Video documenting American courage and survival--amazing boatlift rescue on 9/11

09-23-2011, 11:22 AM

A video, narrated by Tom Hanks, was just released. I am including the link so you can watch the entire 11 minute video. I had never heard about the incredible rescue, by boat, of 500,000 people after the attack in New York on 9/11.

I wish this remarkable rescue had been reported at the time it happened. Witnessing the strength and goodness of everyday Americans made me cry with pride. God Bless America!

Ten years later, and I never heard of this; amazing.

Very moving. I'm surprised I hadn't heard about this before now.
