearing life vests were plucked from the sea by a passing oil tanker, but officials were losing hope of finding more survivors, said Karim Tuanaya, acting head of the local Port Authority.
The KM Wahai Star was on a regular voyage from Buru island to Ambon, the capital of Maluku province, when its engine broke down after encountering 18-foot-high waves just before midnight Tuesday, he said.
