This week Erin tells the story of Neerja Bhanot, who's bravery is the stuff of legends.

Neerja was just 22 years old when she sacrificed her life while protecting hundreds of passengers on a flight which was hijacked by terrorists.

We don't want to give too much away on this ep, but Neerja's story is a must listen!
