Search underway after boat capsizes off Port Kembla near Wollongong
The search for a man missing in seas off Wollongong will resume on Monday after being called off due to fading light. Emergency crews launched the search off Port Kembla on Sunday afternoon after a boat capsized. Crews responded to a distress call at 1pm and Wollongong Police District officers discovered the overturned boat. Surf Life Saving NSW duty officer Anthony Turner said initial reports suggested a person was in the water after the vessel capsized near the breakwall. "A second male was in the vessel. He was able to scramble to shore where he was treated by paramedics," he said. "He alerted emergency services by calling triple-0 that there was an unfolding emergency with a capsized boat with someone in the water." The Police Marine Area Command, Surf Life Saving NSW, the Westpac Helicopter and Marine Rescue were involved in the search. Surf Life Saving NSW had three jet skis on the water and a number of duty officers on rock platforms scanning the area. Crews focused their search along the area off Port Kembla and Coniston. There was a hazardous surf warning for the Illawarra Coast this weekend with surf and swell conditions expected to be dangerous for rock fishing, boating and swimming. "Unfortunately, he has been unable to be located at this stage and the search has been called off due to fading light," Mr Turner said. "We are unsure what has eventuated for them to capsize. "The gentleman remains missing, and a full-scale search will resume tomorrow morning." Mr Turner said the search could be extended on Monday, with police looking at tidal, wind and other information. "It will then be decided how far the area will be for search patterns," he said. "Our thoughts are with the family involved. "It's always a difficult time. We are putting everything to searching for the person and will hopefully recover the person."

Search Continues for Indonesia Quarry Collapse Victims, Death Toll at 17
Indonesian authorities will continue searching on Sunday for eight people trapped in a rock collapse at a quarry in West Java, where the death toll has reached 17 with six injured, the search and rescue agency Basarnas said. The toll, as reported by the victims' families, is provisional, the agency said in a statement late on Saturday. The site of Friday's collapse in Cirebon is dangerous and "does not meet safety standards for workers," West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi posted on Instagram. The Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry said in a statement it would investigate the cause of the collapse and conduct an assessment to identify any potential further landslides. Cirebon Regency is prone to soil movement, especially when precipitation is above normal, while the area of the collapse has a cliff slope, the chief of the ministry's geological agency, Muhammad Wafid, said in the statement. Wafid said the undercutting method used in the open mining area and the steep slope may also have played a role in the collapse. "While carrying out evacuation and search efforts, (rescuers) must pay attention to the weather and steep slopes, and not carry out activities during and after heavy rain, because this area still has the potential for further landslides that could hit or bury officers," Wafid said.
