	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.

		Airway R20 (Romeo 20), the flight path that Korean Air Flight 007 was supposed to fly, which came within 17 miles of Soviet airspace at its closest point, was closed after the accident on September 2.
		The shoot down of Flight 007 was an incident which had ramifications on the Cold War later in 1983 when NATO conducted a simulation of the procedures up to nuclear release.

		In addition to the Korean Air Lines debris found along the northern coast of Hokkaido, Michel Brun located 25 pieces of debris from KAL 007 in seven different locations along the west coast of Honshu, the southernmost being Murakami.
		The crew of Flight 007 was so experienced (Captain Byung-in Chun was the back-up pilot for the president of the Republic of Korea) that it is virtually impossible for them to have been unaware of their off-course position.
		Flight 007 replied once with a simple transmission of “zero one five,” and once with a transmission in Korean that prompted the response from KAL 015: “Roger.” Minutes later, another Korean airplane, Flight 050, entered the Tokyo control zone and received ATC instructions to attempt to contact the ‘missing’ airplane.

	Alcabasa Alexander v. Korean Airln Co Ltd
		On September 1, 1983, Korean Air Lines ("KAL") flight 007, bound for Seoul, South Korea, from New York via Anchorage, strayed into Soviet airspace, was shot down by a Soviet military aircraft, and crashed into the Sea of Japan.
		To manage the proliferation of lawsuits that followed, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation consolidated suits against KAL from around the country and assigned the matter to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia for a trial on the common issue of the airline's liability.
		The parties agree that this wrongful death action arising out of an international air travel disaster is "governed by the terms of the Warsaw Convention, a multilateral treaty to which the United States has adhered since 1934." KAL I, 932 F.2d at 1484.

	What Happened to Flight 007?
		The fate of KAL 007 after the attack was settled by consensus, and the file on at least that aspect of the tragedy was closed.
		In The KAL 007 Massacre, for instance, 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 monster of a 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.

		Pitch is in line with the angle of descent.
		From his communication to Gerasimenko, it is clear that KAL 007 was shot down by the Soviets not because it posed a threat to them, but because it was escaping.
		Finally, IF (a big "if") the Soviets shot down KAL 007 in order to get Larry McDonald (as some believe), or if they discovered the prize they had unintentionally received was too precious to return, they could not release any of the passengers as this would force them to admit to their holding him.

	KAL Flight 007
		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.
		A precipitous initial descent (between 4,000 and 7,000 feet per minute, depending on weather conditions and the structural condition of the aircraft) is intended to quickly reach a level where there is adequate oxygen and a warmer temperature.
		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.

		He says Korean Air was not at fault and that plane's destruction was caused by "the overreaction of the Soviet military."

		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.
		The truth about KAL 007 has been obfuscated, to a significant degree, by the tendency of even well-intentioned conservatives and anti-communists to remain willfully blind to the implications of the abundant evidence that conflicts with the official line.
		If, as we firmly believe, KAL 007 did not crash, but instead landed on Sakhalin Island, where its crew and passengers were taken captive, new possibilities arise regarding why the plane was so far off course and why the Soviets shot it down.

		According to Hopkins, IandNS 11.4, Brun argues that it was not the Korean 747 that overflew the Soviet Union; rather, there were dozens of U.S. and Japanese military planes involved in overflights.
		He concludes that "the Korean airliner, until the last few minutes of its flight, was on a preplanned flight plan that was designed to take it into Soviet airspace." He follows that conclusion with the assumption of an intelligence-collection mission.
		Osipovich states that he knew he was dealing with a civilian plane, not an RC-135, but insists that the jet was on a spy mission and did not have civilian passengers aboard.

		The dulling and deadening container of the bomb shell’s blast was that investigators and the media soon realized that these articles had been published by a not-yet-free opinion-forming organ of the Communist regime, and was being used by the Soviets for disinformation purposes.
		The civilian divers knew that military divers had preceded them and understood, or were given to understand, that they (the civilian divers) were required because of their superior equipment.
