One very touching video!

I hope you all will take the time to view this.  Quite amazing! 

   

This is an awesome video about evacuating 500,000 people in 9 hours during 9/11.  

 

 9/11 Boatlift with narration by Tom Hanks

 

 

           
I never realized this happened

  Look at this!

Paul, you sure are either lucky or have a guardian angel watching out for you. I'm glad for that.
