Survivors of Indonesia Boat Sinking Rescued After Days at Sea The latest maritime disaster to hit Indonesia's eastern coast has left at least 73 people presumed dead after a passenger boat sank on July 15.
The tragedy is all too familiar for those who have followed the region's poor safety record and lax regulations.
The discrepancy between the vessel's manifest records, which listed only 50 passengers on board, raises questions about the accuracy of such documents in Indonesia.
