poltr126 years ago today (Sept. 1), a Soviet fighter jet shot down a civilian aircraft that inadvertently strayed too far into Soviet airspace. (Wikipedia article here.)
I knew one of the passengers on that flight: Woon Kwang Siow.
Woon was flying home to see his parents in Malaysia. He was a student at the University of Buffalo, and a student consultant. He also developed a Space Invaders game for the graphics terminals we had at the satellite computing site on the second floor of Furnas Hall. I still remember how he always greeted me: "Hi Jim! What's up?"
I still miss him.
