3 years ago i flew to Israel, and i got stuck in turkey for 3 days! It was petrifying. Last year i decided to take the risk and travel again to Israel, and this time i got stuck in london. Let’s just wait for moshiach when hopefully the clouds won’t get stuck anywhere.

all planes flying across the atlantic ocean, fly over Canada, because the world isn’t flat (sorry) like a map, so even though on a map the fastest way across looks like just going straight, on the actual globe, you fly “up” in north America, and the “down” when landing in Europe and israel

In the old days before nonstop flights, Goose Bay was a regular stop on the way to Israel. The stop was just for refueling.

President Trump dispatched a plane full of kosher food and warm blankets as soon as the news came in that there is a El Al plane stranded in goose bay, we thank President Trump for this extraordinary Gemiilas chassadim and we wish him and his lovely family all the best . Amen

BS”D Hey Yossie what you doing outside without a jacket

Baruch Hashem, they're all well!

Interesting that on 9/11, planes were diverted to Gander, Newfoundland. Must be something special about Newfoundland and Labrador?
So heartwarming to hear the efforts made there before (during 9/11) and now, to care for the passengers. Yes, this is a fearful and very inconvenient turn of events for the ELAL passengers and crew. But also, It is clear that there are lots of good people in this not-highly-populated region of Canada, who are ready to help temporarily stranded strangers in transit.
Baruch Hashem!!!

I just came from a Birthright group that missed their connection and was stranded in Toronto for two days. When we landed in Israel later that week, there was another group stranded in Toronto over Shabbos. What is it with Canada picking up Israel-America/America-Israel travelers?

BH everyone is safe

Not the first time they had to make emergency landings.
Get rid of all the 747-400’s
