Been a really busy couple of months, so I've just had a chance to finish editing a ride I did this past Sept. 11. It was to escort a piece of the World Trade Center to Gander, Newfoundland where over 7,000 airline passengers got stranded on 9/11/01. Most of us (I think), on ST1300s don't do a lot of group rides. I avoid them like the plague but this seemed like a good time to be a little part of history. Footage is from Corner Brook to Gander, Newfoundland....
I've got another 60+hours from this summer still to edit lol... so, expect to be Newfoundlanded out by January.

Like everyone else who was alive that terrible, awful day, I'll never forget. Thank you for sharing in the remembrance, and for sharing your journey.

Indeed Andrew - well said.

I worked in the oil industry in west Africa in the early 80's and one very sage crewman once said to me that every time there is some natural or man-made catastrophe, it's always the US, Canada and the U.K. who arrive first with food and medical stuff. I'm not sure that is always true, but I think we can be proud of our collective collaboration.
