nine eleven - stranded in Gander

Der Versuch einer Dokumentation über Menschen, deren Flug am 11. September von Frankfurt nach New York in Gander zu Ende war. In Dankbarkeit den Einwohnern in Gander gewidmet.

[@TimberwolfC14]

My best friends parents were on one of the planes that had to land at Gander, to this day they give thanks to all the people who looked after them. That list was extensive from the traffic controllers landing plane after plane. the airport staff, bus drivers, truckers who brought in the food, the people who left their homes miles and miles away to give help even to those who just listened to the plane peoples stories.

[@scallywag6768]

Makes me very proud to be Canadian, but Newfoundlanders still take hospitality to the next level. These thousands of people were all foreigners but treated as family, not as a potential threat. "It needed to be done. We just do what needs to be done and get on with it". The most wonderful people in the world in my opinion.

[@mholtebeck]

As a Canadian- you should be proud. As an American- we leaned on you- and Newfouland didn't even consider doing less that what they could.

[@DavidWsTrainVideos]

I agree. My ancestors landed in Newfoundland, and were welcomed, I was so glad to see that spirit wasn’t lost.

[@DavidWsTrainVideos]

On the darkest day in 2001, a bright light shone out of Gander, and showed the world that on the day we saw the worst of humanity, we also saw the best of humanity as well.

Translation of the Hallmark card: “Hello friends, It takes fateful confusions to meet friends you would never have met in life otherwise. Thank you for everything! We feel that today we have to leave our family. But our respect and gratitude are deeply etched. They are indelible. Sincerely …”

[@janeknisely4383]

This was like a shipwreck, and they handled it perfectly!

[@alejandrokedeni222]

What the Ganda community did for the plane people really shows how great people the Canadians are. Salute to Canada ❤

[@LindaMerchant-pm8vn]

Oh Canada to the maple leaf

[@jimmysanjana]

God Bless the Newfoundlanders, tough islanders with a big and kind heart !

Thank you Canada for helping 🙏 America 🇺🇸 on this horrific 😢 day

[@gailweatherall1215]

wonderful, wonderful people...gives us all hope.

[@gaylecheung3087]

All these together from all different people around the world who were walking into Gander Newfoundland Canada during 9/11 I may have a wonderful documentary, in memory of 911 this will be a great tribute ♥️🇨🇦🌏

[@stevecook7551]

I'm proud to say that personally know some of the folks that "just got on with it" on that day and the days to come . Though I am not a Newfoundlander by birth I have many friends that are , I have never felt more welcomed anywhere else. Folks that are from " away" see this outpouring of care and hospitality as a miracle . To some extent that may hold true . Newfoundlanders have always had to pull together in times of adversity , decades of living in isolated communities have taught them that . It is ingrained into the very fabric of their souls. Having all these folks " drop in" is like a few more guests for Sunday dinner " mother, throw a few more potatoes in the pot we have company for dinner" God bless Newfoundland and all that come off her .

[@xanbex8324]

I am very grateful for their kindness.

[@dereknewton4247]

Thank you for sharing your story.

[@sheilahinder4668]

It needed to be done and we just got on with it……..just love that 💖💖

[@cameroncurrie7208]

I like the way all the blanket were folded perfectly on the cots. It goes to prove the only way to get respect is to earn it.

[@patriciakeats1621]

When I was growing up in Newfoundland, we didn’t have much but we had hard workers, kind people, and old fashioned practices, and orderliness. A lot of change has happened. Not quite like this now.

[@sethalos]

Thank you for this video. Proud of our Newfoundland peeps.

[@amywhite9972]

No one is complaining or whining. Most people don't even look angry. They are all sad and grateful to be alive... 😢😢

[@markjones1184]

Now we would have people saying we can't be forced to go to Canada, I have my rights- to heck with the big picture. Stupidity along with misinformation is abundant in 2021

[@gnnascarfan2410]

Hearing about and seeing the terror attacks in New York and DC would have made their diversion and delay not even matter.

"The gym was a sight as I stacked the last cot. Thanks written everywhere, and tings they forgot."

[@acaring2440]

WONDERFUL PEOPLE !!!!

[@HannahHiscock]

i live in gander and this masks me proud of newfoundlanders

[@me21120]

Great video. A hidden gem. Wish there was translation for some of it.

[@nautilusiii4023]

The Airplane they were on in the beginning was filmed from Lufthansa flight 400, which was D-ABYX

[@MrScottwootten]

The people of Gander are amazing

[@markjones1184]

This took me to right with these traveller's. I found this well done as a video. People really stepped up

[@Kaefermicha]

Lufthansa named one A340-300 "Gander/Halifax". First time a plane was named after a foreign City.

[@dagebhardt]

Fantastisches Video! Mir tun sich zwei Fragen auf: 1. Wurden die Schilder mit z.B. Damen und Herren bei den Pflegeprodukten von den Kanadiern selbst übersetzt und aufgehangen oder wurde das durch die Passagiere übernommen? 2. Wer ist der Designer/Modeschöpfer der die Modenschau geplant hatte und später notgedrungen im feinsten Zwirn eine Jeans kaufen geht?

[@cameroncurrie7208]

I love that they wrote men's and women signs in German. I know these people they are simple but very smart. They will only let you portray how they really are, or else lol.

[@patriciakeats1621]

You are so correct. Might not sound smart, because of old fashioned ways lingered longer than the rest of Canada. The capability is evident when pen goes to paper, or hand to hammer, etc. People thought we were backward.

[@Jane-yg3vz]

This is the first time that I've experienced Newfoundlanders not being portrayed as stupid backwards people. The rest of Canada has always looked down on us. It's sad that it took a tragedy like this and strangers from away to showcase what we're really made of.

[@strnglhld]

I would love to see a German to English translation

[@barbarabelt701]

Thank you Canada. 1:02

[@terrydurham3697]

Interpretation of the different languages would have been beneficial.

[@livelifeincolour]

Even knowing this happened and seeing video footage, its still hard to believe it was real..

[@gggggggg3542]

Why have I not heard of this before?? I always wondered what happened to long haul flights when U.S. airspace was closed...... Just goes to prove when idiotic acts performed by complete morons fighting for some insane despot, how good humanity can be

[@Latabrine]

There are good docs about Gander and "The plane people" on KZbin. ❤️ 🇨🇦

[@gaylecheung3087]

♥️🇨🇦🌏

[@mikeylalonde]

I am searching for the person who would have rights to this footage... I am producing a documentary on the events in Newfoundland during 9/11 and I would be extremely interested in discussing with you in regards to where I might be able to obtain this footage for our documentary

[@riastv]

what are you interested in. [e-mail]

[@timkelly7911]

Why couldn’t everyone been like this during Covid. The politicians divided ppl instead of support

[@RUHappyATM]

I think I'm not a lady...classic.

[@marvinderkleine]

Why Musik?

[@leoremon7385]

Did he say the internet was cheaper than a phone call!?!?!?

[@makmcdermott]

Leo - in 2001 - making a long-distance phone call on a land line was more expensive than it is today and cellphone plans would rarely work out of country. Letting people connect their laptops directly to the computer network in the school via ethernet (there was no wifi then) was significantly cheaper.

[@Teh_Random_Canadian]

Not sure how old you are but back in 2001 in Canada long distance calls would be .50 cents a minute easily. International calls are much more per minute. The internet wasn't massively established as it is now. Most people had email accounts but is wasn't the norm for communication, neither was text based messaging.

[@Schrottkralle]

Oh ja, Frau Roth war ja sooo wichtig.....

[@anni1773]

Naja sie hat jawohl die besten Beziehungen und war wohl die Einzige, die bereits in Krisensituationen interveniert hat.

[@fernandoulloa3437]

THOSE COLD BLOODED MURDERS THAT COMMITED THAT HORRIBLE CRIME WILL PAY IN HELL. THEY CAN NOT LIE TO GOD. HE KNOWS WHO DID IT. AND THEY WILL BE IN HELL FOR ALL ETERNITY. THERE WILL BE NO HIDDING PLACE FROM THE FATHER OF CREATION.
