“On the first day we had seven thousand strangers. On the third day we had seven thousand friends. And on the fifth day seven thousand family members” 🥺🥺🥺
I am a Newfoundlander and I love so much how Poland is doing the same right now. Kindness and love matters.
I really love this musical, and I wish more people knew about it. Such an incredible story told in a really touching way!
It’s a major, major hit
This show should be a mandatory viewing for all school age kids on 9/11
great idea
Our daughter spent 6 months in Newfoundland on a mission for our church in 2012. She will never forget the humble kindness of the people there. She was screeched in and kissed the cod.
"You never miss what you give away" . . . words to live by.
Hey I was in Newfoundland for a year on a mission for my church. I was actually in nearby Grand Falls-Windsor on 9/11 and drove to Gander to help for a few days. It was amazing to see everyone pulling together so quickly and so completely.
All of Newfoundland is like this, one of the friendliest places on earth
One of the many things I have on my bucket list is to go visit Gander. Ever since I’ve heard of the musical, the true story behind it, and how Newfoundland’s culture is incredibly similar to that of Irish culture; my own culture, I’ve wanted to go and see it for myself! The people of Gander are truly amazing people and I hope to meet them one day.
It's actually a mixture of Irish and English.
I feel the same being from Iceland, and growing up in a village that compares to Gander
It's been 20 years. Soon, 21 years, since 9/11 happened. After I discovered this beautiful musical. I came very attached. I am attached to that day specifically because that was when I was expected to be born but luckily I came 9 days late. That was a devastating day for the world. I love this documentary! This need to be shown to the world! 🙏 God Bless 🙌
I head Welcome to the Rock at work earlier today. Had no idea what it was about. When Igot home and discovered there was a musical about Gander airport on September 11th, I knew I had to listen to the whole thing. I've spent most the night crying. I always cry when I read about Operation Yellow Ribbon because it's about neighbours looking out for each other in a moment of need, but this musical has been blubbering. It really captures the surreal nature of a beautiful moment in the darkest backdrop.
I'm teary again. The love and strength are just so emotional. I love this play but I love the people more.
To our family up north ❤️🌎🌎❤️
Thank you ❤️
This story makes me so proud to be Canadian. I tell my Grandsons all the time that they live in the best country in the world!
One of the first things you see driving into Gander on the side of the road is a big orange airplane, beside that airplane is a flight museum; if you’re a tourist driving in, one of the first things you get to experience in that museum is the story of the 2001 landings - it is THE point of pride for Gander.
I stayed in a small community in the summers more down the highway between Grand Falls and Gander called Stanhope, and my family would often drive to Gander or Grand Falls to go to the big name stores. The story never changed in Gander, they are and will always be proud of the people they are.
What a beautiful story & community!! It's sad that it's taken almost 20 years to learn about this amazing community of Gander!! I hope that more people see & learn about this large part of history and the people that made it happen. I'm now trying to read everything I can about Gander, it's lovely people and the lives that were touched!!
It's not sad that it took 20 years to learn about this location. We would have to say that about so many other places in the world. I went on a cruise- it was around 2 years ago around several locations in the Mediterranean/Europe and it was interesting to me that many people on the ship didn't even know where the island of Puerto Rico is. They didn't even know that an island called Puerto Rico existed. Greetings from Puerto Rico by the way.
An Incredible story of Humanity at its best ❤
I’m crying because we in the US are farther apart than ever. Those of us who know how it should be are fighting evil every day.
On that terrible day, you were so LUCKY to go to the NEWF!
My favourite musical. I’ve seen it 5 times ❤
Tomorrow, it'll be the 20th anniversary of 9/11. I was able to rewatch Come From Away today. It was absolutely amazing. I'll be back here tomorrow!
Edit: Back! It's 9/11/2021. We won't forget what happened 💛
How can I watch this musical ?
@@maccadful Apple tv, $6/month
Beautiful!
Only in 🇨🇦
Not really, no. It's just a stereotype.
An Hordinary day...... my God I love our Newfies!
Who is thy neighbor?
The people of Gander says "everyone".
They are right.
Hero’s.
Oh yeah--an Hordinary day!
did they name Oz after the real person?
Yes, all characters are named after the real people. All the people interviewed in this clip are represented in the musical.
@@knightbirdkurt i just realized that, thank you :)
All of them seem to share first names with characters in the musical, with Janice Mosher as a bit of a different idea - combining the first and last names of two separate people
@@galactic7458 Same with Beulah Cooper and Diane Davis
The people of Gander are inspiring. But the man at 2:33 basically says that small-town people who don't branch out and experience other cultures are narrow-minded, even though the people of Gander were undeniably welcoming. The community wasn't hindered, but was actually strengthened, by small-town life, complete with its warmth, friendliness and kindness. The remark comes across as an out of place lecture.
I think his point was that the people of Gander WERE willing to branch out and open to experiencing other cultures. Many people aren't like that, but the people of Gander are.
I can never watch this without crying! God love our Newfies! I have a Newfie heart!
My wonderful Dad joined the Canadian armed forces the day Canada declared war. He was a successful business man, had his own fleet of logging trucks, But his country called. Served in England, France.
