Gander 9/11 - The Kindess of Strangers
Video of how a tiny village in Newfoundland welcomed the passengers from the aircraft forced to land on 9-11. Canadians already know of Newfoundland hospitality, but this is the story of individuals who received first hand exposure to man looking after their fellow man in distress.

Do you have a source for this statement? I ask, because it is completely contradictory to everything that happened on 9/11, as ATC went to ATC Zero, per FAA JO 1900.47.
Under that, all normal flights are suspended, aircraft in the affected airspace transition to VFR, communicate with ATC/piltos on frequency, then as PIC, decide if they are going to land ASAP or divert to an airport outside of the affected airspace.
Can you provide an example where a flight under charter from the Saudi Government circumvented this order? because what you are suggesting sounds completely preposterous.

Wow.. what a conspiracy theory tangent you are going off of, while totally avoiding the question.
You state and imply that flights on 9/11 were brought down, except for those American aircraft under the charter of the Saudi Government.
that is a very bold and preposterous statement. Back it up. List american flights that were "under the charter of the Saudi Government".
I'll give you even the slightest hint of an answer; it is similar to the answer to your question about if there are any STARs into KWHP: there are *none*.

I'm so very glad that I had the occasion to watch this. Truly an uplifting and powerful story that needs to be told again & again.

Well...to be fair....and accurate...the airspace of the UNITED STATES was NOT closed to American aircraft that were under charter to the Saudi Govt.
The Saudis were correctly concerned that American citizens might get a bit unpleasant when they found out that all but a couple of the murderers of 9-11-01 were Saudi nationals (operating and financed by a Saudi Royal Family charity in Hamburg....) so of course they told their friends running our govt...to let THEIR people have access to US airspace.
