What I find funny is that after the earthquake in Haiti the American Military treated Canadians very unfairly at the Port au Prince airport. 2 days after the earthquake, the American military were finding people to carry back on their planes. A couple of Canadians approached them and passed them their Canadian Passport, the soldier looked at them, rejected them, would not help them, would not give no direction to where they could find Canadian Military planes, they were treated as if they were nothing. After the Canadians found their Canadian Military planes their flight had to stop in Miami, Florida first before continuing on to Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The broken down, traumatized people, cut and bruised that were after left out in rubble with no food or water, in horrid conditions for 2 days got off the plane in Miami and were all put into a room for a couple of hours, with no food, no water, no phone to call loved ones to let them know they were o.k, there was nothing. If the little town of Gander, Newfoundland could gather together food, shelter, clothing for a population double their own size in such short notice, it should not of been too difficult for a city the size of Miami to put a few bottles of water in a room for these hurting passengers that just witnessed such terror. Its not even like they did not know these people were arriving! It was breaking news on every channel about the survivors making their way back home. I was very disappointed when I heard about this. Newfoundland was so warm, caring, welcoming strangers with opened arms but once Canadians landed on US soil in turmoil, they were treated like cattle. You would have never seen that happen in Canada!! We are very different us neighbours.

There are great people in their military, however this is a massive and powerful organization. I am not saying the above is right but as a Canadian and Newfoundlander, some of the nicest people I have met are American. I do agree though it the situation you described above would happen on one square inch of Canadian soil.

Seems I'm a day late to view this as it says “videos no longer exist”. :(
I checked torontoguys and Vimeo sites. Nothing :([Reply]

March 17th, 2010 at 4:03 pmThat is unfortunate as I really lucked out finding that and pointing it to the torontoguys via vimeo. You may want to contact MSNBC like others or periodically try HULU in the US (or outside if you know the IP tricks like HotShield, etc). Good luck as this is truly an amazing story (just happens to have my hometown involved). I would still be amazed maybe even in more awe, however this is not even second nature for Newfoundlanders.

September 6th, 2011 at 6:57 amThank you so much for maintaining this link.
I am a Brit that was staying in the LA Basin on 9/11 but being an aviation nut was aware of the diversions to Gander. Like most I was not aware of what it meant in human terms as this was swallowed by the American Media with everything else.I agree with others Tom Brokaw deserves much credit for this program as he looked outside the USA boundries for a story on that evil day and immediately afterwards.
I bet the inhabitants of Gander slept well for several days after the last plane left.
Again so many thanks for maintaining this link I have sent it to several worldwide groups that I belong to as I think it important that yet again the people of Gander do not get buried by all ther American only reporting that again will happen in a few days time.[Reply]

What an uplifting storey. I have heard many stories of this type throughout Canada during this horrific crisis. It makes me glad to see Tom Brokaw recognized the tremendous kindness of these selfless people and made their storey known.
Too bad President Bush didn't after the crises when he thanked almost every country in the free world BUT Canada.

I can’t thank you enough for posting this excellent story presented by Tom Brokaw. I had tried to find it online when it first aired but had no luck. This is a keeper that I plan to share with my friends and relatives every Sept. 11. There are so many good good people in this world, so it is uplifting to see them recognized in the media. We all know how much press the “bad guys” get!!

As a Newfoundlander, this story never fails to make me swell with pride, even if I was only 11 years old on September 11th and lived 5 hours away from Gander. I know that my province will always represent the best in people, wherever I go. I can only hope to carry on that spirit as I continue to grow up.
Thank you SO much for linking this video here, I’ve been looking for it for ages since it aired during the Olympics. I hope everyone enjoys the story, for the hope it brings through the sorrow.

Thanks for your comment. Check out the Lanier Phillip story on my blog. That is equally impressive.
