William Dudley discussed Dudley’s experience on a diverted flight during the FAA ground stop after the attacks. Dudley said the plane was unable to land in the U.S. and was sent to Saint John’s, Newfoundland, where passengers were kept for six days. He compared the experience to the musical Come From Away, saying it accurately captured what stranded travelers went through.
