- ANOTHER REASON NOT TO FLY AEROFLOT. Several days after an
- Aeroflot jet inaugurated the first direct flights from Moscow
- to Seoul, four members of the elite crew checked into a local
- hospital complaining of stomach pains; one later died of
- suspected alcohol poisoning. Reports say the four became ill
- after drinking a liter of methyl alcohol they bought in a
- drugstore. Presumably they did not know about soju, the local
- firewater, which tastes just as potent but is somewhat less
- dangerous.
