ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"The Day the World Came to Town: 9/11 in Gander, Newfoundland" by Jim DeFede tells the remarkable true story of how the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, responded to the aftermath of the September 11th attacks. When U.S. airspace closed, 38 planes carrying over 6,000 passengers were diverted to Gander International Airport, effectively doubling the town's population overnight. Faced with this unprecedented situation, the residents of Gander and surrounding communities opened their homes and hearts to the stranded passengers, known as the "plane people." The book explores the heartwarming connections that developed between locals and passengers as they navigated the uncertainty and fear of the time, highlighting the enduring power of human kindness and resilience in the face of adversity.
