THE GREAT BOAT LIFT

Post by raz »

This is a great video of the escape from lower Manhattan by boat on 911.
Titled THE GREAT BOAT LIFT OF 911, narrated by Tom Hanks.

I'm posting this by the special request of Maddog. Thank you for the great link and Idea to post on LCU Maddog. This is a great documentary.

"In nine hours, boats streaming in from all over the Northeast evacuated 500,000 people trapped on Manhattan Island by the complete shutdown of all trains and bridges in the wake of the fall of the twin towers."
"When the American People need to come together and pull together...THEY WILL DO IT!"


Watch in full screen!

Catch and serve with lemon.

This day is in our memory forever, its warming to see so many good people get together to help others... that's what real humans are... share and help each other. God bless us all.
