Another equally uplifting story is the great boat lift. Ordinary people in small boats evacuated more people in 9 hours than were evaluated from Dunkirk. It was the only way to leave Manhattan after the planes hit the towers.

I watched this a while back, small town like this more organized for a major disaster than major cities. Amazing what happens when its done form the heart and not profit.

As a Canadian I have seen this video many, many times and the tears just flow. The same happened when I saw 'Come from Away'.

My husbands boss was in New York City that day but bc his associate wanted to smoke a joint and made them late at that time, saved them both. Bc they were supposed to meet his art dealer at Windows On The World,and that was at the top of the North tower. So this day and this story will forever effect me all bc of a joint bc i may have never met my husba d if his boss and fellow employee died that day. My heart goes out to all lives lost that day and since then ❤

Thank you for this video, I needed to see this. I cried throughout the entire video. Funny how we can be brought to tears by acts of kindness! 

All that we have been hearing for the past 4 years are about negative events. Many of us know that are governments have been overthrown by the globalists, that want to destroy our countries and depopulate the world by 90%, as they consider us useless eaters.The proudest I have been recently of Canada, is when we had the trucker convoy. We must purge these governments of Trudeau, Freeland  and all of the WEF members in our non elected government.

This video and reminds you of the human spirit, shear acts of kindness, how great humanity is and how we must stand up to these tyrants.
I think that everyone needs to see this video especially in these trying times, to remind us that there are so many good people on our planet.

I am Canadian. I have visited and lived in many places in Canada, but I have yet to visit Newfoundland…one of these days! Looks like a Beautiful Place with Beautiful People.

I was working an IT job in Vancouver Canada when this happened. Our offices were a short distance from the Vancouver Airport. We had massive windows facing that direction and I remember seeing a steady stream of planes coming in.

I have spent some time in Newfoundland. I left a man's home with him and he didn't lock the door. I asked him why not. "Somebody might need somethin, eh?"

I live in Halifax. We took 40 planes on 9/11, but to a much, much larger region. Similar efforts were made here to help the stranded. What we did was remarkable. But what the people of Gander did was miraculous.

Thank you for the kind words, If you ever come to Newfoundland and step on my property… I'll invite you to stay for the night, food, tea/coffee and endless stories.

without diminishing the emotional, political, all those other factors, that was a logistical nightmare. covid has shown us probably a little more clearer picture, but everything about this was a flustercuck with respect to logistics. food, water, beds, washrooms/bathing, children needs, elderly needs, medical needs. any time and place where the population doubles in a little over a day is going to be a stressful situation to say the very least. now, add the human element and we see the amazing people of Gander proving the adage, many hands make light work. be part of the problem or part of the solution.

also, LOVE that you don't constantly pause for your "two cents" every 15 seconds or so and when you do, it's usually for a good reason. keep up the good work, laddie! hope that wasn't offensive/demeaning.
