Description
Canada's former transport minister David Collenette remembers 9/11, the immediate aftermath, the decision to close Canadian airspace, how he managed the 500 flights carrying 75,000 people that were headed to Canada at that moment, the bomb threats called into Canadian airports, and the story of Gander, Newfoundland.
He and Steve also discuss concerns about a possible attack in Canada, working with his American counterparts, and our relationship with the United States then versus now.
