On September 5, 1986, a 22-year-old flight attendant held off a group of armed hijackers. Her name was Neerja Bhanot, and when the attackers boarded Pan Am Flight 73, she shouted a secret code to the pilots to allow them to escape. From there, she spent 17 hours on a full plane with the hijackers, hiding the passports of foreign passengers, to keep them from being targeted. When the power began to fail, the hijackers began to open fire and set off explosives. She gave her life protecting children running to the emergency exit.

She died 2 days short of her birthday, which is today.

I cover her story in the RP book. Last year, a movie about her life, Neerja, came out. I believe it’s now on US Netflix. 

What do you do when you already have too many stories on the go? You start writing another one.

“Beam me up, Scotty” was never actually said in any of the episodes. The closest they ever got was “Scotty, beam us up.” in "The Gamesters of Triskelion" and "The Savage Curtain" episodes.

Beam me up Scotty!

“Don’t let Johnny hear you say that.” Scott advises mischievously. “It makes him pull a special kind of face when his favorite shows get misquoted.”

Pleiades: The Seven Sisters Star Cluster : Have you ever seen the Pleiades star cluster? Even if you have, you probably have never seen it as large and clear as this. Perhaps the most famous star cluster on the sky, the bright stars of the Pleiades can be seen without binoculars from even the depths of a light-polluted city. With a long exposure from a dark location, though, the dust cloud surrounding the Pleiades star cluster becomes very evident. The featured exposure covers a sky area several times the size of the full moon. Also known as the Seven Sisters and M45, the Pleiades lies about 400 light years away toward the constellation of the Bull (Taurus). A common legend with a modern twist is that one of the brighter stars faded since the cluster was named, leaving only six of the sister stars visible to the unaided eye. The actual number of Pleiades stars visible, however, may be more or less than seven, depending on the darkness of the surrounding sky and the clarity of the observer’s eyesight. via NASA

An uneventful shift. Nothing to report. Sheridan sat back and laced his fingers behind his head, knocking his hat askew.

“Quiet night, eh, Coral?”

The lieutenant smiled, one side of her mouth curling up.

“Makes a change,” she said. “What with all of this…excitement we’ve been dealing with, recently.”

Sheridan chuckled at her dry humour and gave a slow nod.

“Ah almost wish those International Rescue boys would come back,” he said. “At least then, things were exciting.”

Coral licked her lips. Then skin shone. She wasn’t smiling anymore.

“Any news on Jeff Tracy’s disappearance?” she asked.

Shaking his head, Sheridan crossed his ankles.

“Not a thing,” he said. “Ah think they’re tryin’ to hush it all up. It doesn’t look too good, losin’ a prisoner from right inside the base.” It was his turn for a sarcastic smile. “However that happened, Ah do not know.”

Before Coral could parry with a retort, the radio burst to life.

“Unidentified aircraft emerging!”
