How A Missile Strike Forced A 707 To Land On A Frozen Lake In 1978

45 years ago today, on April 20th, 1978, Korean Air Lines flight 902 took off from Paris Orly Airport (ORY) in France, at 13:39 local time. It was bound for South Korea's Gimpo International Airport (GMP) via Ted Stevens Anchorage International (ANC) in the US federal state of Alaska. However, as the carrier's Boeing 707 was on its way to its American stopover, it was shot down by Soviet forces.
