With the finding, the number of dead bodies already found until Tuesday noon in the disaster had reached 99. Rescue workers were still searching for over 100 persons who had gone missing after the Situ Gintung sluice gate and embankment collapsed on Friday morning last week. The disaster has displaced a total of 368 people who were given temporary shelter in a number of places. The dam burst which followed heavy rains the previous day had obliterated the 255-meter long section of the dam, allowing water from its 20-hectare lake to rush out and inundate about 300 houses in its immediate proximity. The burst occurred at around 2 am local time last Friday, and the first volumes of the unleashed water swept away tens of houses at a time when many people were still sound asleep. The Situ Gintung dam complex covered a total area of 21 hectares and had a capacity to hold 2.1 million cubic meters of water. The dam was built as a water reservoir by the Dutch colonial administration back in 1930.

A Dam Situ Gintung Lake has broken-down

50 Killed In Dam Burst In Indonesia 
3/27/2009 3:51 AM  ET (RTTNews)
A dam in Lake Situ Gintung in Indonesia's Tangerang District, southwest of the capital Jakarta, burst in the early hours of Friday morning, causing a 10-foot high "mini tsunami" and killing scores of persons besides leaving hundreds of homes submerged, media reports say. The century-old 32-foot-high dam, which was built while Indonesia was still under Dutch colonial rule, was holding back around 70 million cubic feet of water of the Pesanggrahan river.

The wall of water tore through the crowded neighborhood in Cirendeu, an industrial area on the outskirts of south Jakarta, killing more than 50 persons, including four children. An official said most of the dead had drowned in the flash-flood, and the death toll was expected to rise as many persons were sleeping when the disaster occurred and were unable to escape.

Health Ministry Crisis Center chief said the dam completely destroyed some houses and inundated more than 400 others.

Friday, rescuers waded through chest-deep water and used rubber rafts to search for survivors who may be trapped in their houses. A dozen persons remained missing, while more than 20 persons were reported to have been treated at nearby hospitals.
