Kuwait After The Gulf War
A Kuwaiti official seated amongst the wreckage of a British Airways Boeing 747 aircraft, registration G-AWND, on an apron at Kuwait International Airport in Kuwait in March 1991. The aircraft, on flight 149, landed in Kuwait on 2nd August 1990 just as advancing Iraqi Army troops arrived and took over the airport as part of their invasion of Kuwait. All the passengers were captured and some were held hostage and used as human shields during the subsequent Gulf War. (Photo by Peter Jordan/Popperfoto via Getty Images)
