Gander – a 9/11 tale of goodness on a day filled with sadness

As I sit here today and think about the events that unfolded 19 years ago, I am filled with sadness and find myself teary eyed. All the death that was around us and all the sadness as we watched the terror that unfolded in New York City, Washington DC, and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. All those souls that were lost that day – Mother’s, Father’s, Son’s, and Daughter’s – every one of them someone’s family member! But there was also a bright moment to this day that no one hardly hears about – a genuine “feel good” story about a day filled with sadness.

As you probably know, once the planes started hitting their targets, air travel in the United States was closed down and all planes were ordered to land. A lot of plane traffic was re-routed to other airports and this is where we begin our 9/11 tale – Gander, Newfoundland. Gander is small town of 10,000 residents whose only claim to fame is Gander International Airport. Gander Airport was opened in 1938 and was an important stop for early aircraft travelling the transatlantic route for fuel. It was also used as a convoy air patrol base during World War II, providing anti-U-Boat air patrols to protect convoys travelling to Europe. It has 2 runways that are 8,900 and 10,500 feet long, so they are able to handle modern day jet aircraft.

So, the Twin Towers come down, the Pentagon was hit, and Flight 93 crashes in Shanksville after the passengers fought to take back the plane and the FAA order all air traffic to land and if the air traffic has not entered US airspace to turn it around. Gander accepted 38 flights for a total of 6,700 passengers and crew. Now, that might not sound like a huge issue, but remember that there are only 10,000 residents. In a span of a couple of hours, the population of Gander grew by 66%. How did the residents respond?

The mayor at the time, Claude Elliott, had a huge problem in his hands. The town was suffering from a bus driver strike, shutting down public transportation. In a town of 10,000, would there be enough staples to take care of the additional people now there. When interviewed for an article, all the mayor had to say was this: “What we consider the most simple thing in life is to help people … You’re not supposed to look at people’s color, their religion, their sexual orientation – you look at them as people.”

And help they did!

The bus drivers laid down their picket signs and went back to work. Donations of all kinds came flooding in to ease the traveler’s needs because traveler’s were not, for security reasons, allowed to access their personal baggage. Passengers needed access to their prescriptions, so the town pharmacist’s worked their networks to get the prescriptions needed for passengers. There was even a veterinarian who took care of the animals in the holds of the aircraft, which included taking care of 2 chimps headed to the Columbus Zoo. When the chimps had their offspring a couple of years later, the Zoo named it “Gander” in tribute to the people who took time to take care of their animals.

Passengers were sent in to town to sleep in makeshift dormitories set up in school gyms, community centers, and churches. When those overflowed, the town looked to its citizens, who took total strangers from all over the world into their homes. And then the feeding began. The residents of Gander began to cook … and cook … and cook! Cooking so much that the grocery shelves were bare! Of course, what happened – more food was trucked in, so much in fact that the local hockey rink was converted to a large walk-in cooler to keep perishables fresh!

By the passengers second day on the ground, Gander residents had made them feel so loved that the Mayor had a “screeching in” making the grounded passengers “Honorary Newfoundlanders”. “Screeching In” is a ceremony where visitors wear yellow sou’westers, eat hard bread and pickled bologna, kiss some cod on the lips, then drink the local rum, called screech, while onlookers bang an “ugly stick” covered in beer-bottle caps.

The town’s response was so great that there is actually a musical written about called “Come From Away” written in 2012 by Irene Sankoff and David Hein in 2012, it focuses on a handful of real-life stories from Gander. The play has won a Tony Award and opened to great acclaim in New York, London, San Diego, Toronto, and Dublin. The musical tells stories of people like Beverly Bass, A captain for American Airlines and Nick and Diane Marsden who met in Gander and got married the following year.

So here we will end our tale. A story of the kindness of a town to strangers – to people who were stranded on the worst day of days. But the ray of hope that this tale could give us is this – even in the world of division, we still need to remember that we are still members of one race, the human race and that no amount of division should ever, EVER, force us to treat someone bad because you never know when your time on earth will come to an end. As a line from “Come From Away” says: "somewhere, in the middle of nowhere, you've found your heart but left a part of you behind" - a lyric from its most popular song, 38 Planes or as Mayor Elliott said when the whole episode was over: “We started off with seven thousand strangers, but we finished with seven thousand family members.”
