Take to the Sky Episode 061: Korean Air Lines Flight 007 Part 1

In the early morning hours of September 1, 1983, Korean Air Lines Flight 007 crashed into the North Pacific Ocean off Sakhalin Island. The cause of the crash quickly becomes clear to the world: a Soviet fighter jet has astonishingly shot down a civilian passenger jet, mistaking it for an enemy spy plane. Join Shelly for this two-part episode as we explore how it took ten years and the end of the Cold War before investigators found out the whole truth.
