The Downing of Korean Airlines Flight 007

International law includes many aspects aimed at regulating state behavior in times of war and peace. When a country keeps acting outside various international norms, the international community can take a variety of approaches from extreme to the other. This is what the world saw when landing a civil aircraft in 1983. Flight 007 of Korean Air was the last destination from New York to Seoul, Korea on 1 September 1983. Due to high speculation, at some point in the flight the aircraft departed from the route, crossed the Kamchatka peninsula and entered the Soviet Union.

After that, in September 1983, the Soviet fighter mistakenly thought that there was an American reconnaissance aircraft on Korean Air ticket 007 and killed 269 people. Later, Reagan cited the case as a reason for US members to vote to support intercontinental ballistic missile MX missiles (also known as "peacekeepers") on land. And in November 1983, the US and NATO started using Able Archer 83. This was an actual 10 - day war game, I thought that the Soviet Union was an excuse for actual nuclear attacks. Their power is placed in an alarm. In addition to Cuba's missile crisis, this ten days may be the closest place to the thermonuclear war in our world.

Since Korean Air 007 started in the United States, NTSB began to take action to investigate the accident. It is their legal obligation to conduct the survey, but the US Department of State "suppresses" the NTSB and officially requires the ICAO to conduct the investigation. The US State Department and the Reagan administration did not regard this incident as an aircraft accident, but instead considered it a commercial aircraft that was shot down by the Soviet Air Force. This is the second aircraft accident investigation by ICAO since the Libya Arab Air 114 flight in 1973. Probably the central cube is suitable for this situation, but the ICAO does not have the right to ask the participating countries to provide evidence. ICAO can only request arbitrary information. FAA Journal, 1992 ICAO, 1995 Summer Transport Certification renewal, NTSB led delegation to the Russian Federation during AIG / 92. (FAA, 1995)

Researchers' survey showed that the 1983 Korean Air Flight 007 event was the first direct exchange between NTSB and ICAO. According to the aviation safety network, the following occurred with the disappearance of KAL - 007. Korean Air flight 007 jumps from New York to Seoul, Korea and stops at Anchorage, Alaska. After refueling in Alaska, KAL 007 began the last stop to South Korea. Part of the trip will run along the Soviet border and the airspace. This is the usual route of the aircraft from North America to Asia. During this period the Soviets were in trial in this area, and the aircraft fixed in the US Air Force RC - 135 was in battle. The presence of the US Air Force will promote the response of Soviet fighters. KAL 007 incorrectly entered the Soviet airspace and guaranteed the response of fighter aircraft. The Boeing 747 did not respond to warnings from Soviet fighter pilots. (Aviation Safety Net, nd)
