Eleven students drowned and 10 others were rescued during a school outing for a river cleanup in Indonesia’s West Java Province, officials said Saturday.
"The weather was good and there was no flash flood," said Deden Ridwansyah, chief of the Bandung Search and Rescue Office. "Those children who drowned were holding each others’ hands. One of them slipped and the others followed," Ridwansyah said.
Nearby residents and a rescue team managed to save 10 of the students, who were sent to a nearby hospital.
