It's going to be okay.
A. On June 18th, 1947, on a Pan Am flight from Calcutta to New York, an engine stopped working, which caused another engine to overheat, which caused a fire, which caused a panic.
B. While the pilot attempted to land the plane, the 25-year-old co-pilot unbuckled himself. He went to the main cabin to help with the passengers. He sat next to a woman who was alone. He told her it was going to be okay. He told her this as he watched the engine continue to burn. He told her this as he watched it fall from the wing. He told her this as fuel lines became exposed, fire overtook the aircraft and the plane pitched downward. He told her this, knowing that every single person on that plane was about to die.
C. The plane hit hard, crashing into the Syrian desert. Fourteen people died instantly. Two crew members survived, including the co-pilot. And with a pair of broken ribs, he went back into the burning plane, pulling survivors from the wreckage. Eventually, the wind turned and fire overtook the aircraft. And so they waited.
Morning arrived, but a rescue did not. The co-pilot took charge and formed two search parties. The first party went in one direction and the second party, along with the co-pilot, went in the other, wandering in the desert.
D. They eventually found a village. A village which had a radio. A call was made, and the twenty-two survivors were rescued.
E. As for the co-pilot, the crash changed him. After that, he didn't want to be a pilot anymore, he wanted to do something different with his life. He resigned from Pan Am to pursue a career in writing and, ultimately, television. His name was Gene Roddenberry, and he created Star Trek.
F. This story is not intended to be an ode to Roddenberry, although he certainly deserves one. Prior to working in television, he was a decorated WWII pilot, a plane crash investigator, and an LA cop. He survived three plane crashes. This story is intended to remind you that our journeys are short. Roddenberry saw life's ephemeral nature lit up against a backdrop of stars. He saw that we are all passengers pitching downward into the night. He saw that we're all helpless. So get up, and help someone.
