On Sept. 11, 2001, 19 terrorists hijacked four planes, crashing them into U.S. targets. Nearly 3,000 people died in those attacks while hundreds of flights were forced to land abruptly in unexpected locations, like Gander, Nfld. But amid the tragedy there are also stories of kindness that still live on 25 years later. The Pay It Forward charity, started by one survivor, aims to spread the generosity he experienced in Newfoundland. #911 #September11 #Gander #sept11 #newfoundland #payitforward »»» Subscribe to CBC News to watch more videos: http://bit.ly/1RreYWS For breaking news, video, audio and in-depth coverage: https://www.cbc.ca/news Follow CBC News on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cbcnews Subscribe to CBC News on Snapchat: https://bit.ly/3leaWsr Subscribe to CBC News on WhatsApp: https://www.whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb6MSjH9Bb63S9tbQa1Y Download the CBC News app for iOS: http://apple.co/25mpsUz Download the CBC News app for Android: http://bit.ly/1XxuozZ »»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»
