I am going to try and not make this to convoluted or complicated, but I think there is something up here and I am not sure exactly what it is or how
it fits in.
There was a Korean Air Jet that was thought to be "Hijacked" on 9/11
en.wikipedia.org...
Korean Air Lines Flight 85 was a Korean Air Lines flight that was on its way to Anchorage, Alaska, USA when the September 11 attacks occurred in the
United States. Due to a number of factors the plane was considered by authorities to be a potential hijacked aircraft and was authorized by American
officials and the Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien to be shot down.
The Incident:
After the September 11 attacks, a call went out for all planes to return to their airports of origin (or if they didn't have enough fuel, to land in
Canadian airspace). Discussing the day's events with the Korean Air office, the pilot of Flight 85 included the letters "HJK" (the code for
"hijacked") in an airline text message. [1] When the pilot sent his text message, the text messaging service company, Aeronautical Radio,
Incorporated (ARINC) noticed the "HJK" code.[1] ARINC officials, worried that the Korean pilots might be sending a coded message for help, notified
North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). NORAD, taking no chances, scrambled two F-15 jets from the Elmendorf Air Force Base to intercept the
747, with Alaska traffic control asking the pilots coded questions. Passenger pilots are trained to answer these questions in a coded way if hijacked.
The Korean pilots, instead of reassuring controllers, declared themselves hijacked by changing their transponder signal to the four-digit universal
code for hijacked, 7500.[3] Worried that a possible hijacked plane might strike a target in Alaska, Senator Ted Stevens ordered evacuations of large
hotels and government buildings in Anchorage. At nearby Valdez, Alaska, the U.S. Coast Guard ordered all tankers filling up with oil to head out to
sea. Lt. Gen. Norton Schwartz, who was in charge of the NORAD planes that scrambled to shadow Flight 85, told reporters in 2001 that he was prepared
to order the Korean plane to be shot down from the sky before it could attack a target in Alaska.[1]
With NORAD telling Anchorage air traffic control that it would shoot down the airliner if it came near any potential targets, the air control told
Flight 85 to avoid all population centers and head out of the country to Whitehorse, Canada. NORAD promptly called Canadian authorities seeking the
go-ahead to shoot the plane down over Canadian soil. I said, 'Yes, if you think they are terrorists, you call me again but be ready to shoot
them down.' So I authorized it in principle, It's kind of scary that... [there is] this plane with hundreds of people and you have to call a
decision like that.... But you prepare yourself for that. I thought about it -- you know that you will have to make decisions at times that will [be]
upsetting you for the rest of your life. —2001 Prime Minister Jean Chrétien[2]
90 minutes after the Korean pilots changed their transponder signal to the 7500 hijacked code, and the plane landed safely in Whitehorse, Canada.
Canadian officials took no chances and evacuated all schools and large buildings before the plane landed.[4] On the tarmac, Flight 85 was greeted by
armed Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers who, after interrogating the pilots, learned the whole ordeal was caused by a translation error
Now notice that the Pilots inserted the four-digit universal code for hijacked? The didn't reassure the warplanes that came after them, after all was
said and done, it was explained as some-kind of "translation error."
Here is the curious part in this:

The US military conducted a training exercise in the five days before the September 11 attacks that included simulated aircraft hijackings by
terrorists, according to a 9/11 Commission document recently found in the US National Archives. In one of the scenarios, implemented on September 9,
terrorists hijacked a London to New York flight, planning to blow it up with explosives over New York.
Here is what jumped OUT AT ME:
In a second hijack scenario on the same day, ten members of another fictitious terrorist group, called Lin Po, hijacked another 747 to Anchorage, this
time out of Seoul, South Korea. The hijackers were armed, their weapons having been smuggled onto the plane by ground crews before takeoff. They also
had gas containers that could be detonated. Two of the plane’s passengers were killed, and the CIA and NSA warned that the group had the means to
pull off an attack with chemical and biological weapons. In response, NORAD's commander in chief ordered fighters from the Alaskan NORAD Region (ANR)
to intercept and shadow the hijacked plane, and get into "position to shoot down aircraft."
Cleary there is a "Connection." Both included the plane being hijacked over Alaska, I believe that in this case it went from Seoul To Alaska.
Notice the familiar "shoot down" the craft in the last line there??
So it seems to me that the Korean Air Pilots thought they were involved in some-kind of game, yet they were carrying Real Passengers?
EDIT: Just to add, Notice all the other plots included NEW YORK? That is very coincidental that both a Korean Air Jet and New York were involved in
these "hijacked" war games, considering the events of 9/11.
Thoughts??
