Short story:

Shortly before The Beatles land at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, Minnesota, USA, en route to Portland, Oregon, for a concert, one of the engines on their Lockheed Electra aeroplane catches fire. John Lennon is frightened enough to quickly write a few messages which he encloses in a film canister for safety.
