  "account": "Indonesia's search and rescue agency confirmed on Sunday the recovery of an additional victim from the capsized passenger ship, Virgo Transport 8, in the Java Sea last weekend. The vessel, carrying 243 individuals, including 30 crew members, capsized due to adverse weather conditions early on September 13 while en route from Surabaya in East Java to Banjarmasin in South Kalimantan. The deceased was identified through divers during an internal search of the ship's hull, and will be airlifted for proper identification.\n\nThe ongoing search and evacuation operation will continue employing divers and air support. As of Saturday, authorities have officially confirmed nine fatalities, with over 100 survivors, leaving 126 individuals still unaccounted for. The recovery efforts for the submerged ship were extended by an additional week due to the high number of missing persons and the anticipated duration of the salvage operation to right the vessel, according to authorities.",
