all know what happened in the U.S. on September 11, 2001 when a group of well organized terrorists demolished the World Trade Center with two passenger aircraft to another that crashed in Pentagon and another did not reach its target because the passengers chose to defend and die in the attempt to allow it crashed into the Capitol or the White House was supposed to be the ultimate goal.
.
.
But few, very few know that September 11 was a fifth plane, one Asian, who put everyone hysterical at the utmost, and all because the drivers that they came to put in a text message a few letters that identified as a possible hijacked aircraft, until it transponder code identified as such ... until they discovered the error, or at least that is supposed to happen.
.
.
This is the story of confusion, one that almost killed all those aboard Flight 85, Korean Air.
.
.
mentioned is the September 11, 2001, America is under attack, the skies of this country have been closed, no aircraft can enter or leave, which are currently in the air I ordered peremptorily to land where they can, those coming from abroad should not and can enter, must land in either Mexico or Canada depending on where at that moment.
.
.
One such device is a Korean Air Boeing 747 that is covering the flight 85 from Incheon International Airport in Seoul, South Korea, is calling at Anchorage International Airport in Anchorage, Alaska, United States territory , and its final destination is international airport is John F. New York Kennedy.
.
.
According to the sources would have to board passengers and crew about 215 people, there are no exact data about who were in charge, or what special series was the 747 or its registration.
.
. At that time
is in international airspace but it is near Alaskan airspace for maneuvering final approach and landing in Anchorage, and right there is that from the central offices of Korean Air in Seoul communicate via text message with the pilots of Flight 85 by mentioning the situation that exists in the United States because of terrorist attacks, the pilots respond in the same way indicating that it gave a blind ... and then something happens, an error, perhaps inadvertent.
.
.
They used some letters may look innocent in appearance, mentioned the case of kidnapping with the letters HJK (for Hijacked and Kidnapped in English) , at no time intended to say was that they were still victims of hijackers, they were just commenting on the case of the 4 hijacked planes, but still missing more.
.
. Operators
ARINC (Aeronautical Radio Incorporated or by Aeronautical Radio Incorporated) which is a provedurÃa service radio communications to aircraft and ground controls but also serves services
health, military, and defense networks and noted that message jumped hijack alert on the screen to view lyrics HJK , these workers called for immediately the NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command and Space Command Air Defense of North America) whose military leaders following the events of 4 American planes would not take risks, sent from Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska as 2 fighter jets F -15 as the image and locate the flight took off 85, while coordinated with air traffic control in Anchorage for the pilots to call South Korea and ask them what kind of message they were trying to send. .
.
Questions codes were being made by the Asian drivers, they responded well but for some reason were sending the letters and then HJK something happened that left even more confused people from NORAD, the South Korean pilots put on their transponder code the number 7500, which is indicative that there was an intrusion of a stranger in the cockpit, in other words in hijacking progress.
.
. This set off another alarm
even higher in Alaska, Governor Tony Knowles then ordered the immediate evacuation of all public and government buildings in Anchorage and this measure included all hotels, while ordering the charging Valdez oil by the U.S. Coast Guard to suspend all oil-bearing activity the ship-tanks that had at that time and their captains were ordered to sail in and out to open water as soon as possible, the tugs could not keep to get from there to all heavy tankers, would not allow a big plane as a 747 will impact on something.
.
.
The minutes passed, the two F-15 warplanes were already in attack position, ie behind and below the 747 from Korean Air, NORAD was communicating with the Anchorage control terestre indicating that if the 747 was the standard asian flight to Anchorage would be torn down, using what would be the last card from their deck to the ground control asked them to communicate with pilots for Asian entrata ordered them not to Alaskan airspace and land being diverted to Canada, after which NORAD had contacted the then Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien to ask permission to overthrow the South Korean plane on Canadian soil if things went wrong .
.
.
Chrétien should give chills to think that innocent people could die unnecessarily, and that a statement he gave after this mess said this:
.
. ---
remember I told the NORAD that if they thought there were terrorists on that plane that I would call, but they were ready for demolition, I was authorizing do, but believe me, that scared me, that airplane has hundreds of people, and must take a decision, but I told them to be prepared for what they had planned to do ... you know, such a decision can haunt you the rest of your life.
.
.
In both control of Anchorage after South Korean pilots warn that diverted to Canada receive confirmation of these, and thither they go, escorted behind and below by the 2 F-15 aircraft, which always remained vigilant every single move of the 747 Asian, the new destination was now the Whitehorse International Airport Erik Nielsen in Whitehorse, capital of Yukon Canada.
.
. There
the local and national authorities arranged an enormous safety device as in Anchorage included evacuations in public buildings, government, schools, hotels, industries, in short, the whole city is paralyzed by the imminent arrival of Flight 85 of Korean Air at the airport, the airport itself all non-essential staff were evacuated, leaving only high-level airport authorities, emergency services ... and many armed men of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the military.
.
.
After several tense minutes, the Korean unit landed and was surrounded by police personnel, pilots were taken off the plane (one source says that they did at gunpoint) and taken to the terminal to be interrogated while in the air circling F-15 if the pilots decide to lift the flight unexpectedly, it was not well.
.
.
The questioning brought out the typing error in both letter and the transponder code , but authorities would not keep the doubt, the passengers were pulled out of the plane and submitted for review that included detection dogs of explosives, they found nothing.
.
.
All passengers were checked in their documents as stewards and stewardesses, everything was in order, and was we discover that this was a mistake, a confusion, but confusion.
.
.
But this was no joke or happy ending which officially was given about the alleged confusion of data, there is something else, the call Conspiracy Theory, that all this was part of an exercise to see how he reacted the NORAD if he showed something abnormal.
.
.
What do you think?, NORAD could have stopped the progress of four U.S. planes during the attacks of September 11 and it was not, what then I do believe that we are going to believe that indeed the case of flight 85 Korean Air was part of an exercise military security?.
.
.
be mentioned that on the morning of the attacks was actually scheduled to do joint exercises between the U.S. and Canada to see the reactions to the possibility of an attack, and that when the real attacks these exercises were suspended ... 85 until the flight arrives on the scene, do you believe?.
.
.
never knew if there was some kind of wake-up call to South Korean pilots about the alleged error in typing or transponder code changes , the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA or Federal Aviation Administration) has refused to say anything about of NORAD or talk, all there is considered secret about Anchorage drivers they say that at no time ordered the South Korean pilots should change transponder code ... allegation that the drivers refuse, they say yes there was such an order to change that code, and then came the confusion.
.
.
Another dark spot is why we chose the Whitehorse airport instead smaller place or a military air base, why the flight was taken 85 of a large city to another just as big? Never know.
.
.
And among that if some say and others are silent this incident of Korean Air flight 85, was as part of the anecdotes of events that were about to cause a tragedy at a time that the world is difficult to forget.
