Tom Brokaw Presents - Operation Yellow Ribbon
Here is a great story from NBC that aired during the Olympics describing what happened on September 11th when 39 transatlantic flights were redirected to the small town of Gander, Newfoundland.
Really shows how human spirit can triumph through tragedy.

The story is good and one that not many folks were aware of. Similar outpourings of support happened at other Canadian airports, too.
What was unfortunate was the NBC coverage of the Olympics themselves. Complete garbage.

I can't watch the special now, but I look forward to it.
