Indonesia: 34 Drown in Ferry Boat Disaster
------------------------------------------

In Indonesia, at least 34 people died after a ferry began capsizing
Wednesday off the coast of South Sulawesi province. Witnesses say the
boat's captain intentionally ran the ship aground in an effort to save
lives after it began taking on water. The accident came just weeks after
an overcrowded ferry boat sank on a volcanic lake in Indonesia, killing
more than 200 people.
