There was said to be glass everywhere. A part of the facade of the Ritz Carlton was blown away by the blast and windows had been blown out.

One witness said the lobby of the neighboring Plaza Mutiara building was destroyed in the explosion. The unexploded bomb in room 1808 of the JW Marriott hotel was programmed to go off prior to the other bomb there, but its timer malfunctioned. The Indonesian police believe the bomb was intended to create an atmosphere of panic, causing guests to flee their rooms to exit the hotel, and generating a significant crowd in the lobby. Had this occurred as planned, the lobby bomb may have taken a much greater toll.Police Say Bombers Sought Higher Toll Patrick Barta Reuben Carder 27 July 2009 27 July 2009 The Wall Street Journal https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB124844739830779241 28 January 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20160128170705/http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB124844739830779241 live Casualties There were a total of nine fatalities: three Australians, one New Zealander, two Dutch tourists, and three Indonesians (including two suicide bombers).Police release portraits of suspected hotel bombers https://www.france24.com/en/20090722-portraits-suspected-hotel-bombers-jakarta-police-terrorists-indonesia 2009-07-22 2022-11-05 France 24 AFP en https://web.archive.org/web/20090725182551/http://www.france24.com/en/20090722-portraits-suspected-hotel-bombers-jakarta-police-terrorists-indonesia 2009-07-25 live The Australians killed were Austrade official Craig Senger, mining executive Garth McEvoy and Perth businessman Nathan Verity.2009-07-18 Indonesian police examine remains for clues The Sydney Morning Herald http://www.smh.com.au/national/security-reassessment-20090718-dorv.html live 2009-07-18 https://web.archive.org/web/20230317221525/https://www.smh.com.au/national/indonesian-police-examine-remains-for-clues-20090718-dorv.html 2023-03-17 New Zealander Tim Mackay died; he was president and director of PT Holcim Indonesia and a master mariner.StuffKiwi http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/asia/2603609/Kiwi-killed-in-Jakarta-blasts Stuff.co.nz 2009-07-17 2009-07-17 2009-07-20 https://web.archive.org/web/20090720195209/http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/asia/2603609/Kiwi-killed-in-Jakarta-blasts live The Indonesian man killed was Evert Mokodompis, a waiter at the JW Marriott Hotel.http://www.smh.com.au/world/hours-before-becoming-a-father-blast-that-destroyed-a-family-20090720-dqv4.html Hours before becoming a father: blast that destroyed a family Murdoch Lindsay 2009-07-21 smh.com.au 2009-07-21 2009-07-22 https://web.archive.org/web/20090722003033/http://www.smh.com.au/world/hours-before-becoming-a-father-blast-that-destroyed-a-family-20090720-dqv4.html live Sixteen foreigners were treated at Metropolitan Medical Center (MMC) hospital.2009-07-17 Inilah Nama 16 WNA Korban Bom Kompas http://megapolitan.kompas.com/read/xml/2009/07/17/11012018/Inilah.Nama.16.WNA.Korban.Bom live 2009-07-17 https://web.archive.org/web/20090721023436/http://megapolitan.kompas.com/read/xml/2009/07/17/11012018/Inilah.Nama.16.WNA.Korban.Bom 2009-07-21 A New Zealander, a Canadian, an Indian and 3 Dutch men were reported injured.Barrera Jorge 2009-07-18 Canadian badly burned in Indonesia bomb blast https://o.canada.com/news/Canadian+burned+Indonesia+hotel+bomb+blasts/1798323/story.html https://web.archive.org/web/20090718211951/http://www.canada.com/news/Canadian+burned+Indonesia+hotel+bomb+blasts/1798323/story.html 18 July 2009 2023-03-25 Canada.com 3 Dutch citizens injured https://web.archive.org/web/20090721000016/http://www.straitstimes.com/Breaking+News/SE+Asia/Story/STIStory_404411.html 2009-07-21 . The Straits Times. July 17, 2009 Investigation July 2017 Police believe planning for the bombings was led by Noordin Mohammad Top, who also involved in the 2005 Palu market bombing. The first meeting had been held on 30 April. Ibrohim, a florist who worked for a florist company which had stores in both the bombed hotels, was another key organiser. Ibrohim was recruited in 2000 by Saifudin Jaelani, his brother-in-law, while he was working as a florist at the Hotel Mulia in Jakarta. In 2005, Ibrohim and Jaelani were inaugurated as members of Noordin's special forces. Ibrohim set strategies, conducted surveys of the locations and smuggled the bombs into the hotels. Saifudin Jaelani is believed to have also recruited the suicide bombers for the operation. The bombs were smuggled into the JW Marriott one day before the blast through the hotel's loading dock using a pick-up truck rented by Ibrohim. The bomb design and materials of an unexploded bomb found by Police in room 1808 were identical to those used by Jemaah Islamiyah in previous attacks.Jakarta Hotel Bombers Linked to Jemaah Islamiyah, Police Say Berni Moestafa Bambang Djanuarto 19 July 2009 20 July 2009 Bloomberg News https://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aslTMQuj6g4U 17 March 2023 https://web.archive.org/web/20230317221526/https://www.bloomberg.com/politics?pid=20601087&sid=aslTMQuj6g4U live The suicide bomber of the JW Marriott Hotel was Dani Dwi Permana, an 18-year-old graduate of a private senior high school in Bogor, West Java. The suicide bomber of the Ritz-Carlton hotel was Nana Ikhwan Maulana, a 28-year-old former resident of Pandeglang, Banten. Dani rented room 1808 in the JW Marriott. The room was paid for by Amir Abdillah, who was arrested on 5 August. On 7 August, police raided a house in Temanggung, Central Java. Three people were arrested and one person was killed, later identified to be Ibrohim. On 8 August, police raided a house in Bekasi, West Java, killing two people believed to be preparing to attack the Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono with a truck bomb near his private residence in Bogor, West Java. Funding for the bombings is believed to have been provided from the Middle East. A number of suspects, including a Saudi Arabian national, have been arrested by Indonesian police for their involvement in handling the funds. Aftermath The bombings were deplored by numerous governments—in Indonesia, elsewhere in the region, and around the world.
