On the sixth anniversary of the 9/11, we look at the attacks on New York's World Trade Center through the eyes of some maritime workers in New York. The Coast Guard had put out a call for all available boats to bring in rescue crews and supplies on the morning of 9/11. We’re going to present a documentary on how some of those harbor workers and boaters evacuated thousands of people, and provided comfort to many wounded and severely shaken office workers.
