Answer: B.B. King. In 1949 two men fighting over a woman named Lucille knocked over a heater and set a dance hall ablaze; King ran back in for his guitar and named it so he would never do that again.
Answer: So passengers and crew can see outside in an emergency. Take-off and landing are when most accidents happen; seeing which side has fire or water decides which exits to use. Dimming the lights at night is for the same reason.
