The aircraft operating the flight, its passengers and crew were captured by Iraqi forces and many of the passengers and crew were initially detained and later became part of Saddam's 'human shields'.
One passenger, a member of the Kuwaiti Royal Family, Fahad Al-Ahmed Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, was killed by the Iraqis. Most of the remaining passengers were later freed, though at least one died during captivity; the aircraft itself was destroyed on site at the airport.
The last hostages were freed in December 1991, one year after the whole incident. Luckily there weren’t as many casualties as expected.
