Homes washed away as flash flood hits Jakarta - 27 Mar 09

At least 50 people have been killed in a flash flood on the outskirts of the Indonesian capital Jakarta.

After days of heavy rain, a dam breached early on Friday morning, sending a powerful wave sweeping through a residential area as people slept. Officials say the death toll is likely to rise.
