Three security guards have been cleared of manslaughter over the death of a deportee who was restrained on a plane at Heathrow.
The G4S employees, Terrence Hughes, Colin Kaler and Stuart Tribelnig, were on trial over the death of Angolan man Jimmy Mubenga.
They were accused of forcing Mr Mubenga's head down and restricting his breathing for 36 minutes as the flight prepared for take off.
By the time crew raised the alarm on 12 October 2010 Mr Mubenga had gone into cardiac arrest. He died later in hospital.
The guards said they had acted out of concern for the crew and other travellers, but some people said they had heard Mr Mubenga crying out for air.
The trio insisted they never heard him shout out.
Mr Mubenga was already handcuffed from behind and wearing his seatbelt as the men prepared to accompany him back to Angola.
The guards were in tears as the not guilty verdict was read out, while Mr Mubenga's widow did not react.
A section of the Boeing 777 with three rows of seats was reconstructed in court to show how he had died.
Jurors were also invited to wear the handcuffs to understand how Mr Mubenga would have felt.
One witness, Nicholas Herbig, from New Mexico, said the deportee had clearly been in distress and was "very loud".
He told the Old Bailey: "He was saying 'All you people are watching them kill me. I can't breathe. They are going to kill me'."
