The Canadians in Gander were not just hero’s to land all the people and planes, but superhero’s to open their homes, provide food, shelter and immense kindness to help the displaced people for a few days. On that terrible day, Canada, Newfoundland, and the wonderful people of Newfoundland were the silver lining. ❤️🇨🇦

from my experience in newfoundland over the last year that's just the way Newfoundlanders are. my mobility cart broke and as I was waiting for parts and trying to figure out how to get it fixed with one hand I was pushing myself to get dinner in a wheelchair everyday. the guy that lives at the corner passed me got home turned around came back to see why I was using the chair I explained what happened he got me the rest of the way home and for the next week brought me food and helped fix my mobility cart. we got it fixed and the carb plugged up and quit running on the testdrive so he came and got me towed me home and I ordered a new carb it gets here tomorrow

I was stuck in stand-still traffic on the 405 after the US airspace closed on 9/11 and watched one after another plane land at LAX. I was in the car with several other college students and every time we saw a plane land, we cheered like it was a goal scored at a football game. But it was absolutely insane the planes in line to land one after the other. Everyone in ATC that day was absolutely amazing.

I lived in Portland, Oregon, and the F-15's that are supposed to provide air superiority for the entire west coast at the time were based here. It was like... my fourth day of high school, and as I was walking out the door to go to school my mother got a call from her sister, she gasped, and she shouted at me "Go turn on the TV!" I kind of sighed, because I was annoyed and was going to be late to school, so I asked "What channel?" and she said "It doesn't matter." and I have never felt my blood chill that quickly before or since. Later that day, after everything had landed, the F-15's were doing max performance take-offs from the air base, which is like right in the middle of the city, and they were flying cap missions. I walked out side and watched an F-15 scream past going at least Mach 0.9 at less than 1,500 feet before doing an almost vertical shot into the sky, break the sound barrier, and just BOOK its way to the south. Those two memories, the channel comment and the F-15 flying right over my head, are burned into my mind.

The volunteers who stepped up with personal and commercial boats to help evacuate lower Manhattan (350,000-500,000 in 9 hours) managed to dwarf the boat-lift at Dunkirk in WWII (350,000 in 9 days). I highly recommend it.

The NY ferry takes 4 minutes. It's takes up to 8 hours just to sail from Dunkirk to England at the fastest route, while not actively avoiding enemy vessels trying to blow you up. You cant say the distance doesn't matter when its impossible to do the trip in under 8 hours, but NY was able to make quite a few 8 _minute_ trips in that time

One thing that I decided from the first year was that whenever I see 911 in any clock ⏰ I always say a Prayer for one person and sometimes I pick a Daughter a Son, Father, mother or any other family member. This I will never FORGET! I still cry when I watch these videos and I hope that I never stop. Love to all of you who are reading this. Blessings from Paso Robles, California, Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😢🇺🇸

Gander was the most extreme case - and fitting, as they were the control center as well.

I was working in a hospital about an hour from Boston. I watched the events unfold in the emergency department. We were near an air force base. I remember seeing fighters over head. I eventually learned that a high school friend was on board 175. My heart broke.

I’ll never forget this day as long as I live. I was feeding my baby on the lounge and watching the tv in absolute horror. May the ppl who died on 9/11 and all the people who have died after as a direct result of 9/11 rest in eternal paradise 😢 Kudos to all the pilots, air hostesses and traffic controllers for doing an outstanding job under such extreme and tragic circumstances

This was an excellent documentary and a reminder of how Canada came to the aid of the America by helping clear the airspace and taking in the international flights on 9/11. I was about to ask whether or not the US government paid Canada to have all those flights diverted, but then I remembered airliners have to pay landing fees to the airports.

I was 6 years old when this happened. I remember my mom waking me up that morning saying that someone had attacked the twin towers. I didn't fully understand at the time, but I think I knew it wasn't good. I'll ever forget that day. Still makes me emotional. Ps. Thank you Radio control people, and Gander for what you did for us.

This is absolutely amazing! I heard of this just a few years ago. I saw a documentary on how the lovely people of Gander opened their hearts and homes to complete strangers. It reminds me of the people of Lockerbie Scotland after a bomb exploded in a large American plane, and it crashed into their town. They respectfully cared for the dead, their belongings, and later on, the deceased’s families. These huge numbers of planes landing on 9/11 in various airports is an unimaginable feat, utterly professionally handled. They didn’t loose a single plane. When I think of what happened in Tenerife in the 1970’s.. large planes having been diverted to an airport not designed for large jets… and a series of very unfortunate circumstances causing the largest air crash in history. I hadn’t even thought about how hard everybody had to work to pull this off. After the initial shock of the 4 planes crashing and buildings collapsing a lot of things went right. Unsung heroes , indeed!

I've always wondered what sort of difficulties must have been going on for all passenger jets in the air to suddenly have to land at the nearest airport. I really didn't think about transatlantic flights. I'm sure suddenly shutting down US airspace increased the possibilities of accidents occurring. Thanks for posting!

Gander had 14 controllers to land 38 planes and plenty of parking. Good thing that 2nd pilot was paying attention when ATC brought them in too tight. They dodged a bullet there.

I think it was more the plane that had landed before the Sabena, for whatever reason was not able to get off the runway quick enough. Pilots are always prepared to do a go around.
