Joan Marie Aylward, the lieutenant governor of Newfoundland and Labrador, on Friday spoke about how the town of Gander and surrounding Canadian communities took in nearly 7,000 stranded airline passengers and crew from 38 diverted international flights on Sept. 11, 2001. "Within a span of a few hours, the population almost doubled," she said at a 25th anniversary remembrance ceremony. "You opened your hearts to the thousands of people who arrived as frightened strangers, but departed days later, many as loved friends and family of the heart." #gander #canada #911 #cspan
