This Day Past Events #8.1

This day on September 1...................

1983-Korean Airlines Flight 007, flying from New York to Seoul, was shotdown by the Soviets after it strayed into restricted airspace overSakhalin Island in the Sea of Japan. All 269 people aboard were killed,including 61 Americans, among them U.S. Representative Larry McDonald
