What is this musical all about?
***************************************
The real-life story behind “Come From Away” took place during the week of September 11, 2001, in Gander, Newfoundland, Canada, under a massive Canadian aviation emergency initiative known as Operation Yellow Ribbon.
The Diversion
When the U.S. airspace was abruptly closed following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Canada safely grounded incoming transatlantic flights. Because Gander International Airport was historically a major transatlantic refueling stop, it possessed massive runways capable of handling heavy commercial airliners.
A total of 38 wide-body civilian planes carrying 6,579 passengers and crew were forced to land there. Overnight, the unexpected arrivals nearly doubled the population of the small, isolated town of roughly 10,000 residents.
