One dead and dozens missing in Indonesia boat accident

At least one person has died and dozens are missing after a ferry carrying 80 people capsized Monday in Indonesia, an official from the national disaster agency said. "Eighteen passengers have been rescued, one is dead," said agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho.
Authorities have deployed rescue vessels to the scene but bad weather has halted the operation for the night. "The evacuation has been halted due to bad weather. The visibility is only 30 metres," local police chief Marudui Liberti Pandjaitan told local TV station TV One.
