Now this is quite a story, and it is one I never heard before. Got lost in the flood of news surrounding the more central 9/11 events, I guess. I would like someone to say a bit more about about this factoid: "whole ordeal was caused by a translation error." Was it the transponder signal that was mistranslated, or was it the HJK? There doesn't seem to be much room for a translation error in either. What really happened? 207.69.139.160 ( talk) 04:22, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
Please don't use terms without explaining them.
A general reader have no idea what "squawking" means. 90.229.34.175 ( talk) 08:56, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
The timeline includes time stamps for the events related to this flight. I'm curious as to what the source is. What got my attention is the line:
Standing alone like that it appears that the pilots did this on their own. I wanted to add a time-line item with that ATC instructed the pilots to squawk 7500 and the pilots did so. However, then realized I did not have a WP:RS for this.
Related to that is this news article (it's source #2 in the WP article) includes:
The first sentence is a key detail that should be reported both in the article and time line.
I took a quick look to see if there was an NTSB report that would have had a transcript but did not find one. I did find this blog report that includes a copy/paste from an Anchorage Daily News article. Unfortunately, the original article does not seem to be on line. It has additional detail about the diversion. -- Marc Kupper| talk 21:10, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

I noticed that while the image shows that the Korean Air 747 involved is HL7490, the article mentions that it is HL7404 instead (under the image: HL7490, the aircraft involved. But under the flight details, it says Registration: HL7404). Please confirm which tail number is correct.

Korean Air acidents always seem to have a leading 0 when it is a 1 or 2 digit flight number. Seems like there was a leading 0 in the flight number here as well. Sources such as CBC and Alaskapublic did mention it: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/whitehorse-remember-korean-air-flight-085-9-11-1.6170489 https://www.alaskapublic.org/2011/09/12/second-controller-speaks-about-korean-airliner-incident-on-911/ However, I must mention that the new York Times tends to exclude the 0/0's. Seen clearly on Korean Airlines Flight 007. KlientNo.1 ( talk) 08:36, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
