The most immediate major breaking story in the available reporting is the ferry disaster in Indonesia. Authorities intensified a search on Monday for 129 people missing after a ferry capsized in bad weather in the Java Sea, and at least six passengers were reported killed. The large number of people still unaccounted for and the ongoing rescue effort point to a fast-moving emergency with the potential for a much higher casualty count as more information emerges.
