Gander Doubled Its Population to Help 7,000 Stranded on 9/11

When 38 planes made emergency landings in tiny Gander, Newfoundland on September 11, 2001, the town's 10,000 residents opened their hearts to 7,000 frightened strangers.

Their five days of extraordinary kindness became the Tony Award-winning musical "Come From Away," now inspiring audiences at York Stage.
