How did I not know about Boatlift? (trigger warning: 9/11 post)
How did I not know for 13 years about the 9/11 boatlift? (Youtube link)
I knew about the people walking out over the bridges; a fandom friend's mother got out that way. I knew about the firefighters and doctors and EMTs walking in over the bridges because that was the only way in and they Had. To. Help.
But I did not know about America's Dunkirk, when if it floated, it went to south Manhattan as the towers fell, to get half a million stranded people off the island.
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. This story should have been told a long time ago.
