| Devils owner Jeff Vanderbeek, escaping the collapse of the North Tower, on 11 Sept. 2001. See video below. |
Earlier today, I was watching this remarkable video that I'd never seen before. It was taken from a boat on the Hudson River on Sept. 11, 2001 — and shows the collapse of the North Tower. Amazingly, as I watched the video, at about the 3-minute mark, in comes Devils' owner Jeff Vanderbeek, who was running from a pier to get on to the boat, clearly to get out of Manhattan back to New Jersey, literally moments after the second tower collapsed.
I suspect Jeff was working at Lehman at the time — and I also wonder if he even knows of this video's existence. It's remarkable footage (not just because of Vanderbeek's presence) as it shows the best of humanity — people helping people on the most horrifying day this nation has ever seen. Please take a look.
