re: #850 McSpiff

Not random at all actually. Spare was talking about a Canadian response to 9/11, reminded me of my own experience.

Probably the best Canadian 9-11 response I know of was Gander International Airport. 39 heavy aircraft landed there after the US closed its airspace. The airport has 2 runways; they used one of them as a parking lot.

I’ve been in Gander; despite being an International airport, it’s small. Most of the planes landing there are making a refueling stop. But somehow they got all of those people fed and housed.
