Resilience, 9/11

There is perhaps no greater example of Resilience than this, the Boatlift of Manhattan, September 11, 2001. How to help thousands of helpless people? Hundreds of others with a single vision (and a lot of boats): “I’ve gotta do something to help! I have to do what I have to do…no matter what happens.” 500,000 people saved in less than 9 hours. Everyone helped everyone. This is who we are.
