Rachel Maddow explained it pretty well. She said, "New York City is is
a place where ordinary citizens will see danger and run TOWARDS it.

That's about all I've ever heard her explain pretty well.

I heard a guy say it a few years ago. A few days after 911 I was
watching a firefighter who had pulled folk out of the towers before
they went down.. He is the way it went down:

About New Yorkers
The fellow was telling a story about being in the hospital
interviewing a firefighter injured on September 11. He said that it
was "just like in a movie". At one point he (the interviewer) thanked
the fallen hero for going into the building with no concern for
himself or his own safety. "The firefighter lifted his head, and with
a thick NY accent said", "Whadidya expect, I'm a New Yorker".
