Thanks for posting Mama, these are some of untold Heroes of 9/11. One hand!!
Thanks, Mama.
Wasn’t @matede part of this?
A powerful story. Thank you.
Thank you. I had not heard of this.
Thanks so much, what a beautiful story.
Sort of. I got there too late to pull folks out of the water I came later in the day to take people home. I had many friends who spent hours pulling people out of the water

I hope people on Ricochetti will keep us non-video-watchers informed about any 5-year retrospectives on Benghazi that might appear in the next few days.
Oh, wait. That was in 2012, so we won’t be seeing those until next year. Never mind.
This is so inspiring, Mama Toad: thank you! And kudos to you, Mate De for being one of the people who helped: people like you make the world go around. :)
I’ve been talking about this with folks–this story beats all the memorializing work done around the Freedom Tower. Why cannot America have better public monuments?
Thank you for telling us. I missed your post a year ago.
I was thinking of Dunkirk as I watched it – The Snow Goose is one of my favorite movies.
This is my new favorite.
Thanks for posting.
A great, under-reported story. Thanks for the link!
I just recommended Mate De’s post from last year. Let’s Main Feed it!
I wonder what Black Lives Matter thinks of this? THIS is America, dudes.
Wow. Thanks Mama T.
Wow. In 15 years I had never heard this story. Thank you.
Love this. Thanks, Mama T.
Stunning!
