JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - Rescue workers scoured Indonesian waters after a ship carrying 59 people capsized in stormy weather, killing at least two children and leaving more than 20 missing, a port official said Thursday.
Crews from a passing oil tanker and fishing boat rescued 33 people in life vests after the KM Wahai Star was pounded by 13-foot waves Tuesday night, said Tumorang Hutasoit, the head of the Ambon Port Authority.
The life vests were handed out minutes before the ship capsized, witnesses said.
