THE SS OURANG MEDAN

Two American ships were in the Strait of Malacca, the City of Baltimore and the Silver Star. Suddenly they get a radio message about an emergency or SOS claiming to be a Dutch cargo ship, named S.S. Ourang Medan's. From the operator of communication via radio morse on the SS Ourang Medan was reported about the death of the captain of the ship and all his crew, even the radio message was also received by several ships in the vicinity. Incidentally, the emergency morse was also captured by the Silver Star crew closest to its coordinates, and the end of the morse message by SS operator Ourang Medan said.

"I almost died..."" All officers include captain are dead lying in chart-room and bridge. Possibly whole crew dead. Idie".

Finally, the Silver Star ship that felt closest to the location immediately switched direction and tried to find coordinates in order to provide assistance. After Silver Star's ship had found the first coordinates of the SS Ourang Medan, they tried to get closer to the ship, and the Silver Star crew began to look at it from a distance.

After being next to the ship, the crew began shouting at the Ourang Medan ship that had been floating uncontrollably in the midst of the waves that hit it. After a long time the Silver Star crew tried to make contact through radio and the sound of shouting even the horn of the ship, but none of the crew of the SS Ourang Medan responded, then the Silver Star crew finally formed a small team for the rescue effort. They then went down to the lifeboat and approached the Ourang Medan ship which looked quiet and floating uncontrollably.

Before long, the Silver Star crew reached the deck of Ourang Medan. After they managed to climb onto the deck of the ship, it turned out that the ship was already full of the bodies of the crew who were all dead stiff, like cold with eyes open like dead of fear, what a creep! Even including the corpse of a dog is also seen dead with the same circumstances, such as cold and stiff with bulging eyes!

After failing to find any surviving crew members of Ourang Medan, the rescue team decided to pull the Ourang Medan to the port. Then they began to tie it to a large mine in the halauan of the SS Ourang Medan, then connected to the stern of the Silver Star ship through the crew of other ships in the Silver Star, for the ghost ship to be towed to the nearest port.

Eventually all the rescue teams managed to tie the SS Ourang Medan to the Silver Star ship and would start sailing back while making a withdrawal to the port. But there was a strange thing again, not only did they start the cruise, suddenly visible smoke began to roll from the hull of the SS Ourang Medan. In just an instant, the flames suddenly grew immeasurably and clearly visible flames were coming from the cargo section of Ourang Medan ship. Rescuers could do nothing, they ran away from the ship, which was very fast burning and barely had time to cut the towing mine. Some of the rescuers even jumped directly into the sea to save themselves.

After all the rescue team managed to get back into the lifeboat and the rope connected to the SS Ourang Medan was also successfully decided, the Silver Star rescue crew and captain were both trying quickly to get away from the burning SS Ourang Medan. All of that is done to prevent unwanted things, because it is already a procedure in the shipping world to always maintain a safe distance against ships that are burning. Fortunately for all the Silver Star crew, because it suddenly sounded a very loud bang, boom!!! followed by a huge fireball. SS Ourang Medan has exploded violently! It exploded right before the eyes of dozens of Silver Star ship crew! Shortly thereafter, the mysterious and terrifying unmanned ghost ship sank, engulfed by the sea in the Strait of Malacca between the islands of Sumatra and the Malaysian peninsula.

All the crew and team from the Silver Star ship survived, both those on the Silver Star ship and those on the lifeboats, they were all astonished in disbelief, so quickly the fire destroyed the ship and it ended in a very violent explosion, and the ghost ship was shipwrecked before their eyes. They cannot speak for a moment, they can only speak with their mouths open, no one speaks, they feel lucky to still have time to run and some of them even plunge into the sea and row a lifeboat away from the ghost ship. No further investigation has been conducted as a result of this incident.
