A huge inferno has erupted on a packed ferry as passengers jumped overboard to escape the blazing inferno.
Flames engulfed the KM Barcelona VA vessel, forcing dozens of the 280 on board to throw themselves into the ocean, off the coast of Indonesia.
Shocking footage shows passengers leaping into the water, many of them with bright orange life jackets on.
The blaze broke out around 1:30pm local time, 7:30 BST.
