Kudos to the rescue crews too - they were on scene in short order.
If I were ever in a major disaster, I would want it to be in NYC. *That
sounds weird, but the point is, New York City has the best disaster
response I've ever seen. *

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.

All the first responders in this case were passenger ferrys and tour
boats, not emergency crews. Some were alongside the plane by the time
it stopped moving. Passengers on the ferrys assisted in getting people
aboard and giving their own clothing to try and warm up the extremely
cold and wet folks from the plane.

I only watch Ms. Maddow once or twice a week, but she is definitely the
cat's meow. I'd love to have dinner with her sometime.- Hide quoted text -

Naw, he just wanted something to say. Desperately seeking attention,
when we were kids we called them "curtain climbers"...

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

Good for you, Harry.

Careful now, Oxford PhD.

It might take a Yale BA to understand her.

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".

We had a Japan airlines 747 land short of SFO years ago. First people to it
were small boats fishing the bay. Luckily the water is about 55 degrees,
and the air was warmer on the day. But people help out in most areas of the
country. NOLA excepted.
