The 9/11 Boatlift

[aglarien]

This is amazing, and something I never saw before. The 9/11 boatlift of nearly 500,000 people in 9 hours off of Manhattan was greater than Dunkirk. It was the largest sea evacuation in history, and we never even heard about it. Commemorate the day and watch this.

I can understand how this event was buried under the incredible devastation and loss, but you'd think the media would have picked it up before now. Whoever is responsible for this video, I'm grateful it was made so we could learn the story.

How is it that I had never heard this before - it's just baffling!
Thank you so much for sharing it.
I showed the kids and Taylor is going to use the idea of it for a research paper.

That's amazing. Thank you for sharing - I had no idea about this!

We still hear about the Dunkirk Spirit here in the UK, and it's wonderful to see it still in existence.

Wow. That was utterly amazing! Thank you for sharing it!

I totally teared up.

I did too. It was a really amazing thing and the rest of the events totally overshadowed it.
