September 1, 1983

On September 1, 1983, KQED sent camera crews to KGO Television, KCBS Radio, the San Francisco Chronicle and the San Mateo Times. Their assignment was to watch the reporters, producers, and editors at work on what was expected to be a routine news day, just before the Labor Day weekend. This is Gianna Parker at the San Mateo Times. We're wondering if we can talk to the congressman this morning about this KLJ. You can't. Where is he? Where is he?

Are you expecting you might be able to get a hold of him later this morning? The night before I'd heard a quick broadcast on the radio, that of 747 missing. 747s just aren't missing, so I knew we had something cooking that morning. Is this the latest one that they said they were going to send? This is the right one. We consider ourselves the local paper for the peninsula for San Mateo County, so even though it's a world story, it's our responsibility to tell the world story in our paper as best we can. The best we could do would be to call our local officials who are supposed to know these things, such as Congressman Lanto, Sir Congressman Shao, and say, hey, what's up? This is an international situation. In Shultz's supposedly going to have a press conference, he's going to tell everything he knows

throughout a long story in the guessing of that art. How did they know it was shot down? Japan is saying someone said drop off the screen and they were reading these other jets. And then John, the hurricane just told me about the... There's only been identified in the barrel murders in San Francisco. I don't know if he's charged with it yet, but that would be a top story on its own any other day. About the murders of three people whose bodies were found in barrels in Golden Gate Park earlier this year.

Also coming up in the next hour, we'll be talking with Dr. Lonnie Carton from the Learning Center, the critics' choice with Steve Baffrey. There will be business news with Don Wiggand from the Pacific Stock Exchange, plus start eight and more women from Bob Alman. The United States is demanding that the Soviet Union explain why it shot down a Korean Airlines plane that's straight into the Soviet airspace. We try to tell it like it is. That means telling the news as it happens, not doing a lot of stories that really aren't important to people, but to try to give a good picture of what's happening locally and around the world. We also have bureaus all around the bay, and we're bearing it this in local news primarily because we think the people are. At a news conference this morning, Schultz said the United States reacts with revulsion to what he called an appalling act. Schultz said there's no excuse for shooting down an unarmed civilian aircraft regardless of where it was. We had an airline strike seven left for New York City Tuesday night with 269 people of good, including Congressman Henry McDowell, a conservative Democrat from Georgia. August ends with a very slow month, and that was the first day of September, so we'd come off a month of fairly quiet news days in which there was not a lot going on.

But I would say it was fairly typical in this newsroom when there was a big story reminding me the day the calling earthquake was the same kind of feeling of momentum and adrenaline flowing. Once again, 269 people aboard that Korean Airlines flight seven out of New York City Tuesday night now confirmed it has been shot down by a Soviet jet fighter. We're going to do the military. We're going to do how the American military responds, how the Russian military responds, how the patrols from the ground, they don't do this on their own. He's got more information than ABC Courts Binance had an hour ago, so he's going to do the military. If I've made a decision, it turns out to be wrong later today. I say, whoops, that was wrong. We better change it now before it gets too late and not get wrapped up in trying to defend something that turns out not to be right. You're making so many decisions in that job. They can't all be right immediately and what you've got to do is be rational and mature enough to say, wait a minute, that's got to get changed. We've got to change it now rather than wait for three hours or wait a minute. We forgot something. Somebody else may have beat us on this or somebody else has uncovered something.

But we've got to go do it now because it's important in our audience needs to know. That's the ultimate concern to me is we get the best and most accurate information out to the viewers. How many people are flying on that route to Spanheim trying that route? I don't know, there's David, that's David, that's David, that's David. That's one of Wayne's Blue's work on this. 890, Gary Rebson, only 14 or 14. Gary, I think from there you should go to the Reds Consulate. There's really a lot of that committee already. We'll air the story, we'll have the latest on the story, but I want that oak story, I want that racial story, I want the Golden Gate Bridge story. What are we doing about the Golden Gate Bridge? I don't know, does anybody know? That's what our audience has to know tonight. It's more important to them for what happens over there. Local news, that's what this is all about.

I don't want all our heads in one basket. Imagine my surprise. Gee, just like do we win? And to Santa Rosa, I want that Santa Rosa. There were two people from Santa Rosa who apparently were aboard that point. Oh, that I didn't know. Okay, let's go through this stuff. As I see it now, we've got at least four reporters who will be able to do pieces in another reporter who may be able to do one. Rebson. Every news department is operated differently, ours is sort of a headless committee where everybody has their say that, obviously, eventually, the buck stops somewhere in terms of assigning stories, I guess, the buck stops with me. But on a given day, if a particular person has expertise in a particular story, the rest of us will listen to that person. This morning meetings are a good place to sort of get a yeasty conversation going where you get some ideas.

It wouldn't come out of just one person sitting in office trying to figure out what to do. Finally, it's doing the military aspects of the thing. He's going to talk about what American rules are, about foreign airplanes in American airspace. What the hell are you using for visuals? I don't know what they like to use for visuals. He's got miles and miles of stuff, including all sorts of US Air Force video in his military correspondent beer chief files. You're going to have to repeat some visuals. I mean, I think this is what's going. Let's go on. You can worry about that later. Right now, we just want to make sure that stuff that we've got to do is get done. The other thing I've got to make, though, is that because visuals are limited on this story, there's going to be one hell of a load on the art department, on computer graphics, and all that stuff. It's all got to go through parallel, and it's all got to get coordinated early, or it's going to be a manhouse. Or this is following after you.

And with a space shuttle challenge, you're continuing. It's history, mentally. Well, it did. No, I think. I think we need to build a time chronology. What time did Soviets monitor them? At what time did Soviets shoot them down? At what time did Soviets and their first reconnaissance jet? Right. The visuals sound bite. The visuals, it will sound bite. Point by point by point. I don't believe that most people get their information from the radio, or from television. They know that an airliner was shot down, but they don't know who did it, or why it was done, or why the airliner was where the airliner was. And I think people continue to look to the print medium for that kind of information, and we'll continue to do something. We're starting with the chief pilot of the panion, and we'll give him a rundown on how they plot the process, and how they use the jets and maps to avoid stringing in the Soviet airspace, which is all automated.

You know, you'll leave an airport where you're going to go. And each of these course changes. You go across the globe, hunched into a computer with a theoretical, there's no danger. So you shouldn't be able to go off-rooted. Was he here? Is he somewhere we can photograph him in his charts? Does he roll that SFO? We ought to send the camera to the camera. Okay, and apart from the Russians, what do we got? We have our own murder. Well, how seriously do they take that? They're just going to talk to him a bit. Are you doing it? They believe it. They think it, but they think it on us real. Oh, good. Have we ever had his picture? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You have to have a number one. I need someone to help me with this episode of the plane being shot down by the Soviets, and I thought this was Mr. Foley's office. Would he be the best one to help me on this subject, do you think?

He's not available, and somebody really recommended you. Could you possibly help me, and I don't need to quote you by name or anything, but I certainly need some help and understanding how much you guys fly this route and weather in the past Soviet airspace has been considered especially dangerous and so forth. Could you help me with that? On the understanding, I don't need to quote you by name. I just need help. Hey, Marshall, is Sacramento doing anything on Duke Meijens not being able to find a house? He's saying that he certainly has not found. Well, Belsar has a piece here in the Times. We've been a string of wire stores about that for the past three weeks, until he really comes out and does something, I thought I'd wait. All right, but they're keeping an eye on it. Yeah. And has Liebert planning to do anything to down that political party that's going nowhere? That party apparently split into Jackson. Jesse, which is-

She's they never told? I know, they didn't warn us in advance. Jesse Jackson is apparently going to get commoners backing, and I've been telling other members of the party that we're furious and saying that they're turning its commoner and he's a traitor all that, because he's not here yet. I thought, well, when we get him in town tomorrow, we'll do a one-good piece on it. So we'll just wait till tomorrow. You're not planning anything today? No, I think it's best to do it when they get here and there's the opening. Okay. That Korean flight started in New York, and that's why they stopped for fuel and anchors. Yeah, there's a couple of wire stories in here about that. They don't have a passenger list yet. Hey, kid, did we talk once about a story on this bakery that bakes on Wednesday, while everybody else is observing the union? Yeah, we never wrote it though. I still think it's interesting that somebody bakes on Wednesdays when us bread freaks have had to go with Dale and bread traditionally here. And it says in there, I don't know if it's with their lead time if it's still true, but they're still battling with the unions about it.

Okay. Okay, why don't you have a read and let me know what you think. The first question is, do you have any information on the South Korean commercial? Yeah. For an event? Yeah. The short said that it definitely was a Russian missile fired by a Russian megawatt. Any reason? Yeah, they tracked it for three and a half hours. And just a few minutes ago, the Korean announced that the thing was on track, of course. Was there an intrusion on Russian territory? Yeah, that's the situation. But Shultz was asked as press conference, whether there was something sensitive at Sakhalin that they were supposed to ignore. Shultz said no. Yeah. But nobody knows. There was one congressman involved. Kind of the job.

Yeah. All right. Nice. Hi. This is Gianna Parker. The San Mateo Times again. I'm calm back to see if there's any statement yet. Yeah. I'm running into a deadline. I've only got about 20 more minutes. Do you have any idea when he'll be calling? Yeah. Yeah. Very good. Jerry? Hello. Goodbye. Jerry? Yeah. Hold on a second. Yeah, I just came up. Well, I've got the inspectors linked them, but I don't see anything here about formal charges. Okay, this is fine. That's great. We'll get it right out. Thank you. Great. It's all right off the sky from the Hoover Institute. Well, the next turn on something in airspace, don't you just add it to that? Let's do it for the two-star.

Let's take your time on it now. You feel separate things? No. What we'll do is we'll call back the one that you did for the one star. And we'll make it better and so forth after we get faster. Okay. So just take your time in there. I don't think so. I'm not going to change. Basically, we're a local paper. Our strength is in the local news. When a story of this magnitude breaks, the local aspect of our paper is overridden by the public interest in the story. This was such a big story that it overshadowed for all intents and purposes. Any local story that we had going, and we had one or two very good local stories happening at the same time. We had a story on a man who's accused of several murders,

a former policeman, Jack Sully. And on any other news day, that would have been the top story. Well, what we did was to make it our number two story. And it was the only other story above the fold in that day's page one. San Francisco homicide inspectors have linked former Millbrae police officer, Anthony John Jack Sully, to the deaths of three people whose bodies were found earlier this year, stuffed in two barrels in Golden Gate Park, according to an informed source close to the case. The homicide inspectors notified various peninsular police agencies Wednesday that Sully had been made by fingerprints on two barrel murders, located in Golden Gate Park. All right. That was probably the most newsworthy day, the most interesting day we've had in years. We feel the same kind of emotional shot at a horror like this as everyone else does.

But we have a job to do, and we just sort of put up the defenses and go about doing our work. No matter how the news breaks, we're prepared. We have enough people to handle it on deadline. The Soviet attack on a South Korean airliner was criticized in the harshest terms possible by representatives in the nation's capital this morning. I am deeply shocked by the inexplicable and barbaric act of the Soviet Union in shooting down without provocation an unarmed commercial jet airliner, representative Tom Lantos, Democrat San Mateo, said through his spokesman, Art Brodsky. Lantos is in Hungary, his native country, but was in contact with his office this morning after learning that the jumbo jet, with 269 passengers, had been shot down. The tragic loss of life is totally and completely without justification, Lantos said.

Lantos has been shot down. That's what we're trying to think about. We've repressed the button before. There's no answer. Now these people are pretty tight-lipped when it comes to any of this sort of thing. We don't expect really much here. Let's call them. You always hang around the record, didn't you? I'm only laying around action with the action. I'm called the Eggman, and they know me throughout the valley. I sold eggs until I saw too many big ones at a low price and they've seen me out of town. I ran for the vice presidency in 1980. Check it out. Is the sergeant ready? Please depart.

I'll wait to speak to people for a moment. Excuse me, I was not able to understand your last message. Excuse me. I like the demonstrate we're here, and I'm some broadcaster that said demonstrate and study already. So I just lost it down here for joining them. Which is a minor Peter came? Peter came? Peter came? Yes, a little bit. So next month, I'll be 33. I remember the first couple years ago, they share a Korean airline and they kill two people. And this time, I'm really very shocked. And some of the broadcasters said they have some demonstration already styled around. That's why I came to Russia to come over here. Can I just sit on my chair?

I have to do something because I'm so observable. So I just lost it down here. You didn't know anybody on the plane. No, it's not narrative, nothing. Because most of the Koreans, they fly on, they're departure in New York. So probably a lot of people live in New York and probably they are more shocked than I do. You can come here to demonstrate. Yes, but the news broadcast, they said the demonstration restart is right here. But it's nobody is here. No, there's a lot of news persons here. I see, yeah, but I better go here. I have to go. What I'm trying to tell you is that you must demonstrate across the street. I see. I see a lot of you. Well, I better go. Well, anyway, you stop. I wish to demonstrate. You may demonstrate across the street. I see. I'll do it. Thank you very much. You're welcome. Sergeant, now maybe I can. Sergeant, tell me what happened when you went inside. Well, I was greeted by a console or a lot. And I informed him that we received a phone call, a threat of a bomb being placed in this building. At this point, he said that he had had several calls, also, that he was aware of the threat,

and that they had, in fact, searched their premises, and were confident that it was secure. Is that sufficient for you? Yes, it is. So you'll now leave. We will now leave. The interior of the premises. We'll stay outside. Sergeant, when he says that he has received several phone calls, at least several threats of this information that... I understood it to be threats. That was my interpretation. You're probably right. I have a press release. So this one with the console was the official task report on this incident. With the planes. Can you tell us, can you read that for us, for those of us that need the benefit of the sound? No, so this one, like I said, I can say, at this moment, and... It didn't say it was shot, but anybody shot anything down here. Well, that's all I have, gentlemen. Thank you very much. Thank you. This is more... Why did they just shoot just the passenger aircraft in it?

They can see it. If they don't answer it. Have you talked with people from the embassy? No, I haven't talked to them. Yeah, I just called them and find out what they're going to do with that. And I believe the major demonstration goes on tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock in the right here. 2...1... Mark. Officials at the Soviet Consulate say no comment to questions about the down-Korean airliner. This is Jerry Wilcox at the Consulate on Green Street. Police have been here all morning, the guard against trouble. There have been some scattered incidents of people yelling obscenities in the direction of the consulate. And another man at an expensive Cadillac protesting outside the Soviet Embassy. That's a different segment of society. Those are the people who elected Ronald Reagan president. I would hope that our reporters have investigated enough to say, if they go to a demonstration, or 18 camera crews, and five demonstrators to say, we were here today, and so were all the other reporters, and there were more of us than there were of them. That should be a part of the story. Now, a short time ago, a Korean-American named Peter Kim arrived outside the Consulate.

He said he was so upset that he felt he just had to do something, so he came here. Yeah, I've gone back to the fight against them. That is the murder. It is the murder. That's why I come here. There have been a few scattered incidents here today of people shouting obscenities at the building, but nothing serious and police do remain on the scene. This is Jerry Wilcox at the Soviet Consulate on Green Street. I called everybody I could to find out what was going on. And I couldn't believe that my father was there on that plane. I don't want to hold it. It was about roughly 9 o'clock this morning. My father's wife called me and told me about me. He said the state department called her. And it wasn't going to happen. Back up to the table. She says it roughly 9 o'clock.

Okay, we'll probably take a couple of major cities here as reference. Tokyo, obviously. There it is. There it is. We've been Tokyoing there. We'll put salt in here. We'll label this USSR. How do you do it? I'm sorry. This is my camera crew. John Watson came in. I'm ready to go anyways. It works out fine. Describe what happened to you. I was going over to a friend's late Sunday night. Can you turn that around to you? Sure. What happened to you Sunday? Well, I was stopped to ask for a cigarette and pulled out my type of cigarettes.

And then I started to pull out a cigarette. All I could think was, get on top of that car. Maybe you can get him to drive off with you. So I climbed onto the car. I was up on the hood. I didn't know it then, but they weren't just trying to pull me off. They were actually not if he needed it. And then there's another in my leg here. This whole muscle was kind of open. When I got into the emergency room, I couldn't see behind me. But I could see if that was part of the hanging open up that I could see. But the gals that she was playing at when she saw on the ground. So you were lying on your stomach on the thing? And they got you in the back. And then I was actually standing on top of the car. OK. We have finished the interview and we are bringing it back. Do you want us to go anywhere else or just come in? I am at Mobile 11. I'm going to the solar list. It's pretty much all over the Wichery TA. 10 minutes.

OK, great. OK. Mobile 11 clear. To get started, I'm going to read a prepared statement. And then we'll feel any questions that you might have to best of our ability and within the limits that we can. I made their 1983 homicide. Wichens his bodies were placed in the steel drums were discovered and owned a part. Recently, evidence was uncovered which links Johnny Sully with three murders. Part of this evidence was fingerprints which were discovered during the course of the investigation. The search warrant was obtained for the business and living premises of Sully and the search was conducted today by inspectors from the homicide section. George, can you give us any specifics at all of what you found? How you were able to link him with this?

We must have gone through literally hundreds and hundreds of thousands of prints to search. We probably would not have gotten him because he had never been arrested for any crime and it was lucky that you got what we did. Hey, Motive. Hey, where? Right now we feel that the Motive is what we talked in very beginning, drugs. Probably there were some sexual overtones there that we really don't want to go into that part right now. What kind of guy leaves bodies and barrels? Why doesn't he just dump them in the bag? Or weird guy. All these murders are real business. I mean, he dragged the woman on the road, he left her there, you know? Well, that's a question we made ever find out once he wants to tell us that. Do you think Sully has some sort of fetish for prostitutes? Some of them wants to get rid of?

That's a possibility. The ex-policeman from the peninsula who was charged with the murder of that young lady who he dragged along behind accused of dragging along behind a car to erase her features is now the prime suspect and the murders of the people, three people found in the barrel and go in gate park and at least one other murder. I think that maybe there could be an interesting annals of crime type of thing about the persistent search after it was sort of dropped out of the public eye altogether. There have been some minor demonstrations at the consulate during the day. There are promises to be a larger one tomorrow and there was even a bomb threat which turned out so far to not be a problem. What do you mean by minor demonstration? Apparently small groups of people have gathered sort of the yell at the consulate, people driving by, honking their horns, screaming, shaking their fists. These are not organized.

No, they do say they're maybe an organelles want tomorrow by the Korean community. So far the biggest crowd at the consulate has been composed of the news. Which is about number of the demonstrators. But it's early. And also we've talked to aeronautical technicians about the navigational gear and the other equipment they use to keep away from the Soviet airspace. We've talked to a couple of Pan Am pilots who commonly fly that route on red-20 and who I guess tell us their experiences a lot the same line. Well I think the last thing is sort of the best thing to peg the whole thing on. You know, a guy who flies fat-brow actually tell how it is and work into that sort of narrative as much of expertise as you can. I'm still curious about what happens in Russia and Moscow on a day like this. You never get the sort of the mood thing for many of those kids.

The cars driving around, people rushing around in the building. Either because nothing is happening or they don't allow anybody to be where something is visible. But for what it's worth, I don't really hold out much hope to get it. I think why don't you tell me how I like times in New York Times that we're interested in that kind of side-by. Paul, let me know if there's nothing on John Merck's side. Okay. Get me some planes and I'll do what I can with them. All right. Okay, thank you. We're just great. Okay. All right, let's goodbye. Please get some tape. You're recording off a net feed soon. And let me know if you get anything else for the group. Hi, we're hearing people from the first part. Okay. And Kairan Flush left. And now, Channel 7 News. Van Amber. Sherry Jensen.

Keep getting with weather. Jim Slaney with sports. Hey, is September 1983? Yes, it is. We're not getting the violence for you to get in front of me. Sure. Okay, is Kairan set? She's on the state line. And I'm Stan Bunger in the KCBS Newsroom in San Francisco, officials of the Korean Council, who are calling the downing of the Jetliner of Barbaric Act. They are calling on the world's nations to join together in condemning the Soviet Union. With lightning speed, the state Senate has given final approval to a big pay raise for the governor, the other constitutional office-olders and state lawmakers. Newsradios, Kairan Stanley, on the line live, now from our state capital bureau, Kairan. You know how much I have to have 25 seconds or 20? Hi, Pete Wilson, the Channel 7 Newsroom reaction to that Soviet action to destroy a Korean airliner

killing 269 people on board continues to be worldwide outrage tonight. The Soviets saying now they were only trying to help the plane out of their airspace. We'll be live at the Soviet consulate here in the city. We'll talk to military experts who give possible explanations for the action and to the relatives of some of the victims. Follow that, coming up beginning at 5 on the Channel 7 News tonight. Following my big shot, Kairan. Obtained. Obtained. Obtained. Obtained. Obtained. Obtained. Obtained. Obtained. Obtained. Obtained.

What's going on with this massive grey part of this house that is affecting everything? But that's not going to drive the prices down, huh?

How are you doing? I don't have a story. Oh, come on. You know, there'll be a story. I can't make it. I'm having a hard time finding something interesting, nothing to lead you to get something to read on. Yeah, that's sort of a travel story. Yeah. Yeah, I might tell you. The problem with information. You got to make them read the damn information. I'm going to label this, the R20 thing. Should I still label that? I haven't put that on here. No, no. They're going to say that... We're just going to label this as a schedule flight path. Right. Okay. You're going to call Manette at 45. I won't. Manette confirmed at 45. No, I'm going to call Manette.

You call Manette? No, it is 15 minutes. I'll go to 45. At least I hope you see. So we're calling Manette now. Just in case. All right. I'll get to call through. I'll get someone to tape it and we'll evaluate it. Okay. I'm likely we'll get a through it. It's in general. Yeah. We'll try to run out. We'll try to run out. We'll try to run out. We'll try to run out. We'll try to run out. Yeah, what? What? Yeah. Well, that's what I'm saying. The only ones in the world tonight who are disagreeing with what Schultz says are the zombies. And I want people to understand that, you know, I mean, that's a big airplane. Yeah. There's plenty of stuff. Instruments, huh? Oh, yeah. He's trying to keep it. It's all in there. That wouldn't be a bad shock he used. This is the cockpit of a Boeing 747 set up

for very long trans-oceanic flights. Of all of its hundreds of systems, life support, guidance, electrical, and hydraulic. And we'll check our live camera outside the Soviet Councilman.

Coming up on the five o'clock hour at KCBS San Francisco for Mike Pulsifer, I'm Stan

Bunger. With Don Mosley. In the next half hour, these are our headline stories. The Corian Consul in San Francisco says the Russian attack was barbarian or angry demonstrations outside the Soviet consulate. This is a legislative favor he's built, gets through the state center. Also coming up in the next 30 minutes, Don Clien with sports Bob Holman checks the weather. It's nice, Don Weekend, with the business news, George with Traffic, and our beat-check reporters check in from around the Bay. The CBS News, I'm Stephanie Shelton, there's been little doubt all day, but there's no doubt now. The State Department says there were no survivors, all the 269 people on board Korean Airlines flight 007 are dead. The United States reacts with revulsion to this attack.

Loss of life appears to be heavy. We can see no excuse whatsoever for this appalling act. Good evening. The only country in the world disagreeing with Secretary of State Shultz tonight is the Soviet Union. The object of his verbal attack today because of their military attack yesterday on a defenseless commercial jetliner. Korean Airlines flight 007 was on its way to Seoul. By the way of New York and Anchorage, Alaska, when somehow it's straight into the Soviet airspace. After monitoring it for several hours, the Soviet make fire, shot it down. 269 people on board, including at least 15 Americans, one of them a congressman, are feared and presumed dead tonight. That is the situation as the free world knows it. The Soviet people are being told something quite different. We have a voice over. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

The curious and the angry and reporters and a few policemen And the angry and reporters and a few policemen The curious and the angry and reporters and a few policemen kept vigil outside amidst frequent speculation kept vigil outside amidst frequent speculation that eve's dropping devices inside the consolate

that eve's dropping devices inside the consolate that eve's dropping device inside the consolate that eve's dropping devices inside the consolate that were picking up every word spoken out in the street. and parked the car, walked up, shook the gate. The gate came up, and he screamed up, sent it to us, and hollered murder room. We asked her to move away. That's been it. There's been no violence or anything. And later, while we were waiting in vain, for an official comment from the coastal general, another protester, out of the same old as the man in the Mercedes, drove by. Asshole! Demonstrations in front of the Soviet consulate are certainly nothing unusual. But as one San Francisco policeman assigned to this, be told me today, this is the first time they've had a man in a business suit, driving a Mercedes, and another man in an expensive Cadillac protesting outside the Soviet embassy. That's a different segment of society. Those are the people who elected Ronald Reagan president. And also a South Korean, the manning of his country, and this one, that Russia not go unpunished. No, that's not what you're going to do. At the Soviet consulate in San Francisco, for cover story, Gary Repstock, Channel 7 News. Two members of the space shuttle crew

are lifting weights in space. Astronauts Richard Troulee and Dale Gardner use the shuttle's 50-foot mechanical arm to raise a space dumbbell the size of a truck. OK. One story a day, when we do part of the movement. More reaction, more information coming in on that. Jerry Jensen and Pete Wilson are next with the latest on Channel 7 News and 6. The Soviet Union owes an explanation to the world about how

and why this tragedy has occurred. The eyes of the world are focused this evening on the tiny silver ocean between Japan and the Soviet Union. That is where Korea airline flight 747 jet disappeared, while on what was supposed to be a routine flight between New York and Seoul, South Korea. Flight 7, with more than 260 people aboard, apparently was shot out of the sky by a Russian missile when it's trade outside authorized airspace. The best information we had this evening is that Russian pilots blasted that airliner out of the sky, killing all of the passengers, including several Americans. Commercial airline pilot to fly the route used by the Korean jet shot down over the Soviet Union, consider it one of the most navigationally sensitive

in the world. Some pilots and spokesmen for American carriers said they could not understand how the plane could have drifted into Soviet airspace. The sophistication of the inertial navigation system and the cross-checking of information by the pilot and co-pilot, and the fact that there are three of those systems, assure adherence to the selected track. We're leaving the cross-checking trail. Yeah, correct. So we're leaving the way this reads now. It's confusing. The cross-checking, it's not just the fact that they're tree systems, the fact that they're in the cross-checking. The fact that there are three of those systems, assured adherence to the selected track, said Terry Hickman, a Pan-American World Airways pilot who has flown the route since 1968, and who has vised chairman of all Pan-Am pilots, belonging to the airline pilots association. Leaders of the Bay Area Korean American community brought their anger and condemnation over the downing of the Korean civilian jetliner to the Soviet consulate in San Francisco. Two dozen reporters and photographers staked out the building all day, but the only official response from the consul was a task to smash.

One of the handful of angry protesters who appeared at the consulate during the day was Peter Kim, 32, a Korean-born businessman who has lived here since 1973. I'm very upset about what the Soviets did, he said. I just had to come here to show what my people feel about this. I'm so upset, I can do nothing, but I just can't sit at work, so I came here. The news of the downed jumbo jet hits very hard here in the Bay Area this evening. General Seventh Ron Tank has been with the family in Petaluma. Roughly 9 o'clock this morning, my father's wife called me from Philadelphia and said the State Department had called her and told her that yes, it did happen. I'm like, my dad's here. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Really, this is outrageous. It's what the rescue was thinking, I don't know this.

What are you saying? Oh, I mean, very mean. I think anybody who was affected by this incident is very, very angry in Petaluma. I'm Ron Tank, Channel Seven News. I want to continue our coverage now of this entire incident, the Korean Air Line incident, the Soviet trimming down of that airliner, and we have Mark Kuhn on the line now. Mark guy is reporting who's been in Santa Barbara through the course of the day, the Western White House, just to find out exactly what is happening and the way they're dealing with the entire incident, Mark. Well, we have this late bringing great presidential presidential secretary Larry Speaks has just announced now that President Reagan has laid back to Washington tomorrow morning. There's no question that the advent of electronic journalism has answered the what question very often to readers, listeners, and viewers, but has remained largely for newspapers

to answer the why question and the how question. It's a frustration we have all the time. We live with it every day. We know radio is going to beat us to what has happened. Radio is limited by time, so they don't cover a hell of a lot. But anything they want to, they can tell what happened, like that, and we can't. But we can tell how it happened, and we can tell why it happened. We're saying flat out the Russians knock up. We're going to say flat out it. There is more news, and here's part of it, after four months of work, San Francisco police say that they have the man, the man who killed three people and stuffed their bodies into barrels in Golden Gate Park. A 39-year-old former Milbrae police officer is their prime suspect, and police say he may have been involved and even more murders. David Louis has more on that story. It is looking like sex, drugs, and rock and roll may link 39-year-old Anthony John Sully to more than the single murder charge he is facing in San Mateo County. Police said three additional counts of murder

will be filed next week against Anthony J. Sully, 39 of burling game, an electrical contractor. The warehouse where Sully lived in a small apartment has been a target of a week-long search by investigators from San Francisco, the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office, and South San Francisco police since he was arrested last Thursday. A man in San Francisco is very lucky to be alive this evening. George, they said we'll wait two minutes. Stopped in last night above a cigarette and something that's slammed down against the wall of the drop. And that's the Mr. Fisher who saw it here by a car. This is cool. Can I put it on a wire? We take this one. We'll take it right after this. Oh, well. Sir, faster. We'll get on that. I'll move it. I'm going to pick it. And then these people were, the two assailants were still trying to get at me. And I didn't know it then, but they weren't just trying to pull me off. They were actually knifeingly then. In football, running back Carl Monroe of Utah waved earlier in the week by the 49ers has been resigned, adding a fifth back to the San Francisco offense. Hi, this is Randy Schilz at the Chronicle. Do you have any unnatural deaths

over there that we need to know about? OK, thank you very much. Chronicle, here, do you have any activity over there in Concord? Do we need to know about it? OK. Great. Thank you. Hey, Scott, you have that map that has the warning on it. What are you doing? I'm going to go ahead. I'm going to go ahead and use it. I thought it was warning, man. Thank you, Scott. Good. It's really got me to let that work out. OK. This is how maybe the 48ers take the number on those numbers. I'm conservative. When we start to warm up, I maybe as much as two to four degrees below. So sunny and warmer days to a Saturday. And yes, I know, Jerry. What about through Monday? It's up to Monday. I'm going to play this day, the same with return of only patching on by end of this. I'll let it warm today. And like I said, the day when does ain't usually goes to a wash out meet of school. And that's in San Jose, and it's a beautiful picture. Oh, palm tree. And somebody collecting coconuts, before you ask, when the 49ers win, is the answer. OK, fine. Thank you very much for the answer. That's our news for now.

Stay tuned for ABC World News tonight. And join us tonight at 11 o'clock for the very latest on that Korean plane incident. Thanks for being with us. Good night. All the things that we were discussing about it. Thank you. That was a pleasure. That's great. That's a way you've been ready. A way with it then. Yeah, the only problem was that particular word. Spying. No, no, no, no. We're talking about something before. Asking if you could cut that out, right? Yeah. Yes. That got excised between the five and the six. And I had to, I proved it on the five, and turned out that I was told that was not correct. And so we looked it on the six. I don't blame it. I heard it in my earpiece. I heard the edit, and I thought, hmm, I wonder what happened to my, uh, we're dead. I don't let you know. Jerry? No. You were relatively pleased? Well, for a one issue shot, that was fine. A segment was terrific. The open was terrific.

I was told to come back to two, and that's why I did. So you might check with whoever it was again that time. Okay. It must have felt more uncomfortable than it looked. It looked fine. It looked fine. I couldn't feel that uncomfortable. It was just, you know, it was different. It was different. Did what I was told. That concept was really nice. I'd like to call it opening, and I'd like to flow right when everything, and it's terrific. I think whenever you can do the whole A segment, the whole A story. Yeah. Well, we certainly covered it from six to nine. There's no doubt about that. Um, let's do follows. Um, what do we want to do? We've got the consulate demonstration tomorrow. That's right. Well, we have to be careful about the privacy of the North Bank family. We thought it was on that plane on the other hand. It's a good, strong little angle. Going back, what to fill it up, yeah, I believe. Yeah.

There you have it. We should probably arrange to get a piece out of there. We'll go back with it. I don't. I wouldn't describe if Reagan doesn't invite all the families to watch. Everybody got it? That's a wrap. Straight for lights. I'll tell you. That's a day. That's a day I had. Yeah. Local loads. That's what this is all about. Thank you.
