Number of people saved from burning Indonesian ferry rises to 575, rescuers say

Indonesian first responders say the number of people saved from a passenger ferry that caught fire at sea has risen to 575, but three people died and two remain missing. The ferry was making a regular half-day journey Sunday between two ports in North Sulawesi province when the fire started about midday. Images showed terrified passengers, mostly wearing life jackets, jumping into the sea as flames and smoke billowed. Rescue crews pulled many people from the sea, and local fishermen also saved some survivors. Authorities previously said five people died, but revised it to three Monday after two passengers initially reported as dead were found in a hospital.
