The Day the World Came to Town: 9/11 in Gander, Newfoundland - Jim DeFede

"No sooner had the first planes started to land in Gander than O'Donnell received a phone call from her bosses telling her she had carte blanche to donate everything in the store, if necessary, to the relief effort. ... Money was not to be an issue. ... In fact, if another store had something the passengers needed... then O'Donnell was authorised to go in and buy it for the passengers."

The opening of chapter 12 has just about done me in.
