    Default BOATLIFT, An Untold Tale of 9/11 Resilience

    My faith in humanity is restored when I hear stories like this.

    An amazing video of the 9/11 disaster you may not be aware of. "The largest boat rescue in history ever. Bigger than Dunkirk World War II where 350,000 soldiers rescued by boat”.
    This is a very moving video about 9/11 and something I’d never heard of before.

    I had no idea that this took place.
    Far better that this story leaves an indelible mark in my consciousness than the horror.

    What wisdom, courage and compassion. That´s what humanity is all about.

    Thank you so much for sharing.

    Thanks for the cjay, much appreciated.
    This is how we take back our power, by co operating with everyone else.
    This is going into my workshop presentation.
    And may the creator of all bless all of those who gave of themselves to help their brothers and sisters.

    9/11 and the wars that followed are some of the greatest evils of my lifetime.
    It's refreshing to hear stories of spontaneous kindness in the midst of so much chaos and sadness.
    I would like to honour those people who selflessly helped so many strangers in that terrible time of need.
    THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
