A shot of BA flight 149 though the windows of the terminal building at Kuwait City airport. This was the plane that was delayed and then directed to land at Kuwait City with spec ops and intelligence personnel onboard during the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. They disappeared into the shadows on landing and the passengers left from onboard became part of Saddams human shield. UK government took the decision to send the flight in with full knowledge that Iraqi forces were in Kuwait and that the passengers onboard were at risk of being detained by the Iraqis. This was established during legal proceedings made against the UK government by US passengers that were onboard the flight. The UK government paid out compensation to these passengers for their suffering. UK citizens onboard are still to receive satisfaction.
