The Soviet shootdown of Korean Air Lines flight 007 in September 1983 raised many disturbing questions. Many theories were developed to explain what happened and why. The book Shootdown by R.W. Johnson proposed that the airliner was part of a US sponsored intelligence operation. This study evaluates Johnsons thesis and logic and compares it to other investigations. The study concludes that flight 007 was not part of a US intelligence gathering mission and that it strayed off course as a result of a human error in navigation.

The idea that Soviet fighter jets would shoot down a Boeing 747 airliner seems shockingly unbelievable. Two-hundred sixty-nine innocent people died in a largely forgotten Cold War attack.

On September 2, 1983, the world was stunned by the

news that during the previous day the Soviet Union had

shot down a South Korean jetliner over the Sea of Japan,

killing all 269 passengers aboard. The airliner, which was on

a scheduled flight between New York and Seoul, had appar-

ently strayed off course into Soviet airspace when it was de-

stroyed by Russian jet fighter planes.

The CIA released that the flight had disappeared from Japanese radars at 6:38 am and everyone on board seemed to vanish. It is assumed that Soviet military forces shot the plane down but the plane had to have landed somewhere. It circled to conserve fuel before trying to land as safe as possible but everyone on board was gone.
