Korean Airlines Flight 007 : ウィキペディア英語版
Korean Air Lines Flight 007

Korean Air Lines Flight 007 (also known as KAL007 and KE007)〔KAL 007 was used by air traffic control, while the public flight booking system used KE 007〕 was a scheduled Korean Air Lines flight from New York City to Seoul via Anchorage. On September 1, 1983, the airliner serving the flight was shot down by an Interceptor aircraft of the Soviet Union, a Sukhoi Su-15, near Moneron Island west of Sakhalin in the Sea of Japan. The interceptor's pilot was Major Gennadi Osipovich. All 269 passengers and crew aboard were killed, including Larry McDonald, a Representative from Georgia in the United States House of Representatives. The aircraft was en route from Anchorage, Alaska to Seoul when it flew through Soviet prohibited airspace around the time of a U.S. reconnaissance mission.
The Soviet Union initially denied knowledge of the incident,〔Young & Launer, pp. xiii,47〕 but later admitted the shootdown, claiming that the aircraft was on a spy mission.〔 The Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union said it was a deliberate provocation by the United States〔Pearson, p. 145〕 to test the Soviet Union's military preparedness, or even to provoke a war. The White House accused the Soviet Union of obstructing search and rescue operations.〔Congressional Record, September 20, 1983, pp. S12462-S12464〕 The Soviet Armed Forces suppressed evidence sought by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) investigation, such as the flight data recorders,〔Soviet news magazine, Izvestia #228, October 16, 1992〕 which were released eight years later after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.〔
The incident was one of the tensest moments of the Cold War and resulted in an escalation of anti-Soviet sentiment, particularly in the United States. The opposing points of view on the incident were never fully resolved. Consequently, several groups continue to dispute official reports and offer alternative theories of the event. The subsequent release of Korean Air Lines Flight 007 transcripts and flight recorders by the Russian Federation has clarified some details.
As a result of the incident, the United States altered tracking procedures for aircraft departing Alaska. The interface of the autopilot used on airliners was redesigned to make it more ergonomic.〔 In addition, the event was one of the most important single events that prompted the Reagan administration to allow worldwide access to the United States military's GNSS system, which was classified at the time. Today this system is widely known as GPS.
==Details of the flight==

The aircraft flying as Korean Air Lines Flight 007 was a commercial Boeing 747-230B delivered on January 28, 1972, with the serial number CN20559/186 and registration HL7442 (formerly D-ABYH〔Kilroy〕 operated by Condor). The aircraft departed Gate 15 of John F. Kennedy International Airport, New York City on August 30, 1983, bound for Gimpo International Airport in Gangseo District, Seoul, 35 minutes behind its scheduled departure time of 23:50 EDT (03:50 UTC, August 31). The flight was carrying 246 passengers and 23 crew members.〔3 cockpit crew, 20 cabin crew and 6 deadheading crew (ICAO 93, Sect. 1.3, p. 6)〕〔Johnson, p. 6〕 After refueling at Anchorage International Airport in Anchorage, Alaska, the aircraft, piloted on this leg of the journey by Captain Chun Byung-in, First officer Son Dong-hui and Flight Engineer Kim Eui-dong.〔Doerner, p. 5〕 departed for Seoul at 04:00 Alaska Time Zone (13:00 UTC) on August 31, 1983.
The aircrew had an unusually high ratio of crew to passengers, as six deadheading crew were on board.〔Allardyce and Gollin, August 2007, pg51〕 Twelve passengers occupied the upper deck first class, while in business almost all of 24 seats were taken; in economy class, approximately 80 seats did not contain passengers. There were 22 children under the age of 12 years aboard. One hundred and thirty passengers planned to connect to other destinations such as Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Taipei.〔Doerner, pg4〕
United States Congressman Larry McDonald from Georgia, who at the time was also the second president of the conservative John Birch Society, was on the flight. Senator Jesse Helms of North Carolina, Senator Steve Symms of Idaho, and Representative Carroll Hubbard of Kentucky were aboard sister flight KAL 015, which flew 15 minutes behind KAL 007; they were headed, along with McDonald on KAL 007, to Seoul, South Korea, in order to attend the ceremonies for the thirtieth anniversary of the U.S.-South Korea Mutual Defense Treaty. The Soviets contended former U.S. president Richard Nixon was to have been seated next to Larry McDonald on KAL 007 but that the CIA warned him not to go, according to the ''New York Post'' and Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union (TASS); this was denied by Nixon.
