[00:00.34]We can see them from the plane
[00:02.12]This long line of headlights coming through the darkness
[00:05.57]Off of the airplane
[00:06.82]Ladies and gentlemen you can take only your carry on items
[00:09.68]Any checked luggage will remain in the hold
[00:11.60]Into the airport
[00:13.05]The captain and flight attendants tell everyone
[00:14.76]To take the blankets and pillows off the plane
[00:17.17]Out of the windows
[00:18.82]We grab bottles of water too
[00:20.35]No one has any idea where they're taking us
[00:22.91]Darkness and trees
[00:25.98]As we enter the airport
[00:27.27]All those car lights are still aimed at us
[00:29.65]We're scared they're probably scared too
[00:32.27]The people here don't know what to expect off of these planes
[00:34.67]The airport looks like something left over from the cold war
[00:37.56]Kevin is like
[00:38.23]Oh my God we've gone back in time
[00:40.36]The whole procedure
[00:41.27]The soldiers and all the formality
[00:43.24]It just makes me really nervous
[00:46.16]There's a giant map on the wall of the airport
[00:48.73]And someone has written in red marker
[00:51.25]You are here
[00:52.41]Excuse me I need to find a phone
[00:54.48]I need to call my son
[00:55.69]I'm sorry the pay phones are out of order
[00:57.93]They're all lined up at the airport pay phones
[01:00.23]So eventually we put an out of order
[01:03.07]Sign on them just so we can get people on the busses
[01:06.47]1148 pm busses and drivers are now
[01:09.68]Taking passengers to shelters
[01:11.37]Not just in gander but also to gambo
[01:13.71]Appleton and farther communities of lewisporte
[01:16.58]Norris arm and glenwood
[01:18.18]Our bus sits there forever
[01:19.56]While all the others leave
[01:20.74]Finally this other passenger gets on
[01:23.24]This guy from the middle east
[01:25.08]Someone says he got questioned
[01:26.70]Someone says he got searched
[01:28.17]And now he's on our bus
[01:30.35]I try to interview the red 'cross
[01:32.58]The salvation army
[01:33.88]But they've got more important things
[01:35.55]To do than talk to me
[01:37.42]That's when I see them
[01:38.88]The plane people through the bus windows
[01:41.09]The terror on their faces
[01:43.19]They have no idea where they're going
[01:45.29]They take me and my crew in a separate van
[01:47.18]And I'm looking out the window
[01:48.06]Tryin' to see where we are
[01:49.21]But it is pitch dark
[01:51.04]Now I have flown over this area hundreds
[01:53.06]And hundreds of times and it is just darkness
[01:56.53]Hardly any lights anywhere
[01:58.35]And now here I am
[02:00.10]Oh my God this is just so remote
[02:04.02]Into the darkness
[02:05.46]Stars and the moonlight
[02:06.82]But all around us
[02:08.23]Nothing but darkness
[02:09.62]Out of the windows
[02:11.06]Into the darkness
[02:12.56]Darkness and trees
[02:20.16]Every school bus we got is goin' back
[02:22.79]And forth all night
[02:24.52]Out to the salvation army camp
[02:26.59]We've delivered passengers from Germany
[02:29.21]England and France
[02:31.56]And around three in the morning
[02:33.30]My bus is designated to take all these
[02:36.35]African people out there
[02:38.79]Into the darkness
[02:39.79]My family and I try to see out the bus windows
[02:43.37]No one tells us where we are going
[02:46.97]Silence comes on the bus
[02:49.22]We get outside of gander
[02:50.93]And you could hear a pin drop
[02:52.56]My wife and daughter are scared
[02:54.80]They ask me what is happening and I do not know
[02:58.43]Behind me this big man comes up to me
[03:01.83]And he says in this low voice
[03:04.25]Wewe watuchukuwa wapi
[03:06.77]What's that now
