I read about this recently, there were around 38 planes diverted there and Gander residents put up several thousand passengers and crew, for about a week.
As a thankyou, the passengers who stayed in Lewisporte started a collection, which evolved into a trust fund for Lewisporte students to go to college.
A wonderful story of good people helping others.
