Exhausted survivors disembarked at Tanjung Perak Port in Surabaya on Monday after a devastating fire engulfed the passenger ferry KMP Mutiara Sentosa II off Madura Island, leaving at least five people dead and an unconfirmed number of passengers missing. Authorities confirmed that while 229 people have been rescued, discrepancy between ship manifests and actual passenger counts has complicated search and rescue efforts led by Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas) across the Java Sea. Survivors recounted terrifying moments of leaping into rough ocean waves from the burning bridge as flames rapidly consumed the 160-meter vessel, which was carrying over 180 vehicles en route to Makassar. The Indonesian National Transportation Safety Committee has launched a formal investigation into the origin of the blaze. #indonesia #ferryfire #mutiarasentosa2 #surabaya #breakingnews #topnews #worldnews #usnews #maritimedisaster #basarnas #javasea #searchandrescue In this Times Now
