On August 1 in 1990, British Airways Flight 149 departed Heathrow for Kuala Lumpur but it never made it. The flight stopped in Kuwait to refuel - the very same day Saddam Hussein invaded.
The nearly 400 passengers and crew, including two Kiwis, were trapped by Iraqi soldiers and used as human shields.
