Fire Erupts Without Warning

Witnesses say the blaze started abruptly, with thick black smoke pouring into the sky within moments. Passengers described scenes of confusion and fear as alarms sounded and crew members rushed to contain the inferno.

“It happened in seconds — we were eating, and suddenly everything was filled with smoke,” recalled one survivor.

Initial reports suggest the fire may have originated in the engine room, though investigators have not yet confirmed the cause. The captain issued an immediate distress call, prompting a rapid response from neighboring ships and Indonesia’s maritime rescue teams.
