NYC St Patrick's Day Parade 2002 | 250,000 Marchers | Historic Moment

Описание: After the events in New York on 9/11 2001 nobody was visiting the USA and all flight sales and tourist bookings slumped. We booked a return flight immediately to show our support for the USA and we returned to NYC for the St Patricks Day Parade in March 2002.
We met up with cousins and situated orselves up near The Plaza Hotel on 7th Avenue where we watched all the bands and dancers passing us, including Cath's cousin, Paddy O'Donnell who was with the Transit Pride band.
The parade was fantastic, over 250,000 marchers taking part, and even Rudolph Giuliani showed up (well, he had to really).

Hope you enjoy the short clip from that happier day.

Hi, It's Mick here, but Cath is also featured on some of these videos.
Welcome back to the channel, 'long time no see', and a very warm welcome to all my new subscribers. :)
As a former UK lorry driver, then a long haul trucker in Canada and the USA.
I originally uploaded short clips, but in 2026 I've decided to make longer videos from my archive of clips taken from 2008 to 2014.
I may also upload video compilations of our time in France and the UK as campsite wardens from 2014 until 2025.

Our main channel, @ourturnnow is alive and kicking with our European motorhome trips and our retirement plans for Ciudad Quesada in Spain.
Thanks for staying subscribed all these (17) years to the original Youtube Trucking video maker!
