Philippine Airlines Flight 434 (PAL434, PR434) was a flight on December 11, 1994 from Cebu to Tokyo on a
Boeing 747-283B that was seriously damaged by a bomb planted by terrorist
Ramzi Yousef, killing one passenger and damaging vital control systems. The bombing was a part of the unsuccessful
Bojinka terrorist attacks. The Boeing 747 (tail number EI-BWF) was flying the second leg of a route from
Ninoy Aquino International Airport,
Pasay City in the
Philippines, to New Tokyo International Airport (now
Narita International Airport),
Narita, in Japan, with one stop at
Mactan–Cebu International Airport,
Cebu, in the Philippines. After the bomb detonated, 57-year-old veteran pilot Captain Eduardo "Ed" Reyes was able to land the aircraft, saving the aircraft and the remaining passengers and crew.
