BATURORO - The motorvessel Teratai Prima, which was on it's way from Parepare in Southern Sulawesi to Samarinda in East Kalimantan, has sunk in the waters of Baturoro, West Sulawesi. There were some 250 passengers and crew on board. Only 18 people have been rescued so far. There is no information about the faith of the other people yet.
Saharuddin, one of the survivors of the accident, said that the ship was pounded by high waves when it started making water. Just five minutes later the ship was already leaning about half a meter. It didn't take much time for the ship to sink. "I floated in the water for some three hours. I was still able to help three other passengers," said the father of four. His wife and children are among the people still missing.

It was bad weather indeed, but maybe other things were involved as well. Probably only a few will live to tell us.
