I'm a former 1N4A but was previously trained STW and this story is as crazy as the US/China 2001 EP-3 incident.

These folks were literally almost history. An international incident. They still can't tell their family I'd bet.

I daresay this would've been significantly more serious than that Chinese incident, given the pre-existing situation with Russia, that it would've probably killed everyone on board, and it would've been on purpose.
