So i was watching modern marvels and they mentioned something about a commercial jet or something being shot down and i never heard of it so i took a look on google. First site i see is a 'conspiracy' site so i was wondering if anyone would like to have some fun and see what this is all about. Or maybe stoned can defend the conspiracy theory and not give us sources lol

The incident certainly happened. The conspiracy theories take off wrt the reasons why the flight had strayed so far from the designated course.

Pengwuino

Well yah it happened but this guy says there was some huge military engagement the US government covered up and we lost 30 military personal to being shot down.

stoned

Finally some interesting post ! All the science stuff just gives me headache.
Yeah ! evil, monsters, commie Russians shot down plane full of people without provocation.
Of course what they say is just a half the truth, honestly I dont know what to think about it, but it smells of conspiracy. If you would ask me for example about Senator Wellstone plane crash I would say 100 % government operation to liquidate "dangerous" element, but KAL OO7 is very complex case.Interesting thing is that aboard KAL007 was also very high ranking US politician maybe even senator or congressman opposed to US policy at that time. Hmm..

See stoned, as usual, no sources. I demand sources to your crazy claim of politicians taking PUBLIC transportation, pffffff! Silly canadians, they just dont understand how our politicians waste our money.... ;) hehehe

Ivan Seeking

I have never been inclined to assume that espionage [that we were spying] was involved, but it really wouldn't be so hard to believe. And it is a bit hard to understand how the plane ended up where it did. IIRC, there were several chances for the pilots to see that they were off course, but for one reason or another, they missed all the clues.

tomorrow i'm gonna dig for some sources, it is almost 3 am i have to sleep now.

Pengwuino

give it up stone, politicians waste our money! :D

whoa crap... there was gonna be something on the news tonight (or well, last night technically) and there hook was "and there using your tax dollars!" .... i wanted to see how else my money is being wasted.

The KAL plane carried nuclear waste. The crew was dying of AIDS, and were promised their families would be well cared for if the mission was completed. The passengers were enemy combatants and political subversives who had been sentenced to death by a secretly convened NSA tribunal. The wind just happened to be blowing toward North Korea that day. They scooped it up, reprocessed and built their nukes from the fallout.

Ivan Seeking

So your position is that the U.S. government would never spy on the Soviets and then lie about it when it turns into a disaster?

Pengwuino

I believe teh soviets are spying on me right now. No not US, me... me personally... theres someone always outside my window with a red cap with a star on it...

stoned

just like 9/11 helped neocons in US government wage war at will without any constrains, so did KAL 007 affair helped Reagan administration accelerate massive military builup, thus finnancially destroying Soviet block.

Overdose

Why do people always resort to cracking jokes when they dont have the answers?

Dayle Record

Well, if you want to make an omelette, you have to break a few eggs. Oh excuse me that was jokes, not yolks, sorry....

russ_watters

Yeah, seriously - the "answers" are funny enough on their own.

Chronos

Maybe it happened pretty much the way it was reported. The North Koreans have done a decent job of proving they are not trustworthy. I suspect China is nearly as thrilled with their recent behavior as is South Korea.
