Subway closed, all three airports closed, schools closed, city highways closed. The city was literally shut down.<\/p>\n<p>Hurricane Sandy was one of the worst if not the worst storms that ever hit New York. The damages are more than significant: a whole neighborhood burned down in Queens and New Jersey looks like a region during a war.<\/p>\n<p>And what do the New Yorkers do, almost immediately after there was no danger any more walking outside? They go to work. The New York citizens just get back to &#8222;regular programming.&#8220; They return back to business.

It was so after 9\/11 and again after hurricane &#8222;Sandy.&#8220; I admire the New Yorkers for their bravery and wish that we all can learn something from their attitude.
