I have been following the vast number of flights that were diverted to Canada when US airspace was closed yesterday. The scale of the undertaking was massive, but people just got down to it and took care of the thousands of crew and pax at these locations.
To understand the scale of this, check this page out;

Good story about what was going on at Vancouver here.

Some of these communities were inundated with almost half as many sudden visitors, as their permanent population!
This is what being neighbours is all about.
Thanks Canada....
