The Secrets Of British Airways Flight 149 - Stephen Davis | Modern Wisdom Podcast 359

Stephen Davis is an investigative reporter and an author. On August 1st 1990, British Airways flight 149 departed London for Kuwait, on board were nearly 400 passengers including 9 secret service operatives. They landed in a war zone as Sadam Hussein's army rolled into Kuwait and took them hostage. For the next 5 months they were used as human shields, and for the last 30 years BA and the UK Government has covered up BA Flight 149, why they were really there and what happened. Stephen has been investigating this story since it happened and today we get to hear what 30 years of research has uncovered. Did Margaret Thatcher know what was going on? Why did Flight 149 land in Kuwait? Did British Airways knowingly put passengers in danger? Is there an MI6 conspiracy to cover it up?
