## Resource

The episode honors the memory of Sandy Waugh Bradshaw, a United Airlines flight attendant who displayed immense bravery during the September 11 terrorist attacks. While aboard the hijacked Flight 93, Bradshaw communicated vital intelligence to authorities and her family before joining a collective uprising against the attackers. She famously prepared boiling water as a makeshift weapon to assist passengers in their attempt to retake the cockpit. This tribute emphasizes how her extraordinary courage helped prevent the aircraft from reaching its intended target in Washington, D.C. Ultimately, the source serves as a solemn remembrance of the self-sacrifice made by ordinary citizens to protect others.
