Each week, viewers will get an in-depth look at a different historic event, how NBC covered it (with video straight from the broadcast when available) and a brief explanation from producers or correspondents who were present at the event on their experience covering the event, how it affected them as journalists, and what significance it may have to the world today. The inaugural post profiles the hijacking of the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro in October 1985 and can be seen at .
