I believe the chief of a weather monitoring bureau was removed from his position.

It's awkward how often these civilian weather monitoring operations go awry, isn't it?

Do you feel this incident from 63 years ago is relevant now?

Yes? Both are ham-handed spy missions by a superpower on another, covered up as "weather missions" only after getting caught with their pants down.
