Indonesian Ferry Tragedy Triggers Massive Search as Dozens Feared Dead

A passenger ferry Virgo Transport 8 capsized in the Java Sea during rough seas en route from Surabaya to Banjarmasin, leaving at least six dead and 129 missing. More than 240 people were aboard (manifest lists 243). Rescue teams—17 ships and aircraft with about 655 personnel—rescued 108 survivors and recovered six bodies as the search continued. The cause is under investigation; survivors described overcrowding and a sudden list with little warning. Ferries are a common travel mode in Indonesia, but safety enforcement is often weak.

Georgetown Ferry Disaster: Dozens Feared Missing After Capsize Off Guyana Coast

A passenger ferry carrying 133 people (MV Barima) capsized about seven miles off Georgetown, Guyana, leaving 66 people still missing and 67 rescued (including 15 children) as search efforts expand. Rescue was hampered by darkness until vessels with scanners and divers joined the operation; the vessel, built in 1939 and en route to Port Kaituma, faced initial scrutiny over rescue logistics. Authorities say the captain and several crew tested positive for marijuana and are in police custody, and some survivors were not listed on the manifest. A government investigation has been launched to determine if negligence or wrongdoing occurred and to hold those responsible accountable, if found.

Johansson has since playfully referenced the ferry on podcasts and interviews, while Jost and Davidson have discussed potential uses for the 277-foot vessel (nicknamed Titanic 2) amid ongoing financial challenges. The couple, married since 2020 and parents to Cosmo, have kept the moment lighthearted as the venture pieces together.

GTA IV 2007 Beta Drops Hints of Cut Ferry and Zombie Minigame Assets

An early, work-in-progress GTA IV build dating to November 2007—allegedly found on an Xbox 360 development kit at a car boot sale near Edinburgh—includes a cut Liberty City ferry model and assets for a cancelled zombie minigame. Rockstar North’s Obbe Vermeij says ferries were cut late due to AI and collision issues, while zombie content remains unconfirmed; the build has been uploaded to the Internet Archive and is being explored by fans. The find stirs nostalgia and debate over unreleased content amid ongoing Take-Two legal action involving GTA 6 staff.
