On this day in 1983, Rep. Larry McDonald (D-Ga.), along with 268 other passengers and crew members aboard Seoul-bound Korean Air Lines Flight 007, perished when a Soviet Su-15 interceptor shot down the Boeing 747-230B airliner with a missile near Sakhalin Island.
McDonald had planned to attend a ceremony marking the 30th anniversary of the U.S.-South Korea defense pact. He remains the most recent member of Congress to die from a violent incident while in office.
There was a cia monitoring post on the plane.Could China decide that the followers of this country would get excited about "saving" the democratic party with the death of Pelosi and prevent the GOP walkover?
I still remember the death of anti-communist Rep. Larry McDonald on his way to Korea. Still not convinced it wasn't because they knew who was on board.
Now this is becoming clear. China is attempting to give a bump to the Democrats by allowing them to "Defy" them and look like heros.
