568 people survived after an Indonesian passenger ferry caught fire at sea

Description:

More than 560 people were rescued and three confirmed dead after the KM Barcelona 5 passenger ferry caught fire off Indonesia’s Sulawesi coast on Sunday. The ferry was en route from the Talaud Islands to Manado when flames broke out in the stern. Rescuers, coast guard ships, and local fishermen helped evacuate passengers, many of whom jumped into the sea. Initial reports of five deaths were revised to three, including a pregnant woman, after two survivors were found alive, the Associated Press has reported. The ferry was carrying more people than listed on its manifest, a common issue in Indonesia, where ferry accidents are frequent due to poor safety enforcement. read more: 👍 Like this video to shed light on the ferry disaster off Sulawesi and the urgent need for stronger maritime safety enforcement in Indonesia. 💬 Comment below—how can ferry safety be improved to prevent future tragedies? 🔗 Share this video to help raise awareness about the risks passengers face in underregulated transport systems. 💰 Want to support the channel?
