The Day the World Came to Town: 9/11 in Gander, Newfoundland by Jim DeFede ★★★★★

“Despite the risks, Canada didn’t hesitate to accept the orphaned planes.” 

Feel good story of the decade!
On 9/11, when the United States closed its airspace, the danger posed by the passengers, and the responsibility for their lives, was deflected to Canada. 

Canada's response: 

The stories from Gander are the best of human kindness. Jim DeFede has gathered the warmth, humor, pain, and generosity of a remarkable moment in history. 

Everyone should read this book.

*audible note: I enjoyed the steady, warm, male narrators voice: a dad's voice.
