Airdate: 9 / 11: Control The Skies

SBS special 9 / 11: Control The Skies documents the Canadian town of Gander which was thrust into the spotlight when planes were grounded in 2001.

Fans of the musical Come From Away will want to check this one out.

Gander was once the gateway to North America. Until the 1960s, commercial aircraft had limited range, and stopped in Gander to refuel before continuing to their destinations.

Those days have passed, but despite its population of just 10,000, Gander still maintains a huge airport worthy of a major city. And on September 11, 2001, what begins as an ordinary day turns into a horrific disaster.
