Was trying to track the places using Google maps so was happy when you switched to showing everything on the map. Great video.

Great video of a fascinating incident! Enjoyed it. The bit where they successfully evaded the interceptors by pure chance absolutely sent me. What a wild story and it's such a shame that the Soviet response is to punish everyone involved (although objectively it is a catalogue of serious errors - say it had been a live weapons launch, for example). I will say that I found the flashing effects in the drawn sections around 10' quite distracting, however.
