Oh, no doubt at all that it was covered worldwide since the 13th when it broke. But this in-depth Japanese report that dug at any interesting angle, just appeared on TV only last night. I think they filmed it earlier in the day in Bangkok (Thailand?!) or maybe the 14th. The guys were still under interrogation. Thai police let them get pretty close. I bet the North Korean embassy in Bangkok (if they have one) is having an absolute FIT these days. As I said earlier, if these were North Korean pilots, they would have long ago swallowed the cyanide or would have shot each other in a round robin of execution style shootings, the last one offing himself. They do NOT want to be interrogated, for if they spill any beans, their families would suffer greatly in North Korean. It seems by and large the Ukranians and Khazaks flying the bird had a different arrangement.
Kind of like "Gene Hasenfus" saying "shucks, us never knowed what it wuz we wuz carrying." What an over the hill set of bush pilots, fat assess sitting their in Thai detention. This would be comical if it were not so serious.
