The Crash of Korean Air Lines Flight 007
Chapter 4 The Crash of Korean Air Lines Flight 007 For want of the nail the horse-shoe was lost; For want of the shoe the horse was lost; For want of the horse the rider was lost; For want of the rider the battle was lost; For want of the battle the kingdom was lost; And all for the want of a horse-shoe nail. — George Herbert (1593–1633), ‘‘Horse Shoe Nail’’ e are now ready to make a leap. Quite a big one, from watches to high- ﬂying aircraft, showing that the same underlying structures that Wrender the watch confusing also exist in the world of complex safety- critical systems. In fact, this is one of the central messages of this book. But please don’t be intimidated by the perceived complexity of the aircraft systems, autopilots, and navigation systems—you will see that, basically, they are not different from fans, climate control systems, and digital watches. We will be using the same descriptive language with which we are already familiar to look at and understand the inherent problems that cause confusion and error. Flight 007 One of the most tragic and perplexing civil aviation disasters in the twentieth century was the loss of a Korean jetliner in 1983. Korean Air Lines Flight 007 (KAL 007), a Boeing 747 jumbo jet ﬂying from Anchorage, Alaska, to Seoul, South Korea, deviated more than 200 miles into Soviet territory and was 50 • Asaf Degani subsequently shot down. There were no survivors; all 240 passengers and 29 crewmembers perished in the crash.
