Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The "Tower of Prayer" monument at Cape Soya, the northermost point of Hokkaido, Japan, is a memorial to the 269 passengers and crew of Korean Air Lines flight 007 (KAL 007), a civilian airliner that was shot down by Soviet jet interceptors on September 1, 1983, over the Sea of Japan after straying into Soviet airspace. The centerpiece of the crane-shaped monument is a 19.83 m tall rectangular obelisk composed of 269 granite blocks with its triangular top inclined at an angle to simulate the head of the crane.
