Yes, in response to the question of the validity of the source for the
JAL report, I heard it on All Things Considered on National Public
Radio.  They reported on it for two days, originally with some inuendo
about some testing by the Soviets and relating it to the area where
the Soviet-downed JAL airliner went down.

hmm innocent garbling would turn "soviet-downed KAL" into "JAL",
but i thought the 2 incidents took place on opposite sides of japan...?
sounds like ATC must have been REALLY stretching things this time.
