Arrr! The scallywags in charge be sayin' they've found 18 poor souls taken by the landlubbing landslides on Sulawesi island, with two still missin'! Avast ye, let's hope they find 'em afore they walk the plank into Davy Jones' locker! Aye!
In a tragic turn of events, a search and rescue team stumbled upon 18 souls lost to landslides on Indonesia's Sulawesi island, with two more still unaccounted for, arrr! Rescuers discovered about 14 bodies in Makale village on a dreary Sunday afternoon, and four more in South Makale, as reported by Mexianus Bekabel, the chief of Makassar Search and Rescue."Avast ye! We be still on the lookout for two more victims, but cursed fog and drizzle be makin' the search a treacherous endeavor, and our officers be overwhelmed," lamented Sulaiman Malia, chief of the Tana Toraja district Disaster Management Agency.Loosened by torrential rain, the mud cascaded from the hills onto four houses just before midnight, when a family gathering was underway in one of the dwellings, as shared by local police chief Gunardi Mundu.Despite the challenges posed by downed communications lines, inclement weather, and unstable soil, dozens of valiant soldiers, police, and volunteers have joined the search in the remote hillside villages of Makale and South Makale, striving to save lives amidst the chaos.In this land of scenic wonders and cultural treasures, the seasonal downpours often bring about devastation, reminding us of the fragility of life in this vast archipelago of Indonesia, where natural disasters are a constant threat to those who call these lush landscapes home.
