It's eight years after 9/11.

Why is the news media only just now telling the story of these brave folks who sailed into the debris cloud to rescue survivors while everyone was running the other way...and then stayed for four days to pump water from the Hudson River - the only source of water in Lower Manhattan in the days after the 9/11 attacks.
