Researcher Wants KAL 007 Crash Re-Opened: Will Present Evidence, Petitions in Washington WASHINGTON, Feb. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Bert Schlossberg, a scholar from Israel, will present evidence on Thursday that contradicts the accepted theory that all passengers died on Korean Airlines #007 in 1983.
Schlossberg has spent 10 years researching the mysterious crash of the jet, and has formed a new committee to bring public attention to his findings. He and several others will hold a News Conference at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, February 14, at the Army & Navy Club, 901 17th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. After the briefing they will deliver petitions, addressed to President Bush and President Vladimir Putin, to the White House and the Russian Embassy asking them to find out what happened to the 240 passengers and 29 crew members aboard the plane.
Nearly all aboard the jet, which was hit by a Soviet missile, vanished without a trace. The cabin of the aircraft was discovered largely intact in shallow water, but contained just one body. 61 American citizens were aboard the flight, including Congressman Larry McDonald (D-GA), nationally known for his anti-communist views.
Bert Schlossberg who formed the International Committee for the Rescue of KAL 007 Survivors last year, is the son-in-law of passenger Alfredo Cruz of New York. The Committee has many supporters among the relatives of the passengers. His book, ``Rescue 007, The Untold Story of KAL 007 and its Survivors'' (Xlibris 2001), presents evidence for his premise:
1) The cockpit voice recorder demonstrates that one missile hit the rear of the cabin, and a second Soviet missile missed the aircraft completely. The cockpit voice recorder tape, kept secret by the Soviets for many years, revealed that the flight engineer reported all four engines functioning normally after the missiles were fired.
2) Japanese radar showed the plane slowing down as it descended until it went below 1000 feet and was off the radar screen. The descent lasted 12 minutes. Radio intercepts record that Soviet vessels converged on the location where it ditched near Sakhalin, an island near Siberia. Boeing says that it could have remained afloat for an hour if the landing was soft. No big pieces of wreckage, no baggage, and only two bodies were found floating on the ocean. The largely intact cabin contained some personal belongings but no life jackets.
In 1991, Senator Jesse Helms (R-NC) requested information from President Yeltsin on what happened to the rest. If they didn't survive, where are the bodies? The Soviets admitted that they had classified documents, but did not make them available. Since then, there has been no effort to get answers to Senator Helms' questions.
I would like to know what you are going to do with the "position" of the space shuttle if someone provides it to you.
"Bump. Thank you both for taking this issue seriously"
I agree absolutely. Apparently some of the liberalized, propagandized "know everythings" here think Jesse Helms is a "know nothing" without informed judgement.
There is barely anyone left who values truth or knows it when it happens to be found in their presence.
Worse yet, these days others try desperately to controvert it because they are paid to do so.
The airdale said, and I quote, "The target is destroyed." Period, end of story.
And nobody thought to make a friggin' Xerox?
Are you for real?
I don't think you are ...
To believe the Conspiro-loons - yup.
It has only one teensy-weensy defect.
In order for this one to work, the Earth has to be flat...
The powers that be in this world don't hesitate to kill people who get in their way. During the 1980's the Soviets killed a lot of people. They killed a 21 year old grad student in Arizona because he was working on the missile-defense program. They similarly killed more than 20 Europeans for the same exact offense.
Pretty good trick - considering that flight on that leg of the trip would have been via Inertial Nav -
- that means the Soviets would have had to manipulate time, gravity and space in order to 'trick' the KAL007 flight director ...
Yeah, right.
We're back to "How did they fool the IN (Inertial Nav) system?"
You don't understand that question - do you?
Do you have any idea how inertial navigation works?
It doesn't use any outside electronic data sources. Instead, accelerometers in the aircraft measure its every movement.
In short, in order for the Soviets to be able to lure the aircraft off course by "electronic means," those "electronic means" would have to distort the Earth's gravity field. Ain't no way to do that--or, rather, if the Soviets WERE able to do that, we would've lost the Cold War rather blatantly...
The ICAO investigation found that a rather easy-to-make-error would put the wrong start location into the INS...and that would, in turn, cause the aircraft to fly the wrong direction, Garbage in, garbage out...

The following story is *NOT* an urban legend but happened last year on Sept 5th. Northwest Airlines flight 52 from Detroit to Frankfurt flew to the wrong airport. The pilot was unaware that he was touching down at Brussels despite the fact that the passengers and crew of the plane could all see the GPS system in the cabin showing they were landing in Brussels. The flight attendants decided not to warn the pilots, fearing a hijack was underway and because of rules forbidding contact with the crew on a final approach. The pilot was relieved from duty and a new crew flew to Brussels to collect the flight and fly it on to Frankfurt. It arrived seven hours late.
