Flight from New York to Seoul. Killing 269 innocent people .

First they denied it
Then they blocked all search and rescue attempts
Then they admitted it 39 years ago today but blamed American provocation.

Very Trump like. Almost triggered WW3.

Wasn't until the fall of the Soviet Union that they released the flight recorder.

From the wiki

All 269 passengers and crew aboard were killed, including Larry McDonald, a United States representative

I am shocked that ww3 didn't happen after that. They murdered a sitting US member of government

We came close , same as the Cuban Missile Crisis

Both sides having Nukes is the only reason it never happened

Gennadiy Osipovich: I saw two rows of windows and knew this was a Boeing. . . I knew this was a civilian plane. But for me this meant nothing. It is easy to turn a civilian type of plane into one for military use.

He was the type of soldier that both East and West wanted, one that shut up and followed orders.
