      Luke, as a Newfoundlander, and one that was in their last year of high school at the time of the attacks, I just have to say that this is who we are. There is never a second thought when it comes to helping out a neighbour or a stranger. When disaster strikes we do what we gotta do. We live on a rock in the North Atlantic, and we depend mostly on each other during rough times. Thank you, and thank you to Judd as well, for doing this. For taking the time to watch this little piece of history in a vastly historic time. Much love to you and yours ❤ ** PS - Please come to Newfoundland! Bring your wife and the boys! Bring the whole family! I love my island and there is absolutely no doubt you will as well ✌

    You ask ANY American where they were and what they were doing on September 11, 2001 and EVERY SINGLE one of us can, in great detail, tell you exactly where we were and what we were doing. Me, personally? I was in my 3rd grade class about to read Uncle Ben's Cabin. My birthday was the day before so, I had on a purple shirt with a butterfly on it and I had recieved it from my parents. My name was called from the loudspeaker and was told I was going home. Everyone just started looking at each other because I had been the 4th person to be taken home that day. Mind you, it's only 9 am at this point. So, the first plane had hit 15 minutes before this. I picked up my backpack, said goodbye to my classmates and my teacher, and made my way down the hallway to the office. The look on my mom's face....I will NEVER forget. The way she rushed me out after signing me out was crazy. We got in the car and she just kept looking at the sky the whole way home. At the time, I didn't really understand why. She also kept saying my dad's cousin's name over and over, which I thought was really strange too. It wasn't until we got home and she turned on the tv that I completely understood. We got home right before the second plane hit. I saw the second plane make impact into the second tower....at EIGHT! My mom was crying and I started crying and she kept saying my dad's cousin's name again and she said, "Maria went to work today! She's there today! I hope she got out! She had to get out!" It was the worst day in my whole childhood. Not knowing for 6 hours if she had gotten out or not was torture. My dad came home from work panting and crying saying that Maria's uncle got her and she's safe and she's alive. It was very traumatic. It was just a horrible thing to be a part of. My dad's cousin was one of the few that got out and is still alive. Every year, they have the memorial and they read every single person's name who passed in the tradegy. That birthday is forever tarnished by tradegy. RIP to all who perished from terrorists. If anyone reads this comment and have family members, friends, collegues, mentors, former employees, etc who passed durung this horrible historical event, my heart goes out to each and every of you. ❤

      I'm Canadian, I'd say you could ask us all the same thing and we could tell you. 2 hrs from Niagara. Grade 8. We were one of the few with a tv on wheels in the room. We put on cnn after the first plane hit. I remember like 15 teachers standing in the back of the room watching. Then the second plane hit. I remember teachers leaving shortly after that. About 30 mins later. They closed our schools and sent us home. I wasn't too far from school and old enough to be on my own, so I walked home with a few friends and we sat and basically stared at the tv the rest of the morning. Still absolutely clear as day.

      I had just turned 31 nine days earlier. We live on the west coast so I was getting my kids ready for school. We always had the news on in the morning. We were sitting watching the screen as the planes hit, as buildings burned, watching people jumping to their deaths. It was horrifying. When the second plane hit, my middle girl was 8 as well at the time. She had always been a rather stoic kid. She asked me, "Mom, did we just watch people die?" I instantly had a lump in my throat - telling her yes, we did almost broke me. She just cocked her head to the side and said, "That's really rough." She remembers that conversation even today. I let my kids stay home that day. I will never get the image out of my head of people jumping from the building. I couldn't even wrap my head around the level of desperation something like that could entail. I **still** cry at the documentaries.

      I know exactly where I was on 9/11. I was in the air over the Atlantic Ocean and, unbeknownst to me, was destined for an unexpected stop in Gander. All I can say is that the citizens of Gander and St. John's Newfoundland are the most exceptional people in the world. I will never forget the kindness and love they showed to all of us passengers during those days. God bless you all!

      I was 5, and immediately could tell something was wrong because it was too bright in my room. I woke up too late to go to school, meaning mom and dad didn’t wake me up. I walked out to the living room and for a second I thought I was in trouble because mom was crying and dad had this dark, angry look on his face (he’s a pilot, former Air Force). My older sister was being held by my mom, and mom reached out for me. I got worried and scared but went to comfort my mom. The images were mostly replays by that point, but I thought it was a movie or something. Didn’t fully understand. But they kept showing the planes hitting the towers, over and over, until my sister says (with all of her 7 years of wisdom) “okay, okay, we GET it already!!!” My mom tried to shush her, but then dad spoke for the first time and said “No. She’s right.” And he grabbed the remote and put on blues clues. Presumably mom and dad went to discuss the situation together. It really affected dad. We stayed home from school that day.
      A while afterwards, when I finally understood what had happened, I got really messed up about dad going to work-especially if he ever left without me saying I loved him-because I didn’t want him to die. This event was so far-reaching, and so influential on our childhoods… I appreciate TH-camrs expanding the public awareness of these stories even decades on.

    My personal connection to this is that when 9/11 happened my sister and her husband were vacationing in Scotland. They were due to fly back on 9/13 but of course ended up waiting almost two weeks before they could get a flight. During those extra days in Scotland and London they told me they almost never paid for a drink or a meal; some stranger had paid already, and they often never knew who. And, although Scots and Brits are not often demonstrative, they received a lot of sympathy and support, which got them through a scary, anxious time. So thanks to your country's good people on their behalf.

    I was a 25 year old teacher right outside Washington DC, with students who lived in DC, a student whose sister was on the plane that hit the Pentagon, another student with a mother that died in the Pentagon. I packed about 100 bags of snacks and drinks for the kids to be returned home. It's DC and it was on lock-down, so they needed police escort home. It was like nothing I've see. The silence in the US for days was eerie. No noise in the sky. My friend Tim worked in the north tower of the World Trade Center, and was late because his daughter forgot her backpack. He lost every single co-worker he had, and after several funerals, he checked himself into a hospital. I sat at a bar that night with friends, watching the news, seeing it happen over and over again. It changed society, life as we knew it.

    I believe it was in 2016 that the US arranged a convoy of firefighters from various precincts to escort a piece of World Trade Center steel all the way from New York to Gander. There were fire trucks and firefighters on motorcycles. Once they crossed the border into Canada, they were greeted by Canadian firefighters also on motorcycles. So Gander has that gift from us.

      Yep. It's displayed in the old international terminal, which was given a big makeover a few years ago and has a display that goes over the history of Gander and its airport. It's prominently displayed at one end, and stands as a memorial to your fellow Americans who lost their lives that day, a testament to the spirit of Gander and the other small towns in the area, a symbol of the connection we have, and a reminder of the good parts of humanity that can be found among the worst parts of the worst of times. It's actually a nice little display.

    We were at work and watch the second plane on tv, hit the second tower. No one spoke, it seemed like forever. Then it was ‘oh my God’ this cannot be happening. We were on the east coast and a direct flight path for all planes north and south. The skies were completely empty and eerily quiet. We closed up and we all went home to watch it over and over again. I’m 71 years old this year and did not know the story of Gander until two years ago. My gratitude and respect for this incredible group of people is immeasurable. Thank you Gander and thank you for your reaction and sharing this story with others.

  • @janfitzgerald3615
    @janfitzgerald3615 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    You asked about the strips the air traffic controllers were moving around, the are called ATC strips or flight progress strips. Prior to a flight departing the pilot files a flight plan that includes:
    Airline name and flight number
    Type of aircraft and equipment
    Intended airspeed and cruising altitude
    Route of flight (departure airport, centers that will be crossed and destination airport)
    Your pilot then transmits this data to the tower. In the tower, a controller called a flight data person reviews the weather and flight-plan information and enters the flight plan into the FAA host computer. The computer generates a flight progress strip that will be passed from controller to controller throughout your flight. The flight progress strip contains all of the necessary data for tracking your plane during its flight and is constantly updated.
    Once the flight plan has been approved, the flight data person gives clearance to your pilot (clearance delivery) and passes the strip to the ground controller in the tower. Once your plane takes off, your pilot activates a transponder device inside the aircraft. The transponder detects incoming radar signals and broadcasts an amplified, encoded radio signal in the direction of the detected radar wave. The transponder signal provides the controller with your aircraft's flight number, altitude, airspeed and destination. A blip representing the airplane appears on the controller's radar screen with this information beside it. The controller can now follow your plane.
    You’ll see the controllers move the strips as a plane is handed from ground control at the airport to the local controller and then onto the departure controller, it goes through several more hand offs during the course of its flight with new strips being printed at each change, then as your flight reaches its destination an approach controller takes over before the local and then ground controllers take over again.

    I lived in Madison, Wisconsin, USA on 9/11. I was a nurse at a Plasma collection facility in downtown Madison. We closed for 3 days since we didn’t know if capital cities or larger metropolitan areas were being targeted. Plus, whole blood vs specifically plasma might have been needed more emergently so we wanted our donors to be free to choose. I lived less than a mile from our regional airport and we were directly under a major flight path. While the commercial planes were grounded, that silence was deafening. To see all the extra planes parked wing tip to wing tip on the tarmac was surreal. And to witness the F16 fighter jets patrolling day and night was frightening.

Then news of the Pentagon, then the first tower fell, it was almost in slow motion, then the second came down. Watching the maps as the air traffic cleared the skies. Then Flight 93 information.
    September 12, 2001, all of America was covered in American flags. Everyone was trying to do something to help. Donating blood, trucks full of bottled water, every able body went to ground zero to help. It was the saddest yet most amazing time in my life. Seeing the world come together.

    The story behind Yellow Ribbon goes back to the worst years of the Vietnam war. A singing group named Dawn had a huge hit song Yellow Ribbon. About a man cinnamon home sfter spending time in prison. He’s not sure if his wife or girlfriend would welcome him home, he wrote her to tie a yellow rib around the old oak tree. If he wasn’t welcome there would e none and he would go on his way. This song brought the idea across all of America when veterans from the Vietnam war were expected to be coming home, their families tied yellow ribs on the trees. What a sight it was a sign of welcome

You could hear a pin drop not a sound from a resident or an employee, we were stunned And scared I just wanted to get to my kids. This was the worst day in America. It will never be forgotten and neither will all the people that died. God bless America.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✝️✝️✝️❤️❤️❤️

    I didn't know about this story until the musical Come From Away was created. I fell in love immediately not only because I love musicals but this story was such a bright light during a very dark time. While the world watched in horror at home, Gander was partying it up and having a blast. I love this story so much. Beverly Bass is one of my hero's! Also check out the documentary You Are Here A Come From Away Story, and also the musical Come From Away. Ive seen that musical like 10 times already. It's one of my favs.

    No matter how many times I see this, I don't last 30 seconds without tears in my eyes for my country! My son was a Marine stationed at Camp David (the Presidential retreat in Maryland) and it was a day of fear and prayer!!! God bless you .... and I mean that in the best way possible! If this inspires you to be a better person, then SOME good has come from this! There are lots of good people left and when needed, they just show up. Texas is about to be hit by another hurricane and I'm sure people are already getting things in line to help them days ahead of the damage that will be! Be proud that you feel so much compassion for others. The problem with the world today is that so many don't have any compassion! I've found that tears are a sign of great love and apparently you love your fellow man!!! Thanks for you reaction!!!!!

    From Canada: Hey British Guy! You may want to check out the Halifax, Nova Scotia explosion on Dec 6, 1917. Two ammunition ships collided in Halifax harbour and almost wiped the city off the map. The side story is how the City of Boston sent huge donations of medical and food supplies along with men & equipment to help in the rescue of trapped residents. To this day the City of Halifax sends a 30/40 foot high Christmas tree to Boston to be set up in the city square every Yuletide. A compelling story.

    I appreciate and respect your quietness throughout this incredible documentary. I knew nothing of Gander and their most generous involvement, and I'm so grateful to have watched this with you.
    I missed the actual "event" as I was in labour and was only told that there had been a plane crash. I learnt the full heartbreaking, horrific extent some 5 days later. Even then, I only saw short snippets. I ought to add that I'm from the UK, and so, our news channels didn't continue to play footage after 3 or 4 days. I learned much, much more on the 1st anniversary.

    I'd also like to point out that the US and Canada has a long history of helping each other out, since 1971 Nova Scotia has sent the city of Boston a christmas tree, this act goes back to the Halifax explosion in 1917 when a ship carrying munitions exploded it the harbor leveling the whole city of Halifax, it was the largest non nuclear explosion ever. Boston upon receiving news of this immediately loaded a train with supplies and medical staff and within 36 hours were the first relief the doctors in Halifax had gotten from anyone. So every year as a thank you Nova Scotia sends Boston a christmas tree

    I had sent my son off to school on the bus. At 9:15 i began to receive calls. My neighbor was first and she knew i just dropped off my son. I hit the tv and was in shock. It was scary enough, until we saw the second hit. I said we are at war. I tried my mom and my sister because my dad and brother in law were there every day. Dad just made it t the bridge to NJ. My brother in law walked home from NYC to a train station where he eventually had gotten a ride. I thank God for it. I quickly picked up my child from school because i was truly afraid that it wasn’t over. Then I heard about the Pentagon and eventually Pennsylvania. All close to us. It was a terrible horrific time. It was fear, disgust, terror and adrenaline. I was glued for weeks. Hoping and praying for all of the people. That they got lucky too. We were beyond lucky

    As a child, did you ever have an innocent crush on an adult? Mine was Mark Bingham (a decade older). He died on Flight 93, taking the terrorists down, famously. His mom (retired flight attendant) would later reveal to me in a hushed, shaky voice, that he was gay.
    She actually whispered it, afraid someone else might overhear. She broke down when I shared that my dad had come out of the closet too, a top physicist and chemical engineer (he'd later take his own life).

    It was all planes in the air, across the country that were forced to land in Canada. Cities right across the country took in planes, in Edmonton, Alberta we had planes from all corners of the world, they were here for several days before air space cleared again. Everyone was taken care of no matter their race, religion, language, nationality, we felt honoured to help in any way.

    The accent you hear is definitely a strong eastern Canadian Maritime accent. English touched with Gaelic from Scottish and Scots-Irish immigrants. It is fun when you get these pockets where you can tell the heritage of the region from the accent. Kind of like the Minnesota accent, very heavy Scandinavian inflection.

    The reason some planes were too heavy to land, and needed to jettison fuel is because their original destination was further away. The female pilot interviewed was flying Paris to Texas, but landed in New Foundland, almost 5,000 km closer.

I have lupus and can’t fight off infections so I had to be home alone for a full year until I got a vaccine and then could go back to work.

    The heavier the plane (due to the amount of fuel in the tanks) the longer the runway needs to be because they need a longer distance to stop. Well, the length of runways is finite. Plane too heavy = runway too short to stop in time = too heavy to land. They would run off the end of the runway and crash. The easiest way to fix it is to dump the fuel to make the plane lighter.
    It's the same with heavy trucks or trains or even ships, but roads, rails, and waterways are not as limited.

    I’m literally watching your video right now. And, as tears stream freely down my face, I simply have no words to express to you how much your genuine heartfelt emotions mean to me.
    Ironically, I’m a writer…my love is language.
    But here, watching you and your heartbreak for us , your admiration for the good people of Gander, touches my heart deeply.
    I too, am often touched by the capacity of some human beings who can love unconditionally and to such an admirable degree. It makes it harder to understand why others could be so equally vicious and unkind.
    So, in short, thank you for being the wonderful, kind , compassionate and loving individual that you are.

Credit to Chris Brooks who reported the story, I just tried to piece together the visuals. But it’s another story of Newfoundlanders dropping everything to rescue strangers in the most adverse conditions. It’s what we do. Lanier’s story they joked that they tried to scrub the black off a black man. The reality is kinda gander level.
