I had no idea this was going on during those early confusing hours on 9-11, please meet a whole new group of heroes. Not only the skippers and crews of the boats, but the people they were evacuating. Shouldn’t this be shown to every Occupier who thinks the “1%” is so evil? Keep a tissue handy 🙂
Tom Hanks narrates the epic story of the 9/11 boatlift that evacuated half a million people from the stricken piers and seawalls of Lower Manhattan. Produced and directed by Eddie Rosenstein. Eyepop Productions, Inc.
