Hunt for survivors as Indonesian tsunami death toll tops 280

Rescuers look for survivors along the coast in South Lampung on South Sumatra.

Indonesian rescuers raced to find survivors Monday after a volcano-triggered tsunami killed at least 281 people, with experts warning the devastated region could be slammed by more deadly waves.

Rescue teams used their bare hands, diggers and other heavy equipment to haul debris from the stricken area around the Sunda Strait, as thousands were evacuated to higher ground.
