	Korean Air - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Korean Air began in 1962 as Korean Air Lines and was owned by the South Korean Government.
		In 1986 Korean Air became the first airline to use the new MD-11 to supplement its new fleet of Boeing 747-400s.
		Because a U.S. Air Force Boeing RC-135 intelligence plane was flying in the area east off Kamchatka, the Soviets may have assumed the 747 radar echo to be the RC-135.

	Washington University Law Quarterly: DOES A CLAIM EXIST FOR DECEDENTS' PRE-DEATH PAIN AND SUFFERING IN ACTIONS ARISING ...
		Korean Air Lines Co., the Sixth Circuit held that non-pecuniary losses for decedents' pre-death pain and suffering are not recoverable.
		Korean Air Lines Co., the Ninth Circuit agreed with the Sixth Circuit's view that DOHSA is preemptive; thus, the court refused to supplement DOHSA with survival actions under general maritime or state law.
		Korean Air Lines Co., 83 F.3d 127, 131-32 (6th Cir.) (the court precluded recovery damages for of loss of society, survivor's grief and pre-death pain and suffering on grounds that such are non-pecuniary losses and are therefore not recoverable under DOHSA); rev'd, 96 F.3d 151 (6th Cir.

		KAL moved to dismiss the complaint on the ground that its conduct was protected by Article VIII(1) of the Treaty of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation (FCN Treaty) of November 28, 1956, between the United States and the Republic of Korea, 8 U.S.T. No. 3947.
		KAL has recognized that such an interpretation is untenable, and it therefore has argued that Article VIII(1) affords it an absolute right of choice only when it selects a Korean national who holds a treaty trader visa.
		KAL argues (Pet 7-8) that the Court should grant certiorari to resolve a conflict between the Third Circuit's decision in this case and the decisions of the Second, Fifth and Sixth Circuits in Avigliano v.

	airodyssey.net - "Tailspin: Behind the Korean Airliner Tragedy"
		Docu-drama on the true story of Korean Air Lines flight 007, brought down by a Soviet missile over Sakhalin Island, claiming the lives of all 269 passengers and crew onboard, and the events leading to the international crisis.
		The plotline is judged "accurate" in terms of the general theory so far: that Korean Air Lines flight 007 was brought down by a Soviet air-to-air rocket in the vicinity of Sakhalin Island, with the loss of all aboard.
		Tailspin: Behind the Korean Airliner Tragedy, also known as Coded Hostile, is one of the gems in the field of true air disaster movies, because it is not exactly a movie, it is a docu-drama made for cable television.

	KAL Flight 007
		KAL 007 left Russian airspace over the Okhostk Sea and the fighters returned to their base.
		In any event, KAL 007 remained aloft for at least 12 minutes after the attack, which is near-conclusive evidence that the crew was at least partially in control of the aircraft.
		Evidence has now surfaced (some quite literally from the bottom of the sea) proving that KAL 007 had indeed ditched successfully off the shores of tiny Moneron Island, and that the passengers and crew were rescued to be held captive in the former Soviet Union.

	The New American - KAL 007: The Questions Remain Unanswered - September 10, 1991 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		That KAL 007 was not "destroyed" by the rocket attack on impact is continued by the fact that KAL 007 made a brief, but garbled, radio transmission after the attack.
		In The KAL 007 Massacre, for instance, author Franz Kadell asserts that what appeared "to be a part of the vertical section of the plane's tail" measured "32 by 28 inches." Whatever its measurements, it was virtually microscopic compared to the huge chunks of wreckage usually associated with an airline disaster.
		After all, KAL 007 was a gigantic machine standing 63 feet 5 inches high, measuring 231 feet 4 inches from nose to tail, with a wing span of 195 feet 8 inches, and weighing over half a million pounds before adding fuel, passengers, crew, cargo and baggage.

		In the case of Emery Air Freight, it is alleged that Respondent violated the Act by threatening to picket that company unless it honored the picket line at KAL's JFK facility.
		Also, assuming that AMR is the primary and that KAL is a secondary, the 2 days of picketing of KAL at Los Angeles would similarly be secondary activity because KAL is named on the picket signs and because AMR, the primary, is not at that location.
		Therefore, if picketing of KAL by the Respondent is legal conduct, the fact that the pickets ask truckdrivers employed by persons making deliveries to or from KAL to honor the picket line must be construed as conduct incidental to the Respondent's lawful activity.

		The crash of the Korean Air cargo flight came just one day after Delta had said that it "stood by" its codesharing arrangement with the Asian carrier.
		While Korean Air tried to minimize the damage of the report, saying that it was a "severe distortion," the airline did not dispute the authenticity of its writers.
		While the report cited several specific problems involving improper crew behavior or actions, the overriding message in the report was that the airline's crew problems seem to be rooted in a culture in which junior-level crew members are expected to defer to their seniors, even when the senior crew members make mistakes.
