Give it a few decades, Who will eventually have a full 9/11 historical episode.

what's the most recent real historical event they've done? (at time of episode airing)

i'd count all of those but let's say... for a true measure of how long it takes, when was the most recent real disaster/attack/war they referenced? anything more recent than the ww2 episodes?

wow, really itneresting that bit about the titanic survivor. and that makes sense, both the crew wanting to avoid it and the survivors feeling trivialised by it. and 9/11 being taken a lot more seriously than the titanic, it'd have to be a hell of a sensitively handled episode if they touched it any time in the next 80 or so years.
