Auckland police said the explosions were detonated "on the outside of the hull in the area of the engine room." New Zealand Prime Minister David Lange called the bombing a "major criminal act." Lange, who has banned port calls by nuclear-armed or -powered ships, said he would consider sending a New Zealand naval vessel to lead the Mururoa protest. The Rainbow Warrior was one of four ships used by Greenpeace, an international environmentalist group. "Our actions are all peaceful," said Bryn Jones, chairman of the organization's British branch.

...When I regained consciousness, I found myself lying in a warehouse, which was turned into a hospital, near the Ujina port. The Ujina port is at a good distance from the Miyuki Bridge. Soldiers had carried me to the warehouse. There I waited. I remembered my fear at the sight of the bodies in the river. I saw not a single fish. That river was always full of fish. The whole area between my school and the Miyuki Bridge had looked so different. That was where Hiroshima University had stood. A railroad operated in that neighborhood. A Red Cross hospital...
