History
On This Day:September 1,1983 - Korean Airlines Flight 007, flying from New York to Seoul, was shot down by the Soviets after it strayed into restricted airspace over Sakhalin Island in the Sea of Japan. All 269 people aboard were killed, including 61 Americans, among them U.S. Representative Larry McDonald.Source: Reference.com
I remember this very well. Over the past month I have been afraid that our government was going to do the same thing. Not for straying into restricted airspace but because a passenger is out of control or is acting strange. On two different occasions fighter jets have been scrambled for these reasons. I ask you what are the fighter jets going to do with an out or control passenger?
