The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King - The Lighting of the Beacons
In Tolkien’s books, the beacons of Gondor were a manned signal network across seven hills between Minas Tirith and Rohan. Guards kept fires ready and fresh horses for messengers.
Unlike the film, Pippin never lights the beacons. Denethor orders them lit himself, and Gandalf and Pippin see them already burning as they approach Minas Tirith.
Tolkien also includes a second call for aid: Denethor sends the rider Hirgon to deliver the Red Arrow to King Théoden, and that message more than the beacons persuades the Rohirrim to ride.
Peter Jackson’s film changes this completely, showing Pippin lighting the first beacon and the chain of fires alone summoning Rohan. It’s a stunning cinematic moment, but very different from Tolkien’s original version.

European airports have urged airlines to prepare contingency plans for a potential complete lack of aviation fuel in the coming weeks. Thousands of flights have already been canceled across the continent amid the escalating crisis.
Lufthansa is reportedly considering suspending operations of around 20 aircraft, partly linked to the ongoing war in Iran, which has disrupted flight routes and driven up costs.
According to aviation analytics firm Cirium, more than one in every twenty scheduled flights was canceled on Monday.
Jet fuel prices have more than doubled in the past year. A year ago, the cost stood at $742 per tonne, it has now surged above $1,710 per tonne.
Meanwhile, as Ive posted, The UK is expected to receive its final shipment of aviation fuel from the Middle East this week, with no further deliveries confirmed in the immediate pipeline.
Aviation industry analyst Alex Macheras (@AlexInAir) has warned that a serious jet fuel shortage could hit all major European airports within a week. He noted that airports are already informing airlines to prepare for scenarios where “no fuel is available.”
London’s Heathrow Airport is expected to be among the hardest hit major hubs in Europe due to fuel supply constraints. The situation is worsened by the UK’s closure last year of an aviation fuel production plant in Scotland.

Marc Keller nous a invités au match Strasbourg-Lorient. Quand tu vois le stade, la tribune présidentielle, les salons… tu prends une claque dans la gueule. 😮
J’ai failli chialer. On s’est barrés avant la mi-temps." ❌

@RettigP @Prunelli2a67 C'est atroce, mais ce qui est drôle c'est Alsatian on dirait de l'arménien 🤣

Belle trouvaille qui démontre bien que l'alsacien est une langue unique incompréhensible pour les français et totalement différente de l'allemand standard.

This is how Alsatian language sounds. I found a rare video of football manager Arsène Wenger speaking in his native Alsatian. The former Arsenal manager grew up in a small village of Duttlenheim, where everybody spoke Alsatian, and only learned French in school.
