This is from Pete Johansen, LLM member. Pete is a member of LLM and our representative to the Zone One Scholarship Committee. He also retired from the US Navy Reserves and served two tours of duty during the Iraq War.
On Saturday Sept 10th I attended a US Coast Guard 9/11 ceremony at the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum in NYC. At one of the presentations they showed a movie that they put together on the evacuation of lower Manhattan on 9/11.
The film is called Boatlift. It is about 12 mins long and it is narrated by Tom Hanks. Here is a Youtube link:

You can see me at 4:13, 7:48 and 8:17. This was from a video taken by a passenger who was evacuated by a boat from the ferry terminal at the World Financial Center which is just waterside of the World Trade Centers. I was supervising the loading of passengers from before the second hit the towers til after both towers fell.
