Working guys, suits and ties, shop keepers and guys who looked like they probably never had a legit job piling in or hanging on vehicles heading to ground zero. How much they were actually able to help is not as important as the unsolicited, spontaneous response from people of all walks of life to run towards danger.
I couldn't agree more.
