For all of you mariners who answered the call on the morning of 9-11-2001 in New York Harbor, Thank You.

I encourage all to check out the video: Boatlift; the untold tale of 9/11

This is what we did in NY Harbor on 9/11.

Absolutely the best description from the merchant mariner’s heart, of NY Harbor on the worst day ever.
This accurately shows some of what happened on the morning of 9/11.
Narrated by actor Tom Hanks, but really narrated by some of the guys who took part. Absolutely True!

Yes, The people who came down the docks were covered in grey dust and looked like zombies, even the children and babies. It was.. horrific.
Yes, just like ship disasters at sea dramas, it was women and children first, but this was real. A blind guy with a seeing eye dog, the dog sensed danger, didn’t want to make the transfer to the boat, so the NYPD officer picked the dog up, passed him to the boat and the blind guy was next. Babies ..yes, these bastards were trying to kill babies and Mom’s. Big tough guys for Allah! Screw them. May Islamic terrorist burn in hell and anyone who enables them.

Incredible! Was working with a captain yesterday that was there. He was heading northbound coming up on governors island to pull into pier 11 and saw the second plane hit. They spent the next 15 hours evacuating thousands of people. And the next week bringing supplies up to the rescue workers.
