Indonesian ferry sinks after fire, adds to missing people.
An Indonesian ferry gutted by a deadly fire this week has sunk unexpectedly off the coast of Jakarta with investigation teams still on board.

The Levina I ferry caught fire while on its way from Jakarta to Bangka island on Thursday morning, with hundreds of people on board.

The ferry had been towed to a location some seven nautical miles north of Jakarta's Tanjung Priok harbour when it sank.

A reporter on board the ferry has told the ElShinta radio one television cameraman and two members of the police forensic laboratory team are still missing after the gutted ferry suddenly leaned to the right and rapidly sank with 16 people on board.
