Shootdown
Flight 007 and the American Connection
Johnson, R.W.
On September 1, 1983, a Korean Airlines passenger plane, Flight 007, was shot down over Soviet airspace. All of the 269 people on board were killed. There were, immediately, questions about U.S. Government culpability: Did our government send a civilian aircraft to test enemy defenses? Could it have done more to defuse the situation? What were our leaders hiding before and after the incident?
But 1983 was a glory year for the Reagan administration, and few people were willing to deal with such questions. Now, in the wake of the Iran-Contra scandal, it's time to face the frightening truth about KAL 007.
