Woah, the soviets shot down a Korean airliner with air-to-air missles killing 269 people? Never heard that story. Crazy.

Yeah, that was definitely the #1 story in the news when it happened. Much like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_Air_Flight_655 there's no shortage of uncertainty around the real story.
