The China Incident

In 2001, an American spy plane collided with a Chinese jet fighter,
killing the Chinese pilot and forcing the American aircraft to land
at Hainan Island, where Chinese authorities took the crew of 24
into custody for 11 days. On this episode of DIA Connections,
you'll hear pilot Shane Osborn tell the riveting story of saving
them from almost certain death and how the diplomatic efforts of
the U.S. ambassador to China and a DIA attaché helped negotiate
their freedom. *Nothing in this podcast should be construed as an
