Just saw a documentary tonight on the Korean Airlines flight into Whitehorse with some new info, very disturbing. The reason it was suspected to be hijacked was that they were transmitting a discrete code indicating a hijacking.
Turns out that some other US agency instructed the Anchorage Air traffic control unit to tell Korean to squawk the hijack code. The Air traffic control unit questioned this for 18 minutes, but finally carried out the order, and told Korean to put in that code.
So for some reason they were put into a situation that caused most of Whitehorse to evacuate, and could've led to that 747 getting shot down.
Extremely disturbing and suspicious.
