Thank you Canada for everything you do.
I thank you for reacting to this. It makes me beam with Canadian pride. I have many relatives in Newfoundland and the maritimes and they're the best people on earth 🌎 ❤️ MY heart broke that sad day for our brother country and I'll never forget the impact it had. We weren't sure if it was going to happen here too. The scariest moment of modern times. RIP to all those souls 🙏 ❤
Yes. This should most definitely be a source of pride. It is even more remarkable considering that most of the humanitarian aid here was not carried out by emergency relief agencies, but by common, compassionate citizens!
You should be extremely proud! It makes me tear up every time I watch this video. Most Americans aren’t even aware that this happened because the news focused on the tragic side of 9/11 and the search for survivors
❤🇨🇦❤️ Thanks to our wonderful neighbors and friends.
@Amandaarford83 correct.. it was many years later that I saw a documentary on it.. we were never told.
WE ARE FOREVER GRATEFUL and it's a shame the public at large wasn't made aware.
Thank you beautiful Canada! ❤️
I was one of the “plane people” that day, my flight from Amsterdam to Atlanta was diverted to Halifax. We sat on the runway until 10:30 that night, and were sent to a suburban high school. The hospitality that was shown to us was amazing. I remember at the time thinking it was so surreal, a tragedy was going on back at home and I am the recipient of this wonderful generosity.
As we say here in Nova Scotia, Cead mile failte (kay-od mee-lah foyle-cha) That's Gaelic for "one-hundred thousand welcomes."
I live in Moncton NB, not far away from Halifax. It was the same here, as Gander and Halifax. East Coast Canada hospitality!
I live in Halifax and remember that day well. Halifax took in double the amount of planes but because we were a much bigger city we could handle the influx of people better. The next day was my day off from work so I volunteered that day at my local high school. It was a scary time for everyone but it brings a smile to my face to see so many people come together during such a tragic time to just help people that so needed it! I'm glad you felt our hospitality. 😊
So glad to hear our neighbors to the north took good care of you.
@@johnt8636 Wow! As a 70 year old man of Irish ancestry born, raised and still living in Alberta, I haven't heard that one in the past 100 years. Thank you so much John.
The US and Canada are partners and will always have each other's backs. We love our Canadian neighbors and everything Gander did for all of the US flights that had to be diverted. The small area of Gander and its people helped the US so much when we were in such trouble. We love our northern best friend.
Great video to react to. Not many people know this story. We love Canada!
I’m dual Canadian American my mom is Canada my dad is American and we’re like siblings the odd time we might not agree on something but if something happens both countries will help eachother out in a heartbeat
Watching the closing of US airspace was the scariest part of helplessness that day. Thank you Canada.
Did you ever return to Halifax?
It was so eerie going outside for days afterwards and there being not a single plane in the sky. I live in a rural agricultural area and we usually have crop dusters flying overhead all the time so it was so odd
Once all incoming international flights had landed (either on the East or West coast) Canadian airspace was also closed for several days. I live in BC and the quietness of the skies was very eerie.
Thanks for watching. It makes me so proud to be Canadian 🇨🇦 I hope that more people see this it really is a Canadian thing to be proud of. ✌❤🇨🇦
Certainly is Pat!… amazing!
I didn’t know about this until a year ago and thought it was disgraceful that so many Americans were never aware of this so I’ve recommended it to several reactions channels so more people can learn what our friends and neighbors to the north did to come to our country’s aid!
@@Amandaarford83That's great, I hope more Americans do learn about this. I will say your president at the time George Bush gave us Canadians a big slap in the face when he addressed Congress nine days later, in his speech he thanked all the nations for coming to their aid and he named off a bunch of countries, but Canada wasn't even mentioned. One of the presidents speech writers after the fact after he left the administration said basically we forgot about Canada and so did Bush. I mean Iran and El Salvador were thanked. So that was a huge slap in the face.
@julesb1970 yeah unfortunately that does not surprise me! We normal, non politician Americans know y’all always have our backs and we appreciate you!
@@julesb1970 Bush sucked (though compared to Trump he seems like a genius)
The sad part of this documentary is 1) they don't mention the 4th plane that the passengers took matters in their own hands and forced the plane to crash land in a field in Pennsylvania (supposedly on its way to crash into the White House in Washington DC) heroes that knew they were going to die, but managed to take over from the hijackers ... 2) they don't mention the Veterinarians that took care of all the animals also travelling in the luggage compartment. They took all the animals and brought them all to shelters to feed them and ensure they were medically OK, until it was time to leave. All at no cost. Also, many Canadians went down to New York to help with the rescue, some with canine (who had to wear special booties to protect their paws from the heat and ash) and of course, firemen, police officers, search and rescue personnel, medical personnel, etc.
This story was turned into a Tony Award winning musical called " Com From Away."
if it wasn't a musical I might watch it.
“Come from away’”. There are no strangers, just friends who haven’t yet met” Gander is such a great community!! Proud to be a Canadian.
This is such a great story.
I’ve seen it countless times and it never gets old !
Not much about Canada makes me proud anymore but this still does.
As a dual citizen Canadian and American both countries in a heart beat would do whatever they have to do to help each other out Canada America are basically sibling countries they don’t always get along but most of the time they do and they always have each others back
This was shown during the 2010 winter Olympics. A later documentary "You Are Here, A Come From Away Story ", tells much the same stories, but includes how the "Come From Away" musical was created.
I find the come from away documentary a lot better than this yellow ribbon documentary. It just really goes more in depth as the yellow ribbon one leaves out a lot I find. But it's still good.
I was working in the main Nav Canada facility in Ottawa on 9/11. We had a continent-covering radar screen and I watched the skies clear - it was WAY less than 2 hours before everyone was landed.
What this vid did not mention was that the US and Canadian Aid Forces were mobilized and a message went out to every plane to proceed DIRECTLY to the nearest airport big enough to handle their aircraft, and land... if they did not, they might get shot down. It was scary times...
No nation is perfect, but none is closer to perfection than Canada. The Canadians gave refuge to runaway slaves. they welcomed Americans who would not go against their consience to fight in Vietnam, and at the end of that war they took in Vietnamese boat people who fled persecution---and of course, there was 9-11. In WWII It was the largest seaborne invasion ever attempted in history. More than 14,000 Canadian soldiers landed or parachuted into France on D-Day. The Royal Canadian Navy contributed 80 vessels, while the RCAF contributed 18 squadrons in direct support of the assault. [An opinion expressed by an ordinary American.]
As an old (74) Canadian with an American granddaughter-in-law, cousins, and very close friends, I can say that if you took the best of American life and the best of Canadian life, you'd wind up with an unbeatable combination that the world would envy.
Great video… I’ve seen this video before and every time it makes me get chills and I’m so happy that we have Canada as our neighbor….
As many as 240 planes were diverted into Canada that day, 17 different airports were used, Halifax took the most of the Atlantic planes - 47. On the Pacific coast planes were diverted too, Vancouver took the largest number of passengers, with other flights being diverted further into Canada.
I lived, for a while, on the east coast. The people, in general, are so amazing. I think it's very deeply rooted in the seafaring culture. There are chilling tales of people walking out of the fog, from wrecks along the coastline. I have seen this before, but I never get tired of it. I am still amazed at the scale of what the people of Gander were able and willing to do. I'm so proud of the people of Gander! It was really interesting to hear the perspective from the UK. I'm in Ontario, so upper NY state is only 45 mins from me. I remember vividly being glued to the TV. It actually took my breath away to see the horrific events of that day. I wrote an article for a magazine, a few months later, talking to a chaplain from the Salvation Army who went to help in the big tent they set up for workers, after 911. Everything people working on site needed, they could get. Food, clothing, you name it. He stayed about three months, and had a terrible time leaving the community that grew within and around the tent. Thanks BP1 and BP2. I enjoyed that!
First time seeing this. Makes me want to live in Gander.
Another thing Canada did for us is that within hours their firefighters headed to New York to help in the recovery efforts
This showing what our friends and neighbors supporting our country gives me chills and makes me so proud. One thing I loved about the UK supporting the US was when the queen broke tradition and played the star spangled banner at Buckingham palace which broke a Centuries old tradition. It make me cry every time I see the video of it! It seems like a small thing but that was the first show of support then the UK and Canadian armed forces joined us in the war on terror. We love thefrienship between us and fhe UK Canada. 🇬🇧🇨🇦🇺🇸
I was on an American Airlines flight from the west coast to the east coast when I noticed the plane was banking. The pilot's voice Informed us that we had been ordered to land as soon as an airport could be found. He said there was no problem with our plane. The instructions were from air traffic control. We set down in what turned out to be Little Rock, Arkansas on what looked like a parking lot for jets. It was an incredible sight. The planes were stacked as close as they could put them. By now rumours were circulating. I used one of the phones on the seats in front of me (cell phones were not ubiquitous then) to call my dad. As I was talking to him, he was watching the news on tv and said, the trade tower is gone. I couldn't comprehend what he meant. They wouldn't let us off the plane for quite a while. Once off, I began looking for a way out of the airport area. All the hotel bus drivers were shaking their heads, no. I eventually found a shuttle to Memphis, Tennessee and then a bus heading to Kentucky. I got home a day and a half late. I eventually saw a documentary on how they got all the planes grounded. Its amazing. I also saw this story about Gander.
Excellent suggestion Amanda. The citizens of Gander really stepped up. And just getting all those aircraft coordinated in flight and safely on the ground is nothing short of a miracle. I was living in NY that time working for GE. I had just dropped my mother in law off at the airport in Albany a couple of hours prior to the event. Fortunately, she made it to her destination before her plane was grounded. I would like to say we learned from this experience, but current events prove we've learned little or nothing about preserving our national security. Nice to have this video as a reminder that it only took 19 people to carry out this attack. Fantastic review guys. Thanks. - Hawk
It’s so sad to me that most Americans don’t know about this story. I didn’t know about it until last year. It’s nice to have that reminder that no matter what happens there are good people out there.
I lived in Madison, Wisconsin, USA when 9/11 happened. I lived just down the road and directly in a flight path to our small, Regional Airport! It was so eerie to see all the airplanes just parked all over the runways, near the gates and along the fences (we maybe had 10 or so official gates at the time,) and not have the routine drone of a plane flying directly over our house. For the first time, I could converse on the phone without closing windows or going to the basement! I didn’t work for several days following because I worked in Plasma collection and folks switched to donating whole blood, which meant they had to wait at least 6 weeks to donate plasma.
The owner of the company I was working for in South Flordia was on his way back from Paris and ended up in that town I think it was 3 days before they could leave. A family took him and a few others in and he was so grateful. So many nice people in the world and what a shame all we ever hear is about the bad ones.
The brothers that were shooting the documentary about the fire station in New York are French Canadian. They were separated in the chaos and it was hours before they knew that each had survived.
I am correcting myself. French Americans….born in Paris but became American citizens prior to 911.
Oh…as a Yank, when I learned about this (no one knew until this aired), my heart melted.
What an incredible story that more Americans should be aware of, to give more love to our Canadian neighbors.
We didn't have as many people in moncton, but still quite a few, i took 3 days off school in grade 11 to help sort shelter and food for the passengers that did end up here. I slept for an entire day after that. I don't regret it at all, i met some fantastic people over those three days.
On September 11th, Paul McCartney was aboard a flight at JFK airport about to takeoff for home in England when the attacks happened. Everyone had to exit the aircraft and go home. No flights today.
Watch the film "United 93", about the FOURTH hijacked airliner that day and the passengers that stormed the hijackers in the cockpit.
Excellent movie.
It's one of those where were you when it happened moments. I was on the Main Street Bridge over the St Johns River in North East Florida waiting. Late for work due to dental appointment. Bridge was up for a beautiful sailboat. Heard about the 1st plane on the radio. Called my boss to tell her I could see her office from the bridge she told me about the 2nd plane. City core shut down a few hours later and we all went home. Jacksonville is home to 2 Naval bases & 90 miles south of a nuclear subbase in Georgia. We had bomb scares for the next few months in multiple buildings. People can be trolls. I also remember where I was when Kennedy got assassinated. In 2nd grade (6.5 years old) on a Navy Base in Rhode Island USA. All I remember is they shut down the school & locked down the base real fast & we had to go to our rooms & stay there. Still April & 91 degrees with full humidity today. OMG HELP!!
I remember seeing 9/11 on the tv in canada while eating my breakfast and even then as a small child i knew canada would open our doors wide open to help anyone who needed it and a place of safety people could run to. It is the same now with the war on ukraine we have open our homes and hearts to help
This Michigander would have just started walking to Windsor just point me the way to go home. Home is just across the river I can see it from Windsor. I don't need to fly or even want to. The fact is I probably would have never wanted to look at another plane just walking and feeling the ground under My feet would have felt like heaven along with breathing that same beautiful air.
The "queues" you mentioned are actually the Atlantic flight lanes. If you look at a flight tracker program at the right time of day, you will see there are many streams of planes heading one way or the other. If you watch the whole sequence, as evening comes in North America, flights from all across the States and Canada take off and start to head towards Newfoundland. As they arrive there, they are given a slot in one of the lanes. There are generally a few mies between planes on the same lines, and further lanes will be flown a few thousand feet above or below and a couple of miles to either side. It's actually a truly remarkable thing to watch. The purpose is to get as many fights into the sky as possible, and having them arrive across the UK and Europe as the airports begin to open in the mornings. - these planes are then refuelled, reloaded and are for the most part headed back to North America, they typically start leaving Europe after lunchtime in the UK and will land in North America at around the "same time" that they left - and eight hour flight West means you down across about 8 time zones. Once again the planes are flipped and ready to do it all over again

Incredible, I remember that dreadful day vividly.
Have you ever reacted to 9/11 boat lift? It will make you tear up, it did me. Thanks to these kind people for taking care of my fellow American citizens. Y'all rock!
The US has always been extremely fortunate, and strengthened by the fact that we have a great neighbor on our northern border. Some countries are not so lucky. Canada feels like a brother that I can tease, but no else can. I have close friends in the US who are from Canada. Every time they return, they buy me a shot glass. :)
What this doesn’t mention is how all the pets on these planes were also taken care of by veterinarians.
This is a great story. There was also an impromptu boat lift off of Manhattan on 9/11 as well (it was larger than Dunkirk), thats worth checking out also.
I was working at a hotel near the airport that i currently work at. And lets just say i was very for about 3 or 4 days making food for stranded passengers In Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Once i saw the news that day, i knew it was gonna be busy.
LOL... gentlemen, please forgive me for not yet even learning your names, but I only found you just now. But at the 5:20 mark I saw the fellow on the right (from my view) tilt his head, and I knew exactly what he was doing. He was tuning his ear, dialing in for "the accent". And it thrilled me to no end to hear that he, along with every other British person I have ever met, correctly identifying an accent, in this case Claud Elliot's accent as being Irish. Nobody else can do that as well as the English and Scots. I always get a kick out of that, but perhaps even more importantly, I appreciate that you people (English, Welsh and Scots) have had that talent for at least the past 30 million years... when very few others on earth can even do it at all these days. Honestly, that gave me such a thrill. I don't know why I always appreciate that talent, but I just do. Thank you for that.
As a very healthy 75 year old Canadian of Irish ancestry (and extremely good health) have never yet had the opportunity to visit any of your countries to enjoy hearing your own accents in person. I expect to be here on earth for at least 30 more years, so I hope to enjoy that great experience some day. I find you two guys to be really cool, and respectful. I love that! My own genealogy studies have shown that the blood that flows through my veins is 98% Irish, most likely from the SW, perhaps the Cork area. I don't know how you gentlemen would recieve that news but I do know that if my uncles from Cork were still here with us, they would say "who fvckin' cares?" 😂 I really like you guys.
Lotsa love from Danny Murphy (using my mom's surname) in Alberta.
God Bless our Canadian brothers and sisters! You have always had our backs and we have never forgotten it. you will always be in our prayers and we will always stand by your side.
i got home after driving my wife to cfb trenton and watched it on the news live and got a call from her saying she was is lockdown and didn't know when she would be home SCARY DAY!
There were also animals on these flights that were cared for too.
Wow! I have never heard of this either! How is that possible???
Yes.
The documentary you referred to was produced by two Frenchmen, I think brothers.
Probably the best documentary about the day out there, minute by minute, with incredible footage.
i've seen this before and it's like the first time. clearing the airspace in the time they did was awe inspiring. everyone was so focused on what was happening on the ground i'd never given planes flying a second thought. the first documentary i saw regarding 9/11 was on clearing the airspace, ut i don;t recall if it was this documentary. i only remember being so impressed. just like the boat lift, when the world needs to stand as one i never doubty that we will.thank you for the request
Nice choice Amanda.
The people of Gander did not get the recognition that they deserved.
The fortitude to say we will what we need to do to help these people regardless of the hardship it puts on us.
They made humanity and Canada proud. Hats off to my Northern neighbors.
The documentary you're speaking of BP2 is called 9/11 Documentary for anyone who wants to check it out.
Two brothers who are French. Jules and Gedeon Naudet were filming a documentary about how probationary firefighters train in their first year with the department.
They caught the first plane going onto the North tower. They continued filming as long as they could.
It is unedited except for images of people falling from the twin towers and landing on the ground and people streaming out of the buildings on fire and horrific injuries.
I applaud them for not showing that.
This is but one example though of people in so many countries that rose to the occasion to help people on flights who couldn't retuen home to the US, most of them Americans.
Those images from around the world reminded us of how small the world is and how many friends we Americans have out there.
firefighterchick, right. That was a very good documentary. The guys were disappointed because they had hoped for a biggish event and all that had happened in a week were things like garbage can fires and car fires. Well, that was to change.
What amazes me is how many will tell you that they saw the first building hit. Really? The only way that could have happened is if they had been in NYC at that moment.
@@glorm or in parts of New Jersey if they were in a high rise.
You help people for recognition or because it's the right thing to do? We're in such an ego-centric, me-me-me society in the 21st century. It's sad.
Once airspace was closed in the USA, all planes had to land somewhere ASAP, not at their destination. All air traffic controllers had their hands full that day as tons of planes had to be diverted to the closest airport. They were all told to land ASAP and I consider that to be a major task for all air traffic controllers.
I believe this was shown twice in the USA during the 2010 winter Olympics in Vancouver, in England?
Thankyou Gander.😌
I am a native New Yorker who was living overseas on 9/11/01. I also lost a family member in the World Trade Center when the first tower collapsed. I was unable to contact anyone in NY for hours. Then I got a call stating my family lost someone. I could not return home until over a week later due to the closure of US airspace.
I'm so sorry, that must have been a horrible time for you. I'm also a native NYer who was in Harlem when the Towers were hit and even from that close by I felt virtually powerless.
@@gigi-ij1hk Thank you.
Canada, our cousins to the north.
react to 9/11 Cleared For Chaos....it's from the perspective of the gander air traffic controllers
I remember that day very well, if the planes didn"t land they would be shot down, I think it closed for 3 days!
It was the right thing to do.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I thought you'd like to know, your title is incorrect. It was not called, Operation Yellow Tree. It was called, Operation Yellow Ribbon.
🇺🇲🇬🇧🇨🇦
There was a great musical about this called “Come From Away” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_from_Away it is sad that so many outside of Canada know this story, but every single person in Canada does.
I wax driving to a friends house in DC n could feel the earth move like an earthquake n smoke rising into the sky over the Pentagon n traffic stopped n didnt know what to do. Many people came out of their cars telling all to turn their radios on. Not many stations mentioned the 4th plane flight 93 that crashed in a field in Shanksville, PA. The passenger's knew about the other planes that crashed n the hijackers on their flight ordered everyone to stay seated. Several men called home to tell their families goodbye. Then they said lets go n attacked the hijackers as they knew they will be next. These people were True Heroes. The government believed flight 93 was headed to either the Capital or the White House. They brought down their plane in a field in PA. My cousin lived near that town n had just heard about NYC n Pentagon n felt the crash n smoke. They put up a Monument in that field.Yes dont forget all the animals on board the planes that landed n were cared for by Vet hospitals feeding. Gander is our close northern neighbors that would help us on a mins notice. And our cousins across the Pond ( our close allies ) would also come to our aid. ❤❤❤❤
There's a special place in Heaven for people of this generosity, kindness and love. Shortly after 9/11 I heard about Gander and what wonderful people took care of 100's of Americans and many from other countries like England, etc.. (I also have to admit how proud I am to be an Ohio State Buckeye and that a Buckeye set up such a wonderful scholarship fund that still helps to this day!!) THANK YOU GANDER AND THANK YOU CANADA OUR SISTER COUNTRY ABOVE!!! WE LOVE YOU!
WE WILL NEVER FORGET - 9/11 ❤🤍💙 ❤🤍
