William Shatner Vindicated

There Is Somebody Out On The Wing

There’s Someone On The Wing…
50 years ago this evening Bob Wilson, (Played by William Shatner) saved the life of the crew and passengers from a gremlin that was tinkering with the plane’s engine and wiring electronics. Wilson grabbed a gun from a sleeping policeman and opened the hatch door of the plane and fired at the gremlin scaring it off the wing.

However, his wife, the crew, the captain, and passengers all believed he was insane. (He had just been released from a sanitarium recovering from a nervous breakdown)

The Nightmare at 20,000 Feet from 1963 is now over as Bob Wilson, after booking a flight from Priceline dot com, seated just over the wing snapped a photo of a gremlin sitting out on the wing.

Finally, vindication.
