London (keydmedia.net) - Up to 30 asylum seekers are feared dead after heavy waves smashed their timber boat onto rocks on Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean, sinking the boat and throwing 70 to 80 people into stormy seas.
Television footage showed the boat rammed bow first onto the rocks, splintering and sinking, and its passengers, including women and children, thrown by waves against razor-sharp rocks.
