Irish Couple Reacts 9/11: Operation Yellow Ribbon (Gander, Newfoundland)

#911 #Gander #OperationYellowRibbon We were sent this story about Gander, Newfoundland many times, and we finally sat down to watch it. In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, Operation Yellow Ribbon saw 38 planes diverted to a small Canadian town with a population of only 10,000. What followed was one of the most beautiful displays of human kindness we have ever seen. From the school bus drivers ending their strike to help, to the O'Rourke family’s heartbreaking search for their son, this story truly moved us. It’s a powerful reminder of how humanity comes together in the darkest times. Join us as we react to "Operation Yellow Ribbon" and the incredible people of Gander who opened their homes and hearts to 7,000 strangers. #911 #Gander #OperationYellow Ribbon #IrishReaction #Newfoundland #Humanity PATREON -   / unstable_tv   Join our Unstable_TV Family here -    / unstabletv_unstablefamily   CONTACT US IF VIDEO INFRINGES ON YOUR RIGHTS - [email protected] If you would like to help out our channel, or buy us a coffee, check our LINKTREE - https://linktr.ee/Unstable_TV We have a new MERCH store up with some design - https://jcreates-3.creator-spring.com TUBEBUDDY Use our link here for help with your channel - https://www.tubebuddy.com/UnstableTv101 Don't forget to drop a comment below!
