Thanks, that's a nice story, but #30 and #33 seem to be more accurate as to how I remeber the incident being reported at the time.

I thought it was interesting reading a version of the account from a Russian FReeper. As to reporting, well, a Russian once said that the difference between Pravda and NBCCBSABCCNN etc was that Russians knew Pravda was B.S.

Good point. It was an interesting story and if true, gives a lot of credence to their claim that the KAL planes were more than simply lost. Think we'll ever know what really happened?

All this time I thought it was Kim Jong 11 papa that did this shooting down

Thanks for the info RI, very interesting from a different prospective.
