    what the description said, before and after

    In a dramatic rescue operation, crews saved 106 individuals from the Putri Yasmin ferry, which blazed in tumultuous waters. With a total of 131 people onboard, rescuers remained undeterred as they tirelessly worked to evacuate the remaining passengers and crew. The perilous conditions escalated the challenges faced by the authorities. Such ferry incidents are frequently reported in Indonesia due to lax safety regulations.

    A tragic incident unfolded when a ferry, the Putri Yasmin, traveling from Bali to Lombok, caught fire, resulting in one death and the rescue of 172 individuals. The rescue mission encountered significant difficulties, due to tumultuous seas with waves reaching four meters. At the time of the blaze, the ferry was transporting 44 vehicles and 53 motorcycles. Such accidents highlight Indonesia's ongoing issues with ferry safety enforcement.
