I have just heard a very nasty rumor.  It seems that one of the
large U.S. Insurance companies (Continental?) has refused to
pay the claim on the airliner downed by the Soviets.  The reason
it seems is that they asked for the specs on the frame (in order
to order the replacement) and found out that it was modified in
some top secret fashion and the company also found out that the
crew was comprised of military personel.  Part of the rumor was
that the insurance company then cancelled all of KLMs other
policies as well.  This rumor came to me at least fourth hand, 
has anybody else heard similar stories?
