Yes I remember when the locals up in Gander opened their homes to total strangers. There are good people in this world! I saw the show on TV a few years ago.
What a horrible day that was. I think everyone can remember what they were doing when the first plane hit. I just finished dropping my 2 boys at school and then I was on my way to school as well, and heard it on the radio. Originally they thought that it was just a small plane. When I got to class the professor said the South Tower just came down and that classes were cancelled. We were all in total shock. I drove home with tears in my eyes, I could barely see the road. What made it really eerie was that there was barely any traffic when I was going home which is totally unusual for that time of day. When I got home I ran over to the school to get my older son and my friend picked up my younger son. My husband couldn't get home until the next day as he worked in NJ and all the bridges, tunnels and trains stopped running. He saw the towers come down from his office. He was an OTC stock trader at the time and had to stay over at a co-workers house that night. My husband lost a few collogues who worked for Cantor Fitzgerald in the North Tower I believe it was and I lost someone who I used to work with who was also in the North Tower. It was a beautiful sunny day that day in NYC, just like it is today. I day we will never ever forget!
