Volcanoes, tsunami Indonesia killed 182 people

Nature's rampant tsunami and volcanic eruptions in Indonesia have killed at least 182 people and 400 missing since yesterday.

Rescue teams collected 28 bodies on the slopes of the Merapi volcano, after it erupted from yesterday. Among the dead there was a grandfather, who was a guardian of the mountain of spirituality.

The earthquake struck near Sumatra yesterday, killing 154 people. Currently rescue teams are trying to find and rescue about 400 people who are believed to be missing after the huge wave hit the villages on the island's west coast.

Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono must shorten his visit to Vietnam, to listen to reports and direct disaster recovery.
