Rescue teams in Indonesia keep recovering bodies from the wreck of a ferry that capsized in the Java Sea about two weeks ago. Multiple outlets report the death toll has increased, with figures ranging from 64 to 66 as the search continues, and tens of people remain unaccounted for.
The reports agree that dozens are still missing, but they differ slightly on the exact remaining numbers. The Winnipeg Free Press and The Independent cite 71 people remaining missing after recent recoveries, while Washington Times reports 69 still missing. ABC News similarly says dozens remain missing, without giving a single specific number in the provided text.
All accounts describe the event as an ongoing recovery operation rather than a completed search, indicating that casualty totals are still changing as teams recover additional bodies from the site. None of the excerpts provided specify the ferry’s name, passenger count, or the cause of the capsizing, focusing instead on the latest recovery and missing figures.
