  Korean Air Flight 007 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Korean Air Lines flight KAL 007 was a commercial Boeing 747-200 (registration: HL7442) 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 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 Flight 902 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Korean Air flight 902 (KAL902, KE902) was the flight number of a civilian airliner shot down by Soviet fighters on April 20, 1978 near Murmansk, killing two passengers.
After several unsuccessful approaches, the Korean Air 707 landed on the frozen Korpijärvi Lake on the Finnish border, 250 miles south of Murmansk and 20 miles from the Finland border.
An almost identical act would be repeated five years later with the downing of Korean Air Flight 007.

 John F. Kennedy International Airport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
JFK is the top international air passenger gateway to the United States and is also the leading freight gateway to the country by value of shipments.
In 2000 Korean Air Cargo opened a new $102 million cargo terminal at JFK that became one the largest air freight facilities on the East Coast.
Korean Air Flight 85 (2001), bound for JFK on September 11, was escorted by fighter jets to Whitehorse International Airport during Operation Yellow Ribbon on fears it may have been hijacked.

 Baker, Garber, Duffy & Pederson, P.A. - Last Case Against Korean Air Questions if Flight Crashed in International ...
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.

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.

 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.

 Korean Air Flight 007 - Free net encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Korean Air Flight 007, also known as KAL 007 or KE007, was a Korean Air civilian airliner shot down by Soviet jet interceptors on September 1, 1983 just west of Sakhalin island.
KAL 007 flew westward and then arced south on a course for Seoul-Kimpo International Airport that took the craft much farther west than usual (245 degrees magnetic), cutting across the Soviet Kamchatka Peninsula and then over the Sea of Okhotsk towards Sakhalin, violating Soviet airspace over a significant distance.
This pattern was repeated several times, until Flight 007 flew inbound on a track very close to the RC-135's inbound leg at roughly the time the plane should have re-appeared on their radars.

 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.

 KAL 007 The Questions Remain Unanswered, by Robert W. Lee
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.

 Keppel and Brun on KAL 007
According to this "official truth," the Korean airliner, bound for Seoul from New York via Anchorage, went off course accidentally and unwittingly, alone overflew Soviet territory at the Kamchatka Peninsula and Sakhalin Island, alone was intercepted by Soviet fighters over Sakhalin Island, and alone was shot down and crashed into the sea to its west.
The cockpit voice recorder tape carries Tokyo, KAL 007 and KAL 015 radio transmissions which were intercepted by stations not aboard the Korean airliner or which, in at least one instance, were outright forgeries.

On September 1st, Korean Air Lines Flight 007 had departed from Anchorage, Alaska and strayed deep into Soviet territory over the Kamchatka Peninsula and its sensitive military facilities.
Then a bomb shell went off, but almost inaudibly—deadened, as it were, as terrorist bombs are deadened when they are exploded before their time in the remote-controlled, steel-jawed containers of a bomb squad.
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.
