Great video thread "Boatlift" that only 105 people on DU have seen...

I'm not sure why this video hasn't gotten more attention, but it is less than twelve minutes and well worth those minutes.

Tom Hanks narrates the story of the the huge effort of boat owners, Coast Guard, and marine vessels that rescued half a million people in nine hours on 9/11. That more than the Dunkirk 350,000 over several days at the start of WWII.

Check it out.

1. I watched on tv on 9/11

Remarkable American heroes who don't believe they're heroes.
