Can somebody tell me why the mayor is so revered for September 11,2001?

It's not for anything he did on that day, but for what he did in the aftermath. He served as a good leader, held the city together and helped it rebuild. This is begrudgingly recognized even by people on the other side.

Anything more specific than that?
