他们拯救的生命是9/11事件中30万纽约人乘船从曼哈顿撤离的人工制品和口述历史中的故事。这是一个尚未被书写或讲述的故事。它包括数百段口述历史和许多这场高潮剧的照片,背景是地球静止不动、美国所有机场都被关闭、曼哈顿陷入交通堵塞的那一天的可怕背景。
从长远来看,将英国远征军从敦刻尔克海滩解救出来的那艘运船运走了大约相同数量的人:30万人。
The Lives They Saved: The Untold Story of Medics, Mariners and the Incredible Boatlift that Evacuated Nearly 300,000 People
The Lives They Saved is the story in artifacts and oral histories of the 300,000 New Yorkers who were evacuated from Manhattan on 9/11…by boat. It is a story that has not yet been written about or told. It includes hundreds of oral histories and many photographs of this high drama, set against the terrifying backdrop of the day when the Earth stood still, every airport in the U.S. was closed down, and Manhattan was seized by gridlock.
For perspective, the boatlift that saved Britain’s expeditionary force from the beaches of Dunkirk removed approximately the same number of people: 300,000.
