Beverley Bass, the first female captain appointed by American Airlines, shares her unforgettable experience on September 11, 2001, while flying over the North Atlantic. She recounts how her flight was diverted to the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, which suddenly doubled its population. The kindness of Gander's residents shone brightly as they provided food, shelter, and entertainment to nearly 7,000 stranded passengers without asking for anything in return. Beverley highlights the extraordinary humanity that emerged during this time of crisis and the lasting impact of these acts of generosity.
