Definitely appreciate how people look and talk those times
I was in the Military and Stationed in W. Germany. I was a NCOIC of a Commcenter, was working the Graveyard shift when the “Flash” Msg came across and Announced the “Downing” KAL 007. We were put on “Alert” The moment I received the Msg and had the “OIC” come down to the Center and read the Msg. I am old Now but I remember like it was yesterday.
~5:00 he said we need to get the information out fast but also said that the most important thing is to give our audience the best and most accurate information... idk
This was the second Korean Airlines plane shot down by the Russians. in April 1978 KAL 902 was shot down while violating Russian airspace. Two people died in that event as the plane was able to cash land on a frozen lake.
I never knew that wow
Great video.
The thumbnail looks like something from the movie _AIRPLANE!_
I remember when I was a teenager in late 80's, I bought a VHS movie called "Shootdown (1988)" Starring Angela Lansbury its about the Korean Airlines Flight 007 disaster.
Those who refer to themselves as "journalists" need to view this, take lessons from this operation, and create a "go/no-go protocol", then follow it. Of course, this is a pipe dream, and true journalism died with this era of reporters, anchors, general managers, and editors.
While not minoring in journalism, I did complete enough classes to allow me to 'stick my nose into the tent', should flying/engineering not work out for me. I still remember Professor Mancuso's "we, they, them us" lecture; "write the story, then scrub anything painting your view as non-objective". Like this ever happens now....
I was a KC-135(R) co-pilot at the time; our aircraft was repositioned to Kadena (Okinawa), then Clark (Philippines), then to Osan, for a month after things cooled down. I've seen a few clips over the decades, which covered the international incident, but never anything this substantial. Well done!!
So called journalists today cant even spell the word facts or research. Today the journalist opinion is worth more than researched facts ...
Journalists back then has the advantage of not needing to compete with real time news updates from the internet.
Today, everybody wants to be the first to break something. Accuracy be damned.
Fascinating stuff. Love studying Soviet and US history, Cold War in particular.
I was 15 (short infront of my 16 Birthday) and I couldn't believe that the Russian shoot down the 747. After many years later I saw a documentry about it. In this Doc they explain exsactly the Story behind it. Ist was a very sad times. Back then we thought that a third world war would break out. Good haven it was not happen.
I was 14 years old when this happened I remember watching it on tv with my parents
My uncle died on that plane. The more I look, the darker it gets.
Such pain never goes away, thanks for the courage of sharing. Political propagandists exploited the human tragedy for their own cynical agendas. I studied the disaster and think it was an innocent navigation error followed by incompetent trigger-happy Soviet over-reaction, which makes it worse.

Rip to your uncle. Sadly still many people who deny your uncle ever existed. Saying kal007 was an "american spy plane"
@@jimoberg3326 isn’t that what it was concluded to be in general? from the comms the pilot of the Su-15 seemed somewhat hesitant to shoot the plane down because it could have been a passenger plane, with his commanders being rather overzealous, which i understand to a degree. paranoia made absolute fools of both sides of the ideological divide during the cold war to an extent
Yesssss
Why does Russia get so much leniency for shooting down civilian flights?
im told a ufo shot it down
As a pilot, I most of all do not understand one of the most important facts that has not been disclosed. Okay, you can make a mistake in piloting, in programming the navigation system, you can lose contact, yes, anything can happen, but when a fighter intercepts you and does not react, it's just suicide. All laws, rules and actions during interception have been prescribed for a long time. How can you start trying to break away from intercepting a fighter ?? This is a direct violation of everything that is possible, including sound logic. Just imagine that an Iranian Boeing is flying tomorrow and entering Israeli airspace while trying to slow down during interception, does not respond to communication and pretends that everything is normal. From my point of view, Pilots are simply suicidal.
Let's not forget, there may be incompatibility between the Soviet military radio and the civilian radio used in the 747, which means that they never got the contact attempt from the Soviets.
Or it could be that the Soviets lied and never contacted the Korean before shooting it down, in contravention of normal protocols.
I think the Korean pilots never knew the fighters were following them until the missiles hit. For them, it was a normal flight, and they treated it as such.
i found it on the google it

Ur cute 😍
@@liamb8644 Aviation makes me cute my brother!
I was a kid when this happened. I remember we thought there was going to be a nuclear war! I think there almost was 😲
그럼 그렇지 러시아일 줄 알았다
Absolutely outstanding content, back before political bias in news. If this were today they'd be talking about how to blame the shoot down on Trump.
It was more subtle but pay attention to the way they talk about Reagan voters.
007? Lol
He was my Congressman and my birthday was the day after the story broke (9/2) - I knew the family, dated his nephew for years. No doubt this was an intentional assassination that took out 245 additinal passengers and 23 crew members as 'collateral damage'. The Deepstate did this - not USSR. The Deepstate Hydra/CIA - the hidden hand that controls military and governments worldwide. They did this without telling Central Office and forced leadership to own it. McDonald was not scheduled on this flight - he took at the last minute and changed flights to save taxpayers a few dollars on airfare. This was a deepstate 187.
My Goodness what a Bigotry.
how is this bigotry exactly?
@@verysillypuppets4614 judging from his comment from another video, he sees Americans talking trash to a failure of an ideology as bigotry
