"Grounded in Gander: A 9/11 Aviation Story" unfolds the extraordinary tale of a small town in Newfoundland, Canada, that became a sanctuary during one of the world’s darkest days. On September 11, 2001, as U.S. airspace closed in response to the tragic attacks, over 7,000 passengers from flights around the world were unexpectedly grounded in the tiny community of Gander. This podcast explores the courage, compassion, and humanity that emerged in those days, revealing how the residents of Gander opened their hearts and homes to strangers, providing food, shelter, and comfort during a time of unprecedented crisis. Through first-hand accounts, reflections from air traffic controllers, passengers, and local residents, Grounded in Gander offers a powerful message of hope, resilience, and unity. Listeners are invited to reflect on the heroism found in simple acts of kindness and the enduring impact of those who, in the face of tragedy, chose compassion over fear.
