During the 9/11 nightmare, or the day after, a Korean widebody jet was almost destroyed because of radio confusion over or near Alaska.
Apparently at least one F-15 fighter climbed for an interception.
This happened to a Korean Air Lines flight in Soviet airspace many years ago (partly due to a military "ELINT" jet's proximity, and also to cover up a different mistake on the part of the Soviet Commander for the area) and everybody on board died.
Korean crews and passengers almost paid with their lives a SECOND time!
