The Secret History of Flight 149

The Secret History of Flight 149

Imagine boarding a flight thinking you’re going on holiday, but instead you get taken hostage by Saddam Hussein.

It might sound far-fetched, but in August 1990 this really happened to the passengers and crew of British Airways Flight 149.

What followed has been dubbed the most shocking government cover-up of the last thirty years, and now there’s a new podcast about it. In this new podcast you’ll hear directly from the hostages - the people used as human shields by the Iraqi regime.

Listen to episode one here today.

For episode two and beyond, you should go and search for The Secret History of Flight 149 in your podcast app. If you’re listening on Apple podcasts, then it’s also available ad-free on the Crowd Stories channel.
