What a horrible way to die. Sorry Haruki Ikegami. RIP.

What happened to the flight?

Nowadays, the flight no longer originates in Manila, and is strictly a Cebu-Tokyo flight.

The flight still exists between Manila-Tokyo daily with an additional route of Cebu-Tokyo

These seem to contradict. Anybody know the answer? Kd5mdk 13:43, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I know - those are now two separate flights. WhisperToMe 16:39, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] My father was on that flight

I doubt anyone will ever see this post but I just so happened to come across this article while doing some research for class. He was sitting about 10 seats behind the man whose seat the bomb was under so he was uninjured. I was living in Cebu at that time and I heard that the bomb was a test for a bomb to be placed by the Abu Sayyaf on the plane that the Pope was going to be taking in the next few weeks or so. That was the news that we heard in the Philippines. I thought it was interesting that it wasn't mentioned here.

It is mentioned; see the link to "Operation Bojinka" in the "Aftermath" section.

[edit] Fuel tank

Was there any evidence Ramzi Yousef targeted the fuel tank? It seems likely but if there's evidence he did we should mention it Nil Einne 10:43, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Superman!

His body was ripped in half by the explosion...and he died several minutes later? Sherurcij ^{(Because you can't fight terror by spreading fear)} 01:34, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

• I'm not sure exactly how that happened, but I get both pieces of data from different sources. The lower part of the body (which was hit) has the guts - As long as the heart and/brain is not hit, death could come more slowly. WhisperToMe (talk) 03:45, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
