I'm sure my pilot uncle, David Scott, knows the story of Gander, Newfoundland, and how it also became a "hero of 9/11." But if you don't know the story, Google it! Gander International Airport played an integral role in world aviation in the hours immediately following the September 11, 2001, attacks when all of North America's airspace was closed by the Transport Canada and the FAA.
Again, today, this story makes headlines with this announcement: "A piece of steel from the WTC—a complex of buildings that collapsed after two jets crashed into its iconic twin towers—will be donated to the people of Gander thanks to a fire station on Long Island, New York."
