Black Friday in Indonesia

A ferry carrying hundreds of passengers caught fire as it traveled about three miles from the port of Merak, West Java. The address of Maritime Services said at least 11 people were killed and another 427 survived. Two trains collided in the town of Banjar, killing five people. "We do not know why they were in the same way," said Bambang Ervan, a spokesman for the Ministry of Transport.

"We're still investigating." Ash from a volcano on the island of Java increased its activity, as dozens of flights were canceled. The authorities established a security perimeter of two kilometers when the volcano increased its activity, but rule out a large-scale eruption.
