Come From Away tells the story of the small town of Gander, Newfoundland in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Airspace over the U.S. was closed for 6 days after 9/11, and so thousands of airline passengers on 38 planes were forced to be rerouted to the small Canadian town. The resulting influx of people doubled the town's population overnight, and Come From Away portrays not only the confusion of the passengers, but the local townspeople coming together to support them.
