Rescuers Search for Landslide Survivors
From Times Wire Reports
Villagers and police searched for survivors from a series of devastating landslides and floods in eastern Indonesia that left at least eight people dead and 27 others missing.
Bernadus Guru, a senior official in Ende, capital of Flores island, said all those missing were feared dead.
Floods rushed down Meja Mountain on Monday as most residents slept. The water swept away houses, damaged bridges and cut off phone lines on the island, 1,030 miles east of the capital, Jakarta.
