On September 11, 2001, after flights were rerouted to their nearest airports, thirty-eight jets suddenly landed in Gander, stranding some seven thousand passengers for up to five days in a town with only five hundred hotel rooms……Totals. The actual number of diverted aircraft and passengers varies from each source. Transport Canada said over 33,000 passengers on 224 flights arrived in Canada, whereas Nav Canada gave a total of 239 flights.
Omg hahahahahahahah. What’s with the unnecessary hand gestures. Hahahahahahaha. I don’t know what day it is!,,,, omg. Best jokes video
Oh, America. You know so little about us. Not even how to pronounce Newfoundland. Sad.
Better than being dead…. ungrateful human beings.
Passengers taken to "New Finland"……… they were taken to Newfoundland. Ignorant Americans sounding like such 👏
Oh the horror of it all … then the hermaphrodite that "didn't know what day it was anymore" should remain behind for a psych eval and that slob in glasses should be taken in for questioning … how about thanking the crew for a great touchdown … on land
The spin on this report is that the sneering description on Canada and the worst stereotype of Americans. Maybe these ungrateful passengers should watch the story that inspired "Come From Away" and give it a rest. How quickly people forget.
Thoughts and prayers for all the poor souls who had to endure this suffering
WHY CAN'T PEOPLE PRONOUNCE NEWFOUNDLAND
Better be glad he had the insight to divert the plane
Don't let them immigrate in. Give them some syrup and a smile.
You could be in your lair with heat and beer and playstation, but you chose to travel. Zero sympathy.
It's not New Finland. It's NewfoundLAND. And this is actually in Labrador.
Was she describing herself? One big fat mess? LOL!
The worst part of this situation wasn’t being “stranded in Canada”. Would this have been any better if they’d been sitting on a plane in the US? No. The worst part was being stuck on a plane, after flying across the Atlantic, and then being forced to sit on that plane for another 16 hours on the tarmac. Staying in barracks at Goose Bay isn’t like staying at the Hilton, but at least they were able to finally get off that plane and get some rest and use a bathroom that wasn’t a filthy aircraft one. I’m glad these poor passengers are safe, that the plane didn’t crash, and that they’re back home with their families again. What I can’t wrap my head around is why they couldn’t have been allowed to deplane nearly immediately at Goose Bay. The priority needs to be to get people off the plane and into safe, reasonably comfortable surroundings, until the airline figures out what to do next. Anything else is inexcusable.
I'm sorry for the Canadians who had to endure this unfortunate incident.
As if an unexpected 24 hour stopover in Canada is so horrific.
And because Delta airlines.
New Finland? WTF?
At least they can smoke some weed
Its amazing that no one can ever pronounce Newfoundland. Newf Fun Land New Fun Land Newfunland . Newfoundland !!!!
There are worse places to be stranded in. At least they didn't have "military assets" surrounding the plane like the poor folks who had to land in Russia. I guess the barracks there were the only facilities that could accommodate them at the time. Hopefully the rest of their trip was much better.
Lmao
"Newfindland"??? Where is that?😃
I think this was once a Steven King movie or Twilight Zone Episode. Maybe it was Hitchcock presents or Outer Limits. My sympathies to the passengers as there is nothing worse than being stranded in Canada!
What's wrong with goose bay? Newfoundland is a beautiful province. Plus they were going to Detroit which is right next to Windsor. So whats the big deal? Besides Detroit isn't exactly a tourist attraction either! At least in Goose Bay you don't have entire blocks abandoned and filled with squatters.
glad everyone safe!
Meanwhile, the pilots sent out to rescue them are still timed out of flight time and are stranded
I would be grateful to Delta rather than complain.
So DELTA isn't "ready when you are".
Where is Newfinlind? Never heard of it.
Don't tell George Stephanopoulos he'll say AS"OF"YET THERE'S NO PROOF THAT CORONA BEER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE Canadians weather George points at the camera and says AS"OF"YET LIKE IT'S CORONA BEER'S FAULT 🤣 FAKE FAKE FAKE ABC & FAKE@$$ GEORGEE BOY
Trust me you much prefer to be in remotest place on earth but on the ground than in an airplane with a failure…
This is what an emergency decision and emergency landing looks like. Did they expect a tutorial of what the emergency would look like in advance or were they thinking they'd be put in a hotel? Just thank your lucky stars you're alive and you can thank Delta too.
I’ve been stranded in Canada for 61 years … it isn’t so bad. 😁
Is this the plane where they kept the poor passengers on the plane for 20 hours and told them NOTHING?! I’d have hypoglycemia and a panic attack.
I know where Delta can put their apologies……………………….
"The first crew timed out" I'm gonna assume that means something along the lines of they've flown too much for the day already but as a gamer this is funny to me. First plane just disconnected midair.
RE: passengers stranded nearly 24 hours….
From Canada, I am from Newfoundland. Your reporter got the pronunciation wrong. Newfoundland is not pronounced New Fin Land but rather New Fun Land.
Goose Bay is in Labrador — not on the island of Newfoundland. However the correct name of our province is the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador. I am sure the 270 Delta passengers were glad there was a remote airport for them to land on in Goose Bay as opposed to treading water for 24 hours in the icy Atlantic Ocean.
TBH, I'd rather enjoy that little side quest. Canada's a nice place!
"How's about picking me up in oh, let's say a week, then take me back to Amsterdam?"
I would rather be stuck in Canada then dead in the Atlantic Ocean.
Come from Away The Sequel
Dang, couldn't even get Tim Hortons while there.
Newfinland? What a joke of a reporter get him the hell ooutta here if he doesn't even know how to pronounce Newfoundland. Disgrace.
TIMED OUT?!
I WAS BORN IN THE UNITED SATES OF AMERICA, I AM FROM SAN FRANCISCO!!!!!! Capeesh..?..
"New Finland"? 😂
Better than crashing 😂
I don’t even know what day it is quite a reach Canada is beautiful
