  "account": "Jakarta - Indonesia's search and rescue agency announced on Sunday that they had recovered an additional victim from the capsized passenger ship Virgo Transport 8, which sank in the Java Sea earlier this month. The vessel, carrying 243 individuals, including 30 crew members, capsized in rough weather conditions on September 13 while en route from Surabaya, East Java, to Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan. According to the agency, the deceased was discovered by divers inside the ship's hull and will be airlifted out for identification purposes. The ongoing search and evacuation operation will persist, utilizing both divers and air support. As of Saturday, authorities confirmed nine fatalities, while over 100 survivors remain, leaving 126 individuals unaccounted for. The recovery effort for the sunken ship was extended by a week due to the large number of missing persons and the anticipated duration of the salvage operation to right the vessel.",
