About this listen

When Kevin Tuerff and his partner boarded their flight from France to New York City on September 11, 2001, they had no idea that a few hours later the world - and their lives - would change forever. After US airspace closed following the terrorist attacks, Kevin, who had been experiencing doubts about organized religion, found himself in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, with thousands of other refugees or “come from aways”.

Channel of Peace is a beautiful account of how the people of Gander rallied with boundless acts of generosity and compassion for the “plane people”, renewing Kevin’s spirituality and inspiring him to organize an annual and growing “giving back” day. His story, along with others, has reached thousands of people when it was incorporated into the Broadway musical Come from Away.

In Channel of Peace: Stranded in Gander on 9/11, you will find an unforgettable, uplifting tale of goodwill, the strength of the human spirit and hope.

One traveller’s story of being diverted to Gander, Newfoundland in Canada on 9-11, and how it impacted his life. He is portrayed in Come From Away musical, and has gone on to spread random acts of kindness, and inspired others to do the same. Overall, pretty uplifting.

Only thing that rubbed me the wrong way was when he talked about resuming his trip between France and the USA, he said he ended up in “some other country”. While surprised that he thought he was in Iceland initially, once the Canadian people of Gander had treated him so well, it was off putting to hear him refer to Canada in this way.

For those who do not know the story, Come from Away is based on true events of the stranded airplanes on 9/11 who had to make emergency landings anywhere but the USA. I’m disappointed at the low quality of this book. The story is poorly written and the narrator sounds as though he is just reading the script for the first time. It’s choppy and incredibly awkward to listen to. I desperately want to finish the book because I want to hear the specific details of how the community in Gander welcomed the thousands of strangers into their homes and lives. But sadly, because of the horrible—in my opinion—narration, I don’t know if I will be able to...
