1 September On September 1, 1983, a Soviet fighter plane shot down an international Korean Airlines Flight 007 as it flew without authorization over the Soviet Union’s airspace. The passenger liner crashed into the sea near the island of Sakhalin, killing all 269 passengers and crew on board. The Boeing 747 was flying from New York to Seoul via Anchorage on its routine course, but as it approached its final destination, it began to change direction. In a short time the plane flew into Russian airspace, way off its normal course. As it crossed over Kamchatka, approaching one of the USSR’s most militarily sensitive regions, the liner was detected by the Soviet ground force.

This horrific incident at the height of the Cold War era brought the world to the edge o...
