9-11 Boat Evacuation

Sedona AZ (April 21, 2015) – The following is a letter to the SedonaEye.com editor. The September 11, 2001 evacuation of Manhattan was bigger than Dunkirk. Watch this video narrated by Tom Hanks:

Boat lift  –  outstanding video clip!

We certainly were busy watching the news right after 9/11, but we never saw this……BOAT-LIFT OF 9/11.

You know, in the 14 years since this happened, this is the first time I’ve ever seen this. I don’t even remember seeing/hearing about this evacuation on the news! The fact is, it was all done in  hours 500,000  people!

This is a video well worth watching. The guy at the end (same guy who is at the beginning) has some great words to live by for all of   us.

    Hats off to these unsung heroes. Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your humanity. In a crisis, I want an American bystander.

    Amazing……thanks for posting….

  3. As you know, budget cuts have eliminated the military flyovers at large events. Well, there’s a group of guys in Kansas City who do some formation flying in their own planes, and decided they’d volunteer to pick up the slack.

    They invited a couple of other groups to join them and before they knew it they had 48 guys with their homemade airplanes signing up to join in. If they had more time, they probably would have gotten an even larger group as people kept joining and a 49th was added near the event. One additional feature of the flyover was the use of pink smoke for cancer awareness.

    The folks from the Guinness Book were there and are expected to confirm it as the largest formation flight ever. And to top it off the crowd later set the record for the loudest gathering at a football stadium. Be sure your speakers are turned up… best if watch at ‘full screen’.
