The video below impressed me not only by the actions of civilian boaters but especially by the numbers of people saved in this boat rescue and the short time it took. All without any rehearsal or disaster plan drills. The Coast Guard did not commandeer vessels, they were volunteered. Because it is quite timely as we remember 9/11, I decided to share it with you here. Enjoy.
