	DEATH FLIGHT OF LARRY MCDONALD - Professor Wilkes - University of Georgia School of Law
		The airliner, Korean Air Lines Flight 007, on its way to Seoul, South Korea, had twice entered Soviet airspace and was downed as it was about to leave Soviet airspace for the second time.
		Although many of the specific facts surrounding the shootdown of KAL 007 are unknown or disputed to this day, the violent death of the rabidly anti-Communist McDonald at the hands of the Soviet Union's Air Force appears to be a breathtaking example of the inscrutable workings of human fate and human destiny.
		Thus, it may be definitely concluded that nothing in the known cockpit conversation indicates that KAL 007 was on a spy mission, that the aircraft took any evasive actions prior to the attack, or that it was even aware of the mortal danger facing it.

	Korean Air Flight 007 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Korean Air Lines flight KAL 007 was a commercial Boeing 747-200 (registration: HL-7442) flying from New York City to Seoul, South Korea.
		As KAL 007 overflew Soviet territory, the Soviets scrambled Su-15 'Flagon' and MiG-23 'Flogger-B' fighters to intercept it.
		One notable passenger of Flight 007 was Larry McDonald, president of the extreme right-wing John Birch Society, Democratic congressman for Atlanta and founder of the Western Goals Foundation which was intended to combat the threat from Communism.

		Korean Air Lines Inc., was filed in federal court in the Eastern District of New York on Sept. 6, 1983, five days after the flight came down.
		He contended that KAL Flight 007 was attacked while flying over Soviet land or, alternatively, that the plane crashed in Soviet territorial waters and, based on either of these grounds, DOHSA did not govern.
		KAL attorney Harakas countered that Ephraimson-Abt had waived the argument that Flight 007 did not crash on the high seas by admitting to the contrary in the pretrial order, but that even without such a waiver, the argument was wrong on the facts.

		HL7442, the 747 flown as KAL Flight 007.
		Flight 015’s cooperation in forwarding the supposed coordinates of Flight 007 is an indication that the crew of Flight 015 was aware of Flight 007’s intentional deviation from its assigned route.
		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.

	Larry McDonald - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During his terms in Congress, McDonald founded the Western Goals Foundation which was intended to combat the threat from Communism and he was sued for malpractice for using Laetrile to treat a patient's cancer.
		On September 1, 1983, he died when Korean Air Flight KAL-007 was shot down by Soviet fighters, apparently becoming the only congressman ever killed by the Soviets during the Cold War.
		This theory was largely discredited when the flight recorders that the Soviets had recovered were released to the public after the Soviet Union fell.

	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.

	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.
		The main concern at the moment is that flight 007, from Anchorage to Seoul, had a number of congressmen and senators, including Larry P. McDonald, and that the ultra-nationalists will believe he and the other politicians were the target of a deliberate Soviet hostile action.

		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.
		Tension between the superpowers had been high before Flight 007 was shot down, President Reagan's rhetoric afterward, and world reaction, led some in the USSR to believe that Able Archer 83 was a genuine nuclear first strike.

		At one time or another, the Soviets or Russians have reported that after ten minutes KAL 007 was thousands of feet in the air and crashing into the sea, that it went down in and out of Soviet territory, and that it was discovered largely intact and blown to pieces in early and late October.

		All of which was consistent with a flight simulation conducted by commercial airline pilot Joe Ferguson in 1985 for an article in Conservative Digest, which concluded that the disabled jet was not out of control and could have been landed at sea or on nearby land.
		The recently released file, called “Korean Airline Flight 007,” can be downloaded on the Internet at www.fbi.gov. It spans a three-year period from 1983 to 1986 and falls well-short of solving many of the mysteries surrounding the flight.
		In that earlier incident, the Korean airliner was forced to land under gunfire on a frozen lake, killing two passengers, while the rest of those aboard survived after the pilot repeatedly transmitted, “Mayday, Mayday,” throughout Europe.

		On Flight 007, for example, the computers, made by Litton Industries at $100,000 apiece, were told that the plane should be at its fifth way point, Neeva, above the Aleutian Islands at 172° 11 min.
		The copilot, who on Korean Air Lines flights is usually responsible for entering navigational data, might have done so after Neeva.

		Neither the cockpit voice recorder, nor the flight data recorder, was mounted on "the rear bulkhead." The CVR was obviously mounted in the cockpit, and the FDR was mounted in the rudder.
		The flight flew directly over the top-secret area, ignored all warnings, was hit by a shell, but nonetheless continued to fly over the area for another 300 miles before landing.

		KAL 007 first came to my attention on the morning after the disaster in a two-line item in the local newspaper on Nantucket Island, where my wife and I had been spending a couple of days with friends.
		As to the continued importance of the KAL 007 case: the lives of ordinary airline passengers were put at risk without their knowledge or consent.
		In turning the truth of its own blunder in the KAL 007 operation into an aggressive fiction tailored to its purposes, the administration committed itself (and, sad to say, its successors) to years of lying to the very people from whom in a democracy, it derives its powers.

	Message from the US Director
		Among several interesting facts from these memos is an acknowledgement, contrary to public statements, that the Soviet interceptors made no attempt to contact KAL 007 on the international emergency radio frequency nor did they fire tracers or warning shots.
		Now, after all these years, on the Twentieth Anniversary of the shooting down of KAL 007, the Russians have finally admitted that they had deliberately sought to deceive the international community as to the location of KAL 007 and that they had known all along where the plane was.
		Taken together, this is strong evidence for the survival of those aboard Korean Air Lines Flight 007 shot down on the early morning of September 1, 1983.
