[Claude]
1: 15 a. M
[All]
Wednesday
[Claude]
September 12th
Crisis counselors are called to Gander Academy
[Beulah]
The Plane People, they’re exhausted
But they don’t want to sleep
And we’re standing there, ready with all that food
But that’s not what they wanted. They wanted phones
[Janice]
1: 45 A.M. six phones are put on tables for the Plane People
To use free of charge lined up alongside
The road by the Newtel Building
[Beulah]
An hour later, they set up twenty more phones
[Claude]
An hour after that, there’s seventy-five phones and computers
With internet, all being used ‘round the clock
[Passenger 5]
Hello? Yes, it's me
[Bob]
Dad, I'm okay
It's okay
[Hannah]
I'm calling from Canada
[Kevin J]
Safe and sound here on the ground
Here in Iceland
[Kevin T]
No, Newfoundland
[Bob]
Yeah
[Company]
We just saw the news
[Hannah]
Have you heard yet from Kev?
[Kevin J]
Or Celena
[Passenger 5]
Call Micah
[Passenger 7]
And Lauren
[Kevin T]
My parents
[Passenger 6]
My aunt!
[Diane]
It's Diane, no I'm fine
Where's David?
Oh, thank God!
