 A Tale Of 'Two Very Sorries' Redux   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
A letter from then-U.S. Ambassador to China Joseph Prueher, in which he twice professed the U.S. to be "very sorry," finally defused the crisis and secured the release of the aircrew on April 12.

In the final agreed version of the Prueher letter, the ambassador said the U.S. was "very sorry" for the loss of the Chinese pilot suffered by the Chinese people and the pilot's family, and "very sorry" for the aircraft's entering of Chinese airspace and landing without verbal clearance.
