What was the significance of the U-2 incident?

On May 1st of 1960, an American U2 spy plane was shot down over the Soviet Union. This incident began a downward spiral of spy v. spy type diplomacy that directly led to collapse of the Four Power Paris Summit, between then President of the United States, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, United Kingdom Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan and French President Charles de Gaulle. This was mostly due to the fact that Eisenhower refused to apologize over the incident. When the spy plane was first shot down, the United States at first denied the incident making many false claims before to admit the truth of the incident when the Soviet government produced remains of the plane and the pilot, Francis Gary Powers, who was still alive. Powers was convicted by the Soviets of espionage and served close to two years of hard labor in a soviet prison before being released and sent home in exchange for the "hallow nickel" Soviet spy Rudolf Abel.
