Sesame Workshop mourns the loss of Sir Patrick Stewart. Thank you for being our friend and for sharing your brilliance, joy, and kindness with the world. 💛💚

[Noah @xbtnoah]

Patrick Stewart, who died today at 86, became Professor X and Captain Picard. As a boy, he watched his father beat his mother, and heard the doctors who came to help tell her it was her own fault.

In the video below, a woman thanks him for helping her survive her own abuse, and his answer brings the whole room to its feet.

He grew up in a poor mill town in England. His father came home from World War II a different man and turned his violence on Patrick's mother.

Every time the doctors and ambulance men came, they told her she must have provoked him, that it takes two to make an argument.

Decades later, Stewart learned from his father's war records that he had been suffering from severe shell shock that was never treated.

So he spent the rest of his life working for two charities: one for abused women, in his mother's name, and one for traumatized soldiers, in his father's.

He could have spent his life hating his father. Instead, he spent it helping others. Is that the kind of legacy that matters more than fame?

He’ll never know this but Patrick Stewart showed countless boys how to be men. He showed that strength didn't have to mean intimidation, that intelligence should come with humility, and that you could - and should - stand up for what was right even when it cost you something.

A last-minute FAA safety review of an FMS software glitch ahead of the impending 737 Max 10 cert revealed that U.S. airlines have all been skipping the latest updates. I wanted to understand why. The answer is exploration of this industry's incredible complexity. (no paywall)

Update - Video showing more details of the damage on KLM´s 777 after the power bank fire on Thursday. Great work by the crew on putting this out efficiently. Fire aboard at cruise level is not something any crew takes lightly! 📹airlinerguy

[FL360aero @fl360aero]

A KLM flight bound for Curaçao was forced to execute an Atlantic U-turn back to Amsterdam Schiphol on Thursday after a power bank caught fire in Business Class.

According to sources, the device belonged to former KLM CEO and Dutch Minister Camiel Eurlings, who reportedly fell asleep while charging the unit mid-flight—directly violating onboard safety protocols.

KLM has confirmed a passenger sustained minor injuries and an investigation is underway, though they declined to confirm identities citing privacy regulations.

Images from inside the cabin show a scorched window area where the thermal runaway occurred.

Crucial Aviation Safety Reminder:

Lithium-Ion Battery RulesPower bank incidents pose severe fire risks at high altitudes due to thermal runaway.

Every passenger—regardless of aviation background—must follow these non-negotiable carry-on regulations:

Regulation

Baggage Type: Carry-on only. Strictly forbidden in checked luggage.

Quantity & Capacity: Maximum 2 power banks per traveler (up to 100 Wh each).

Location: Must remain in sight (e.g., seat pocket). Never stow in overhead bins.

In-Flight Use: Do not charge or use power banks while airborne.

Keep your power banks unattached, visible, and powered down while in the air.

A KLM flight from Amsterdam to Curaçao was forced to turn around over the Atlantic on Thursday after a power bank fire.

The power bank was being used by KLM´s former CEO and President, Mr. Camiel Eurlings, who was injured in the incident.

"According to a passenger who was sitting close to Eurlings and saw everything happen, the power bank was charging at the moment things went wrong . Power banks are allowed on board KLM flights, but it is not permitted to use or charge them on board."

Incident occurred on a flight from Amsterdam to Curacao. (Flight KL735 operated by a B-777 - Registation "PH-BVP"]
