Bali boat tragedy: Two foreigners dead, one crew member missing after boat capsizes at Sanur Beach
Two foreigners have died, and one person remains missing after a boat capsized off the coast of Bali. The boat, understood to be carrying 80 passengers, flipped at Sanur Beach after returning from Nusa Lembongan around 3pm on Tuesday. Denpasar Search and Rescue confirmed the victims were Chinese nationals, while the missing person is a 23-year-old Indonesian crew member. The boat was carrying 73 foreign nationals, two Indonesians, and five crew members, the rescue agency said in a statement. It remains unclear whether any Australians were on board. Dramatic footage shows several people being helped out of the water, including one woman being carried away. Huge waves are also seen crashing over the sunken vessel, just metres from the shore. Marine accidents are a regular occurrence in Indonesia. In March, a boat holding 16 people capsized off the coast of Bali, killing an Australian woman.

Two foreigners dead in another Bali boat tragedy
A crowded boat carrying mostly tourists has capsized off Bali, leaving two people dead and another missing. The vessel had 80 people on board when it went down off the popular holiday destination of Sanur at about 3pm local time (5pm AEST) on Tuesday, according to Denpasar Search and Rescue (SAR). SAR said the dead were Chinese citizens. The missing person was an Indonesian crew member. Every other person registered as being on the transport vessel was accounted for, according to the rescue teams. It was not immediately clear if Australians were among the 15 people injured. The boat, which had departed from the island of Nusa Penida, capsized so close to Sanur Harbour that rescuers were able to haul it onto the beach. Loading Photos released by SAR showed that it would have been crowded with 80 people on board. Seventy-three of the passengers were foreigners, it said. It is the fourth serious boat accident – three of them deadly – off Bali this year. Australian Anna Blight died when her snorkelling boat capsized off Nusa Penida in rough seas in March.
