On 9/11, we saw the worst
of humanity—but that day also allowed for some of its best. This week,
we wanted to highlight some of the amazing stories of heroism by
ordinary individuals.
> Civilian
boat captains helped evacuate roughly half a million people from lower
Manhattan, resulting in the largest seaborne evacuation ever. (More, w/video)
> Colleagues
carried a quadriplegic coworker down nearly 70 flights of stairs to
safety on 9/11. (More)
> The
"Man in the Red Bandana" saved lives by repeatedly entering
the south tower's burning sky lobby to guide survivors to safety before
dying in its collapse. (More, w/video)
> Gander,
a tiny town in Newfoundland, Canada, came together to host thousands of
stranded passengers from 95 countries for days after 9/11 and inspired
a Tony Award-winning Broadway musical. (More, w/video)
> Passengers
and crew aboard hijacked United Flight 93 stormed the cockpit, forcing
the hijackers to crash the plane short of its likely target, the US
Capitol. See intact objects found in the wreckage of the crash. (More, w/video)
An estimated 1 million
Americans showed up to give blood in the days after the 9/11 attacks.
