Six people died and 140 remained missing after Virgo Transport 8 sank in the Java Sea. [1] Antara filed Basarnas at six dead and 140 missing. [1] India Today filed the same Sunday search. [2] A missing count is not a closed inquiry. Print 140 missing. Do not invent a cause. Leave Monday's 129 to Monday.

Saturday this paper printed the June Aster toll at 76. Sunday is a different boat. Ninety-seven rescued in some Sunday copy is not a closed passenger list. Do not merge Palawan and the Java Sea. Print 140. Print not a closed toll.

Print 140 missing. Sunday is not a closed ferry inquiry. Six dead is still six. Print 140 as Sunday's named Virgo hold. A Surabaya-Banjarmasin run is still not June Aster. Print six as still the named dead. Print 140 as still not a cause. Print missing as still the only honest Sunday word.
