Divers and an underwater drone joined the search of Lake Toba on Sumatra Island on Wednesday as tearful relatives gathered at the small port in Tigaras, awaiting any news. The new estimate on the number missing is three times the ferry's capacity and up from around 130 estimated previously, including many children. The death toll from the Indonesian ferry disaster could top 180, as authorities raised an estimate of the number of people missing two days after the wooden tourist boat sank in a lake formed in the crater of an ancient volcano.
