Indonesian ferry disappears in the Java Sea; at least one dead and 140 missing

oglobo13 September 2026 at 06:32

An Indonesian ferry disappeared in the Java Sea on Sunday morning, as reported by the local search and rescue agency. The information was confirmed to the Reuters news agency and the British television network BBC.

The incident resulted in at least one person dead and 140 passengers missing. According to authorities, another 102 passengers of the vessel managed to be evacuated in time and were rescued alive.

The causes of the ferry's disappearance are related to bad weather conditions in the region at the time of the accident. The vessel encountered rough weather while navigating the Java Sea.

The case is still being updated by Indonesian authorities, who continue with search and rescue operations in the region.

Why this matters

This sinking directly affects Indonesian and regional communities that depend on ferries for transportation, as well as family members of passengers awaiting news. The rescue operation still in progress may have developments in the coming hours, and serves as a warning about the risks of maritime travel in adverse weather conditions in Southeast Asia.

Rare snake surprises breeders by having two heads capable of controlling the body equally

A two-headed ball python was born at a breeding facility in Eugene, Oregon (USA), and surprised breeders by demonstrating that both brains can equally control the shared body — something rare, since in most cases of dicephaly one head tends to be dominant. Both heads can drink water, flick their tongues, and react to touch independently, with the body responding to each one. The breeder Justin Stewart, 36 years old, told Creatorzine that he doesn't know if the heads are aware of each other, but stated: "They don't seem to mind it."
