Phoning Home
1: 15 a.m
Wednesday
September 12th. Crisis counselors are called
To Gander Academy
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
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
An hour later, they set up 20 more phones
An hour after that, there's 75 phones and computers
With internet — all being used 'round
The clock
PASSENGER 5]
Hello? Yes, it's me
Dad, I'm okay
It's okay
I'm calling from Canada
Safe and sound here on the ground
In Iceland
No, Newfoundland
Yeah
We just saw the news
Have you heard yet from Kev?
Or Celena
Call Micah
And Lauren
My parents
My aunt
It's Diane, no I'm fine
Where's David?
Oh, good
