Come From Away | Meet the Real People 

“On the first day we had seven thousand strangers. On the third day we had seven thousand friends. And on the fifth day seven thousand family members” 🥺🥺🥺

This show should be a mandatory viewing for all school age kids on 9/11

I really love this musical, and I wish more people knew about it. Such an incredible story told in a really touching way!

Our daughter spent 6 months in Newfoundland on a mission for our church in 2012. She will never forget the humble kindness of the people there. She was screeched in and kissed the cod. "You never miss what you give away" . . . words to live by.

One of the many things I have on my bucket list is to go visit Gander. Ever since I’ve heard of the musical, the true story behind it, and how Newfoundland’s culture is incredibly similar to that of Irish culture; my own culture, I’ve wanted to go and see it for myself! The people of Gander are truly amazing people and I hope to meet them one day.

All of Newfoundland is like this, one of the friendliest places on earth

It's been 20 years. Soon, 21 years, since 9/11 happened. After I discovered this beautiful musical. I came very attached. I am attached to that day specifically because that was when I was expected to be born but luckily I came 9 days late. That was a devastating day for the world. I love this documentary! This need to be shown to the world! 🙏 God Bless 🙌

I head Welcome to the Rock at work earlier today. Had no idea what it was about. When Igot home and discovered there was a musical about Gander airport on September 11th, I knew I had to listen to the whole thing. I've spent most the night crying. I always cry when I read about Operation Yellow Ribbon because it's about neighbours looking out for each other in a moment of need, but this musical has been blubbering. It really captures the surreal nature of a beautiful moment in the darkest backdrop.

This story makes me so proud to be Canadian. I tell my Grandsons all the time that they live in the best country in the world!

I'm teary again. The love and strength are just so emotional. I love this play but I love the people more.

What a beautiful story & community!! It's sad that it's taken almost 20 years to learn about this amazing community of Gander!! I hope that more people see & learn about this large part of history and the people that made it happen. I'm now trying to read everything I can about Gander, it's lovely people and the lives that were touched!!

To our family up north ❤️🌎🌎❤️ Thank you ❤️

One of the first things you see driving into Gander on the side of the road is a big orange airplane, beside that airplane is a flight museum; if you’re a tourist driving in, one of the first things you get to experience in that museum is the story of the 2001 landings - it is THE point of pride for Gander. I stayed in a small community in the summers more down the highway between Grand Falls and Gander called Stanhope, and my family would often drive to Gander or Grand Falls to go to the big name stores. The story never changed in Gander, they are and will always be proud of the people they are.

I’m crying because we in the US are farther apart than ever. Those of us who know how it should be are fighting evil every day.

An Incredible story of Humanity at its best ❤

Tomorrow, it'll be the 20th anniversary of 9/11. I was able to rewatch Come From Away today. It was absolutely amazing. I'll be back here tomorrow! Edit: Back! It's 9/11/2021. We won't forget what happened 💛

My favourite musical. I’ve seen it 5 times ❤

On that terrible day, you were so LUCKY to go to the NEWF!

Beautiful!

Only in 🇨🇦

An Hordinary day...... my God I love our Newfies!

Who is thy neighbor? The people of Gander says "everyone". They are right.

Hero’s.

Oh yeah--an Hordinary day!

did they name Oz after the real person?

The people of Gander are inspiring. But the man at 2:33 basically says that small-town people who don't branch out and experience other cultures are narrow-minded, even though the people of Gander were undeniably welcoming. The community wasn't hindered, but was actually strengthened, by small-town life, complete with its warmth, friendliness and kindness. The remark comes across as an out of place lecture.

I can never watch this without crying! God love our Newfies! I have a Newfie heart!

My wonderful Dad joined the Canadian armed forces the day Canada declared war. He was a successful business man, had his own fleet of logging trucks, But his country called. Served in England, France.
