Tom Brokaw's Story On Gander


(Found this on another site while searching for this video.  A MUST see if you missed it when it aired during the Olympics in Vancouver.)

The is the story of what took place in Gander, Nfld on September 11, 2001.

It was put together by Tom Brokaw and aired on NBC on the second last day of the Olympics. It wasn't shown on the CTV, so I don't know how many people got to see this.

It is a 45 documentary that is some of the finest journalism I have ever seen. Brokaw is able to capture the tremendous goodness of the people of Gander that was shown under the backdrop of the one of the darkest days in mondern times. It is an incredible story.

I wasn't able to find a version of it on NBC's site, but managed to find someone who posted it here:
