An NYPD helicopter crew named for the cops killed on 9/11 rescued five adults and one child on Tuesday in heroic operations on Staten Island, where the flood waters of Hurricane Sandy trapped victims in their homes.
A riveting rescue by the crew of Helicopter 23 — after the 23 officers who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001 — is captured in this video from the insideNYPD YouTube channel.
