When posting just a video link, please post a synopsis and a screencap of the video. Many people do not keep flash installed eaither because their platform does not support it, or because it is the primary malware vector.

When I want to see a video I temporarily install flash.

Awesome video! Thanks so much for bringing it to our attention. It shows that power and the goodness of individuals working toward a common goal and being guided by their hearts, by their love for their fellow man.

To any that were there that day, Thank you! You are heroes!

I knew of this story but not this mini-documentary. Nor did I know that this was the largest water evacuation in history and done on a completely “ad hoc” basis. A very well told story about an IMPRESSIVE volunteer effort! Well worth the 12 minutes to watch a side story of 09/11/01!

Tear Jerker for sure. Just imagine how they would have added to the death toll for that day had these untold heroes not stepped up and did what that one young man said was morrally right. God bless everyone and thank God..with all her problems and worries...the USA is the GREATEST PLACE ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH. We should always and forever fight for our right to live here. Fight for our freedoms and NEVER, EVER FORGET 9-11.
