30 years ago in the skies over the Pacific Ocean was a tragedy that some Russian sources today euphemistically referred to as the "incident":
Soviet air defenses shot down a fighter aircraft violated the Soviet border South Korean civilian airliner. All 269 people on board, including 23 children, were killed.
Remain unsolved two key puzzles. Who gave the fateful order? Why did the crew of "Boeing", which, according to the official version, ordered to change course and take a Soviet airfield, did not obey? On a wave of emotion in the USSR has been suggested, as if the Americans deliberately sent aircraft into Soviet airspace in order to test the strength of a potential enemy air defenses, the U.S. - like "Russian Communists" deliberately destroyed civilian passengers to intimidate the world with its unrelenting brutality. Declassified documents and data at the hands of the Soviet authorities flight recorders downed "Boeing" show what happened monstrous misunderstanding, combined with the atmosphere of the Cold War.
