This sounds like a basic tinfoil hat conspiracy theory, but there are some disturbing facts concerning the conflicting newswire accounts.

Because it's impossible to know what really happened, it's hard to draw any useful conclusions or lessons. I'm guessing this is a waste of time to explore.

[wagglebee]

I pretty much agree.

SEOUL, South Korea (UPI) – A Korean Air Lines jumbo jet flying from New York to Seoul Wednesday with 269 people aboard, including a U.S. Congressman, was forced to land on Sakhalin, a Soviet-occupied island north of Japan, the government-run television said.

This guy is believing soviet TV?

This sounds like a basic tinfoil hat conspiracy theory, but there are some disturbing facts concerning the conflicting newswire accounts.


What is so disturbing about that? On 9-11 ABC Radio news was reporting that a plane was sitting on the tarmac in Cleveland surrounded by police with terrorists on board. When Reagan was shot several new reports broadcast Brady was dead. During events like these news often gets misreported or garbled as various news groups rush to be "first" with the story. This conflicting newswire accounts happen all the time. What people need to keep in mind that is a whole industry that makes hundreds of millions of dollars annually selling these kinds of stories to the Deranged Left and the Paranoid Right. I am really disappointed in World Net Daily. I thought they were better then this.

i'm tired of conspiracies that go no where.

...including Congressman Larry McDonald.

Who just happened to be one of the most outspoken anti-Communist members of Congress. See my profile page.

Probably.

I can see that the expression "forced down over Sakhalin" might suggest to some that the plane was forced to land but the words are also consistent with "shot out of the sky". The optimists among us might assume one thing and the pessimists another.

[inquest]

Many of them are going to "go no where", at least for a while, because that's the nature of conspiracies. If one person could just point to an obvious fact that would unravel them, then the conspirators didn't do a very good job of conspiring. It takes a little patience to get at the truth sometimes, with only one little piece of the puzzle uncovered at a time. This is definitely not a task for someone seeking instant gratification.

[Seeking the truth]

10 or more U.S. aircraft were shot down.

huh...huh...sure!

[ken21]

instant gratification has nothing to do with my complaint.

[SkyDancer]

The American ambassador to the UN played the interception by Soviet pilots and then the order for the shoot-down.

Only the USSR/Russia could have been so paranoid.

[COEXERJ145]

I guess all that debris and bodies the Japanese and South Koreans pulled from the ocean was just dumped there for the TV cameras.

More WorldNutDaily tin foil hat BS.

[Cicero]

This doesn't pass the smell test. I'm willing to credit plenty of conspiracy theories that the MSM has covered up, such as TWA 800, OKC, Vince Foster, Ron Brown, POW-MIAs, etc., etc. But there wasn't a hint of any of this in any of the stories I have read about the incident, and Ronald Reagan was no bill clinton or Jimmy Carter. He would not have hesitated to confront the Soviet Union if he knew they were secretly holding the plane's passengers prisoner.

[wagglebee]

That was my first thought, Reagan would NEVER have just let something like this go.

[JudgemAll]

I smell a scripted conflict here...

[ken5050]

Allow me a brief recollection.....you maky find it of interest. The day after, ( Sunday) the KAL plane was shot down, my wife was flying to Minneapolis for a 4 day business trip..so I took her to the airport. She was flying Northwest, out of JFK...and KAL at that time rented gates in the NW terminal at Kennedy. Her plane left from the gate next to where the KAL 007 had debarked the night before..very surreal experience...

[SevenMinusOne]

This is complete BS - No truth to it whatsoever (at least in terms of what it is trying to suggest) - Suggesting 10 U.S. Aircraft were downed is beyond ridiculous, as is the notion Ronald Reagan would have sat by and allowed U.S prisoners to be taken -

Though there is a great segment of the population that just loves conspiracy stories -

[The Brush]

10 jets were shot down and wreckage was never found...
Well if the wreckage was never found, how do we know there weren't 200 of our jets shots down? Sounds to me like a massive coverup. Where IS the wreckage of 500 of our warplanes?
