This week on @tenfoldmore on @ExactlyRight, a British Airways flight from London is ordered to stop and refuel in Kuwait. Instead, the plane and its almost 400 passengers is trapped in the middle of a war. Listen on @amazonmusic now! (Flight 149 wreckage)

#UK admits after three decades it misled public about the BA Flight 149. ▪️New revelations have indicated that British ambassador warned the Foreign Office about Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, information was passed to relevant parties except British Airways. - BBC -

As he was stuck in traffic on the M3 driving to work at Heathrow, Clive Earthy, a British Airways cabin services director, was filled with a sense of foreboding as he listened to the news. Having flown long-haul for more than 20 years, he was used to truthusa.us/news/was-flight-…
"British Airways Flight 149 is the most shocking government coverup of the last 30 years and the foundation for war in Iraq & Afghanistan." This story is crazy. Listen to the full length episode 🔗 link.chtbl.com/modernwisdom

U.K. always denied U.K. special forces on BA flight 149 to Kuwait. This internal FCO memo apart from strategic redaction says it “subsequently transpired that there might have been some Defence Section staff on board”.
