Unique, rare 9/11 material shot from the Hudson

The camera quality is better than some videos in 2018.

This is the 1st piece of film I've seen with children in it. I can't imagine all the confusion and terror they must've felt and how hard it was for their parents to explain that to them

Imagine going from panicking that you are late for work. to it being the biggest blessing in your life.

Asbestos, fiberglass, dioxins, lead, sulfuric acid - to this day, no one knows the exact mix of the one million tons of debris and dust that filled the air and streets of Manhattan, but the consequences are well known. Coughing, shortness of breath and chest pains were just the beginning. What's dangerous is that even many years later, illnesses can still arise as a result of the 9/11 tragedy..

To the people who ran these boats....thank you for saving everyone, especially the kids

Not enough coverage or credit to the water rescuers. They were also heroes that day.

Those men who made it into the boat were very blessed that day. 😢 so sad for those who lost their lives.

This footage is VERY important. It shows the towers were NOT brought down by controlled blasts.

Your camera seems to be better than all the news casters cameras

Wow, I've seen a LOT of 9/11 footage, but never from this angle. Thanks for the upload.

I just watched this video today, I had no idea there was this footage of boat people helping to evacuate others from Manhattan. Thank you, boat people! You are the best of the best!

2:12 WOW, you can see that part of it was actually still standing briefly. This is an incredible video

These scenes are still unbelievably horrific no matter how many times you come back to them. 20 yrs already RIP

I loved how the people with boats came to Manhattan island and helped the ppl escape since at the time everything was closed, people helping people I love that

I was today years old when I learned that people were using their own boats to help people escape. I was 16 years old when this happened and now at 38, I still remember this as if it were yesterday. I will never forget. WE will never forget ❤🇺🇸

Whether black white or yellow, liberal, non-partisan or conservative... we all bleed red. Why can't we just get along and stop all of this foolishness?

You don't hear much about the boats helping to rescue people !

That dust killed so much people later on in life.

Imagine being a tourist and it being your first day in America.

Was in school then as a kid and just heard over the intercoms about the first Tower falling and then the second. I didn't see my mom (now a former nurse but helped everyone then) that day until midnight. The hospital she worked in nearby was overfilled with patientss coming over from the tremendous amount of ash and debris filling their lungs. First time seeing this footage and clear shot of one of the towers clearly giving from the damage........praise these river rescusers and everyone that helped that day.
