Click here to read the story and see the video narrated by Tom Hanks about the 9/11 Mariners Boat Lift rescue efforts.

Vincent Ardolino, captain of the Amberjack V, was at home in Brooklyn, watching the burning buildings on TV. He said, "I gotta go do something," kissed his wife goodbye, dashed to his charter boat.

These men, and hundreds like them, pushed their boats into the harbor, and filled over and over with dazed passengers. That the evacuation was unplanned and unrehearsed is remarkable. But what is even more impressive is that not a single person was injured in the process.

The story of the 9/11 boatlift is a reminder of the sense of shared purpose and resilience that pervaded New York - and the world - in the immediate aftermath of the attacks.
