Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Families of dead Indonesian sailors pay tribute” – below is their description.

Family members of the 53 Indonesian sailors who died when their submarine sank off the coast of Bali have been paying tribute to their loved ones.

Some families have held religious ceremonies to honour the victims, while hoping their bodies will be brought back to land.

The submarine sank to a depth of nearly 850 metres – and authorities say retrieving it will be difficult.
