Indonesia extended the search for eight people, including five journalists, after a speedboat disappeared in the Sunda Strait on a reporting run toward Anak Krakatau. [1] Malay Mail filed the extension. [1] Tempo filed the same search. [2] Sunday this paper printed Virgo Transport 8 in the Java Sea. Monday is a different boat, a different strait, and a different count. Print eight missing. Do not merge them.
Police awaited tests to identify a body found on Enggano Island. [1] A test is not an identified toll. A body is not eight. An extended search is not a rescue. It is also not a closed inquiry. Print eight. Print the search.
Five journalists in the eight make this a press-freedom story as well as a rescue story, though nothing in the file suggests a motive beyond weather and a volcano. Virgo's 140 remain Sunday's Java Sea count on a different page. Basarnas measures this search in square nautical miles; the paper measures it in eight names, still missing.
Monday's Sunda search is not Sunday's Virgo 140. Basarnas measures square nautical miles. The paper measures eight names.
The Java Sea ferry is another disaster on another page. Sunda's eight, five of them journalists, remain the only count this strait owns. Enggano's body still awaits a name, not a merged toll. The search continues without a rescue to file.
Five of the eight missing are journalists. Enggano's body still awaits a name. Virgo's 140 sit on another page.
