This was definitely a story about the better part of human nature. It was heartwarming to read about the Gander locals who went above and beyond in their efforts to help the displaced passengers, and the bonds and friendships that formed between the passengers and between the passengers and locals. About the Hugo Boss CEO who, even though he had access to a private jet that would take him home to Germany, refused the trip in order to stay with his fellow passengers. And it was heartbreaking to read about the couple from Brooklyn who had a son who was an NYC fireman, gone missing after the Twin Towers fell.
This was an easy and very interesting read that also tugged at my heartstrings.
