Description
The Day the World Came to Town: 9/11 in Gander, Newfoundland Updated Edition On September 11, 2001, the lives of thousands of people changed forever when 38 planes were diverted to Gander International Airport in Newfoundland, Canada. The town, with a population of just 10,300, welcomed nearly 17,000 strangers, providing them with food, shelter, and support during a time of great need. As the passengers settled into the local community, remarkable acts of kindness and generosity unfolded. Local residents, including bus drivers who had gone on strike, came together to help the stranded travelers. The town's residents showed remarkable compassion, providing for the passengers' basic needs and creating a sense of community that would last a lifetime. This book tells the inspiring story of the people of Gander, whose selfless acts of kindness have had a profound impact on the lives of those who were there, and continues to inspire people around the world.
