von ‘Come From Away’ Original Broadway Cast

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
