And it wasn't just Gander. I was 30 mins from Boston when the attack took place and we went to Halifax. After 10 hrs on the ground along with 50 other aircraft, the Red Cross mobilised along with the local residents and students of he catering college. We had bedding, food and free phone calls provided. Many passengers were put up for the night in the homes of the good people of Halifax. Now, if we'd had another few nights there I might have had a bit more success with the hostie from Bahrain!
