@@Albertarocks So, you don't appreciate the 1,500+ American firefighters who have risked their lives helping in the recent Canadian fires? Americans have been number one in giving to charity for decades. We also have many volunteers who do such things as delivering hot meals to senior citizens who are housebound, helping mentally and physically challenged people through horse riding, teaching English to non-native speakers, collecting food and clothing for the needy, soup kitchens, food banks, reading to the blind, walking dogs that are in shelters. The list could go on and on. Pres. Kennedy started the Peace Corps in which thousands of Americans have volunteered. You obviously know nothing about "boat lift" on 9/11. You are ignorant of the fact that Americans travel from all parts of the country to a disaster area to help out. I have personal experience with Hurricane Katrina. I drove from three states away at my own expense and slept in the back of my pickup truck.
@@reindeer7752 Get off your throne sweetheart. I've lived beside real Americans from Montana for 70 years now, and I've never seen one of them toot their own horn like you just did. Canadians love Americans more than your own foul government does. American governments have started and financed 170 wars since the end of WW2. The current American government is responsible, "DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE" for forcing this entire needless war in Ukraine. Once you wake TF up to the real facts of the world, and recognize that you and your type are the cause of 98% of everything that ails our once beautiful planet, you would have a right to berate me. But at this point... you've just made one great big ass of yourself.
Right back at you my American Brother !!! Sent quite a bit of time in the U.S. .....couple of times, small problems, one time not so small young, broke, would have been stranded without kindness of Americans, trusted me to leave owing them $300 repair bill on my truck .... they got paid a week later, but still, they didn't have to do that !! God Bless America !!
Yes. YES! You are the kind of person I need in my world. I have often said on internet forums, that it is not in the human nature to be warring. Warring is only a construct of the monsters who cause wars... the banking class... those who profit from wars... those who Jesus hated. I was fairly big guy when I was younger, I was strong, but I never had any inclination to turn myself to be an ugly soul. Although I never took shit from any man. OMG, if I had only heard you say that 40 years ago I would have asked you to dance with me. 💗
I watch a lot of reaction videos. But I have never seen two guys sit there and offer so much quiet and respectful focus on the topic as you two guys do. Normally I would perceive such quietness from "reactors" as being 'not that interested'. In your case though, I see it as showing ultimate respect. That's so impressive. Thank you.
What a lovely comment and thank you, yes we have a genuine interest and put ourselves in that persons shoes, very insightful and throughly enjoyed learning about the respect and kindness of the Canadian people ina crisis:) 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Since it happened, ten years later a Canadian couple wrote a play about what happened in Gander. It was a huge Broadway hit and has been shown around the world. It’s called Come From Away and is fantastic. There is also a documentary with the actual people that is called “YouAreHere. A Come From Away Story”. Well worth the watch. Thanks so much for your review of the Gander story. Such a feel-good story. 👏👏👏🇨🇦
We have the best neighbors. I’ve never met a Canadian person I didn’t like. They are so kind and they are the funniest people too always making me laugh.

The 2010 Winter Olympics were in Vancouver, BC Canada. Tom Brokaw did several documentaries about Canada's relationship with the US during those two weeks. There is another documentary about how the events in Gander on 9/11 had a ripple effect and became a broadway play. It's called "Gander's Ripple Effect: How a Small Town's Kindness Opened on Broadway" and was made another 8 years after Brokaws documentary. There was a 10 year anniversary in Gandor a year after the Yellow Ribbon documentary and several passengers returned for it. A pair of writers went not knowing what to expect but they turned the stories they gathered into a musical play that was so successful that it opened on Broadway in New York in 2017. The people who were the focus of the Yellow Ribbon documentary, plus some others were portrayed in the play. It really does add to this story and is also quite good. It is another long one but if you're interested here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/LTNDRvUqVQA/v-deo.html
I'm Canadian from Alberta....go across the border a lot to Montana, beautiful place...we have met many wonderful Americans and consider them to be good friends....there is a tongue in cheek joke in Canada....." What is a Canadian?" .... answer..." An unarmed American with health care!" 😀😀
I love that description! Definitely an accurate description but when Canadians hear the word war they jump in to help their allies and kick some ass that’s for sure!
Every year around September 11, there's a TV special (maybe on UA-cam?) about the Gander Air Traffic Controllers that also shows how people are ready to step up when they're needed. It tells this story from the pilots and Controllers' viewpoints.
A piece of one of the Twin Towers from New York was sent to Gander as a thank you. I have never been so proud of my fellow Newfoundlanders as I was on September 11th.
As a Canadian, I can say, we have our disputes with the US... auto manufacturing, water rights of rivers that cross, and sometime recross several times, oil pipelines that need to get Canadian oil to the far south of The Gulf, etc, etc. BUT... that's all political.... and yes, our countries differ politically.... BUT..... we don't hold that against the PEOPLE of the US... we are friends, in a way other nations can't fathom... the longest undefended border in the world, for example... but yeah, we obviously help our fellow Canucks in times of need, but also, the same with Americans... we share wildfire forest fighters, on demand as different ares erupt, etc. All my love to my American brothers and sisters... may we forever love one an other.! OH.. so... there are various other versions of this story on the Tube, but, lemme save you a bit of time and take you to the end.... it was made into a Broadway Musical, if you can believe, and, although it has finished its run, if you want to see a unique take on this story, if you, or a friend, has Apple TV+, search and watch "Come From Away"... it's WORTH the watch!✌🏼🇨🇦
"A hero is a person who what he can." -Romain Rolland. These people are the truest definition of the word hero. The first time I cried was when I saw news coverage showing the towers down and the piercing alarms filling the air. I recognized the sound. It was the sound of PASS devices on airpacks. The alarms were screaming because 343 firefighters who wore them stopped moving under the rubble. Believe me guys here in America we felt the love and support of us cousins across the pond and other countries. The scenes of makeshift memorials around the world, including olaces in the UK like Buckingham Palace gave me tears of comfort.
I've been to Gander, and the people there are so wonderful. Thankfully, in my case, it wasn't because of September 11, but 30+ years earlier when the plane I was on had to land for refueling. The group I was with was heading home after 21 days of touring Europe. Forward to September 11, 2001. The images of the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and the field in Shanksville, PA, remain etched in my mind. A day I never will forget. On that day, when the airspace was shut down and planes could not come or go, I looked up to the sky and an eerie feeling came over me. Where I lived, planes would fly low over my home as I didn't live far from the airport and to have the sky empty was like a dream, yet, I knew it happened. My tears still flow for all those lost, and my gratefulness goes out to the people of Gander. For the love and kindness they showed to the 7,000 people that landed there on September 11.
You should watch the full documentary. This was just a snippet. There is so much more that Gander did for the passengers. Like getting a lot of computers and phones set up so everyone could contact family/friends free of charge. There was a make a wish kid and animals in the hold of many of the planes. I highly encourage you to watch.
the wtc opened april 4, 1973. i was 10. every few years i would visit my aunt in manhatten. i even lived there and my subway station had a clear view of the wtc. when someone says go to your happy place or image you're in a forest.... i always go to flying into laguardia, at night, on the left side of the plane bc you see all of the city with the towers proudly standing and keeping watch. for me, there is a hole in in the skyline and i am left with a sense of loss and sadness. for my parents who grew up in nyc it is different. they lived there when there were no towers. the number 1 item on my bucket list is to go to ground zero and pay my respects. perhaps i'll swing by gander to say thank you my friend
Thanks for reacting to this. Had not watched it since it originally aired here in the US. So much of the coverage in the days and weeks following 9-11 blurred together in a haze of emotion.
A beautiful story of humanity. I don't know if you have seen it already, but another little known story of 9/11 is the Boatlift. Another story that shows the best of people. ❤❤
The Wikipedia article about "Operation Yellow Ribbon" has a lot of interesting info. While Gander punched far above its weight, planes were diverted to many other cities, with Halifax and Vancouver taking dozens as well (all Pacific planes except 1 went to YVR). Two planes had communications issues and were assumed to have terrorists on board, one landing in Vancouver and one to Whitehorse.
Did not look into previous comments. Gander did take the majority of planes, but aslo managed to land them in St. John's and Halifax. I think ther may have been one other but I can't remember right now. Gander has always been vital for outgoing and incoming international flights.
I've been to Montreal many times. Nice city but been there, done that. On my bucket list is to visit only 2 other places in Canada - Gander to thank them for all that they did in that dark, dark time and Fredericton for basically doing the same thing in 2003 for my hometown youth hockey team.
Right back at you my American Brother !!! Sent quite a bit of time in the U.S. .....couple of times, small problems, one time not so small young, broke, would have been stranded without kindness of Americans, trusted me to leave owing them $300 repair bill on my truck .... they got paid a week later, but still, they didn't have to do that !! God Bless America !!
Great reaction guys. I can only speak for myself, but i would always help out a USA brother. alot of people make it sound like we hate the USA , thats not true.

Key to the Newfoundland diversion was the Canadian government wasn’t keen on these potential missles continuing westward into Canadian airspace toward the far denser population centers of Ottawa, Montreal, and Toronto. Pilots are normally in charge of where their airplanes land. Every trans-Atlantic flight bound for a US destination was ordered to land in Newfoundland, Labrador, and Nova Scotia.
I remember not long after 9/11 happened I was in the local cinema here in Australia watching the movie A.I. and at the end it showed the towers standing, I think every person in that cinema left in tears and alot of us then thought "my god they are no longer there". The movie now has removed that section with the towers when it went to dvd and bluray. Something that still stays with me.
Your comment about Rudy seeming reasonable there is similar to what I was just telling my dad the other day that I was watching a documentary that had him in it from 9/11 and it’s like he was a completely different guy
Another beautiful story and documentary to watch that doesn’t get a lot of attention is “The Man in the Red Bandana”. If you haven’t seen or heard of it, it’s a good’n. ❤
Hi! Because You Loved This Story And Documentary, There Is Actually Another Part To This Story Here On UA-cam That Very Few People Have Heard About, Know About And Very Few People Have Watched This 46 Minute Documentary Which For Me Is Such An Extraordinary, Magnificent, And Magical Part And Continuation Of This Story That I Think You Would Love And That You Should Watch And React To And Here Is The Name Of The Video “Full Documentary: Gander’s Ripple Effect: How A Small Town’s Kindness Opened On Broadway”!!!!! I Really Hope You Watch It And React To It Because I Truly Think You Will Enjoy It And That It Will Truly Continue To Inspire You!!!!!
Please watch “Come from away”. And a note of trivia…Gander is the only place that has metal from the World Trade Center. That ceremony is so bitter sweet.
*Actually this video is misleading. The fact is this:* Operation Yellow Ribbon (French: Opération ruban jaune) was commenced by Canada to handle the diversion of civilian airline flights in response to the September 11 attacks in 2001 in the United States. Canada's goal was to ensure that potentially destructive air traffic be removed from United States airspace as quickly as possible, and away from potential U.S. targets, and instead place these aircraft on the ground in Canada, at military and civilian airports primarily in the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and British Columbia. Yukon, New Brunswick, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, the Northwest Territories, and Quebec also took in aircraft so that any malicious or destructive potential threats could be better contained and neutralized. None of the aircraft proved to be a threat, and Canada hosted thousands of passengers who were stranded until U.S. airspace was reopened. Canada commenced the operation after the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), implementing Security Control of Air Traffic and Air Navigation Aids (SCATANA), grounded all aircraft across the United States, an unprecedented action. The FAA then worked with Transport Canada to reroute incoming international flights to airports in Canada. During the operation, departing flights-with the exception of police, military, and humanitarian flights-were cancelled, marking the first time that Canadian airspace had been shut down. In total, as a result of Operation Yellow Ribbon, between 225 and 240 aircraft were diverted to 17 different airports across the country.
The U.S. people involved appreciated the efforts of the people of Gander. Too bad, that the GW Bush Administration, hardly recognized any of the Canadian effort and then falsely propagandized, that the terrorists arrived into the U.S. from Canada.
One of the things that always makes me sad about this event too was all the jet fuel dumped into the ocean so those big jumbos could land in Gander. A sad part of the story I've never heard anyone mention other than to say the fuel was dumped. It is minor compared to the humans lost but I'm sure sea life didn't fair well if they surfaced into that fuel.
Another documentary on this event stated that aviation fuel dumped at high enough altitude would literally burn away or dissolve.. so it wouldn't pollute the oceans.
Hi Mark, we have not fallen on our face! Thanks for that lol 😝… the warning is on our list and close to the top, we have had an increase in paid requests and they are our priority and we record our bits in between.. they are coming! :)
Not mentioned in this documentary, is that a woman from the SPCA crawled through the planes, rescuing all the pets that were in cargo, including 2 rare chimpanzees! There were no records for most of the pets. Had she not done this, many would have died.
The 2 chimpanzees had sex and had a baby in which they named Gander!
ooooh..I would love to see that documentary

Wow thanks for sharing! I hadn’t heard about that.
The book written about this, “The Day The World Came To Town” talks about all the animals on board.
I’m an American who grew up on Canadian border and this is how Canadian people are. The most loving open people anywhere
Thank you to the Canadians but Americans do the same kind of thing when there is a catastrophe.

Imagine taking in 7,000 strangers and acting like it is just another Tuesday. What wonderful human beings!
People who are willing to do this, especially without expecting something in return, are exceptionally rare
It's where they landed as well nfld got the most kindest people in the world
We owe them everything
Human nature is inherently kind, loving and giving. Hate is a learned trait. Ordinary people is what makes life beautiful.
Yes. YES! You are the kind of person I need in my world. I have often said on internet forums, that it is not in the human nature to be warring.

And it won a Tony Award.
I was coming to make this exact comment.

Thanks for reacting to this. Had not watched it since it originally aired here in the US. So much of the coverage in the days and weeks following 9-11 blurred together in a haze of emotion.
And this was just the Atlantic arrivals. Similar siutations on the west coast, though Gander would have been the largest single operation involved.

The movie now has removed that section with the towers when it went to dvd and bluray. Something that still stays with me.
Your comment about Rudy seeming reasonable there is similar to what I was just telling my dad the other day that I was watching a documentary that had him in it from 9/11 and it’s like he was a completely different guy
Another beautiful story and documentary to watch that doesn’t get a lot of attention is “The Man in the Red Bandana”. If you haven’t seen or heard of it, it’s a good’n. ❤
You should check out the 9/11 Boat Lift video; it's another little known story from the day.
That’s the next paid request I’m going to do for next month! I planned for it as soon as I requested this
Hi! Because You Loved This Story And Documentary, There Is Actually Another Part To This Story Here On UA-cam That Very Few People Have Heard About, Know About And Very Few People Have Watched This 46 Minute Documentary Which For Me Is Such An Extraordinary, Magnificent, And Magical Part And Continuation Of This Story That I Think You Would Love And That You Should Watch And React To And Here Is The Name Of The Video “Full Documentary: Gander’s Ripple Effect: How A Small Town’s Kindness Opened On Broadway”!!!!! I Really Hope You Watch It And React To It Because I Truly Think You Will Enjoy It And That It Will Truly Continue To Inspire You!!!!!

Please watch “Come from away”. And a note of trivia…Gander is the only place that has metal from the World Trade Center. That ceremony is so bitter sweet.
Gander or Trenton or Mission B, C, I believe that all the people of Canada would have done the same . We are Canadians and this bis who we are
every canadian outside of toronto and half in toronto have sleeping bags lol
Rudy was a great mayor. Crime went way down under him. NY hasn’t been that good since.
*Actually this video is misleading. The fact is this:*
Operation Yellow Ribbon (French: Opération ruban jaune) was commenced by Canada to handle the diversion of civilian airline flights in response to the September 11 attacks in 2001 in the United States. Canada's goal was to ensure that potentially destructive air traffic be removed from United States airspace as quickly as possible, and away from potential U.S. targets, and instead place these aircraft on the ground in Canada, at military and civilian airports primarily in the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and British Columbia. Yukon, New Brunswick, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, the Northwest Territories, and Quebec also took in aircraft so that any malicious or destructive potential threats could be better contained and neutralized. None of the aircraft proved to be a threat, and Canada hosted thousands of passengers who were stranded until U.S. airspace was reopened.
Canada commenced the operation after the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), implementing Security Control of Air Traffic and Air Navigation Aids (SCATANA), grounded all aircraft across the United States, an unprecedented action. The FAA then worked with Transport Canada to reroute incoming international flights to airports in Canada.
During the operation, departing flights-with the exception of police, military, and humanitarian flights-were cancelled, marking the first time that Canadian airspace had been shut down. In total, as a result of Operation Yellow Ribbon, between 225 and 240 aircraft were diverted to 17 different airports across the country.
You should watch Boatlift next. It’s another 9/11 short documentary about the boats rescuing people from manhattan.
That’s the next paid request I’m going to do for next month! I planned for it as soon as I requested this!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Have you reacted to the 9/11 Boatlift? That is another story not well known.
So undescribable.
The U.S. people involved appreciated the efforts of the people of Gander. Too bad, that the GW Bush Administration, hardly recognized any of the Canadian effort and then falsely propagandized, that the terrorists arrived into the U.S. from Canada.
except the terrorists literally crossed our border into the US. Bush was a lot of things. anti Canadian wasnt one of those things.
except the badguys literally crossed our border into the US. Bush was a lot of things. anti Canadian wasnt one of those things.
Rudy used to be very reasonable. We loved him through this terror attack. Not sure about the last decade or so....people change.
Hey guys, sorry to nitpick, but in your banner it reads "Thumbs up if your enjoying this video" but that should be you're.
Have you seen 9/11 As It Happened? You actually see the planes hitting the towers.
If you havent, watch the hostages crisis in iran
That’s your combat unit, just saying.
Someone should show this to TRUMP!
One of the things that always makes me sad about this event too was all the jet fuel dumped into the ocean so those big jumbos could land in Gander. A sad part of the story I've never heard anyone mention other than to say the fuel was dumped. It is minor compared to the humans lost but I'm sure sea life didn't fair well if they surfaced into that fuel.
Another documentary on this event stated that aviation fuel dumped at high enough altitude would literally burn away or dissolve.. so it wouldn't pollute the oceans.
Your channel has fallen on its face,
What happened to
The Warning?
I even put up with you pausing to talk crap..
You have missed out BIG TIME.
Hi Mark, we have not fallen on our face! Thanks for that lol 😝… the warning is on our list and close to the top, we have had an increase in paid requests and they are our priority and we record our bits in between.. they are coming! :)
