2004 SuperFerry 14 bombing
The 2004 ''SuperFerry 14'' bombing on February 27, 2004, was a terrorist attack that resulted in the sinking of the ferry ''SuperFerry 14'' and the deaths of 116 people in the Philippines' deadliest terrorist attack and the world's deadliest terrorist attack at sea. Six children less than five years old, and nine children between six and 16 years of age were among the dead or missing, including six students on a championship team sent by schools in northern Mindanao to compete in a journalism contest.〔''Human Rights Watch'' (''Superferry Bombing, February 27, 2004'' July 2007 )〕
==Bombing==
On the night of February 27, the 10,192-ton ferry sailed out of Manila for Cagayan de Oro City via Bacolod City and Iloilo City with 899 recorded passengers and crew aboard.〔 A television set containing a 3.6-kilogram (8-pound) TNT bomb had been placed on board in the lower, more crowded decks.〔〔
An hour after its 11 p.m. sailing, just off either El Fraile〔 or Corregidor Island〔 an explosion tore through the vessel, starting a fire that engulfed the ship and caused the confirmed deaths of 63 people while another 53 were recorded as missing and presumed dead.〔''Time'' (''The Return of Abu Sayyaf'' )〕 As the fire spread across the vessel most of the survivors jumped into the sea or boarded rescue boats and, by February 29, officials had accounted for 565 of the 744 recorded passengers and all but two of the 155 crew members.〔
In the days following the blast, the recovery of the dead and missing, calculated at around 180 on February 29, would be slow. Officials stated the missing may have been trapped inside the blazing ferry, have drowned in Manila Bay and that others may have been picked up by fishing boats.〔''USA Today'' (Terror group says it bombed Philippines ferry; 180 missing ) February 29, 2004〕 The recovery of bodies would take several months, with only four bodies recovered by Coast Guard divers from the half-submerged ferry in the first week alone, despite it having been towed to shallower waters near Mariveles town, west of Manila.〔''Sydney Morning Herald'' (Divers recover body parts from ferry disaster ) March 7, 2004〕〔〔''newsflash'' (3 DECOMPOSING BODIES FOUND IN SUPERFERRY 14 ) March 4, 2004〕 At least another 12 bodies, some displaying blast injuries, were recovered by divers in the days up until the 7th.〔 Eventually, 63 bodies would be recovered while another 53 would remain missing, presumed dead.〔
