Description

Documentary about the emergency treatment of thousands of people injured as a result of the September 11 terrorist attacks.

The small Downtown Hospital was faced with numerous serious operations in contrast to its usual workload of cosmetic surgery, and boats were used on the Hudson river to evacuate people to safety
