Unless gay-jesus-probably is from Gander or something I don't know what to say.

Why specifically a small village in Newfoundland? Or are you talking about somewhere else?

Gander became famous on 9/11 because of the sheer number of flights it took in once we closed our airspace. People were like, taking airline passengers into their homes for dinner and shit. I know we're all irony-pilled around here but Gander genuinely made the world a better place in a time that looked pretty bleak for a lot of people.

There's a pretty popular stageplay or show about it, it's called Come From Away, haven't seen it myself but it's pretty big for smalltime Newfoundland

It was weird being a child growing up there when 9/11 happened, I recall hearing about the plane hitting a building and in my youthful naivety thought it was a local accident and some poor sucker in a cessna got real unlucky til I got home and was enlightened.
