Sad end to the year in SE Asia...

Sad to hear about the ferry tragedy and plane crash in Indonesia. Hope none of the SB-ers were on that flight to Manado.

Heard this morning the that and Indo military ship had found indication of metal in the water off the coast. A US ship with more hi tech gear is on the way to check it out. Very sad news. My heart goes out to the families.

ah just noticed the AP news about that.

On a positive note, they found 15 people who survived in the sea 9 days after the ferry sinking...
