The Untold Story of the 9/11 NYC Boatlift
Americans know how to pull together in a crisis way better than FEMA or any other government agency.
While the towers burned and collapsed on 9/11, a half million people were evacuated from Lower Manhattan by a civilian flotilla of ferries, tug boats and other vessels—the largest boatlift in history.
Watch this amazing video and be reminded of just how we Americans can work together. It’s too bad this nationalistic effect only occurs when we’re up against seemingly overwhelming events.
This is what Americans are capable of when we are able to get the government out of the way.
This same spirit could solve the debt crisis, the housing bubble and all the other government created crises, simply by dealing with them, instead of compounding the problem.
