9-11 Boat Evacuation in NYC
Check it out. I think it will be the best 11 minutes you spend today.
"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. (Compare that with history’s second-biggest evacuation, of 339,000 soldiers and civilians from Dunkirk, in WWII, which took nine days.)http://www.smartplanet.com/blog/citi...81?tag=nl.e660

Not to trivialize the intent of the video, but did you see the Sub Date at about 09:53?

That's it in a nutshell.
No one had to get on the airwaves to get those people off that island. A bunch of folks with boats looked at the situation and got themselves and their gear to where it was needed most and got the job done. That's patriotism at its finest. Semper Fi!
