New Zealand firefighters perform haka to pay tribute to 9/11 first responders

Firefighters in New Zealand have paid tribute to the first responders to the September 11 attacks in New York by performing the haka, a ceremonial Māori dance, in honour of the victims. The video was shared on social media by the US ambassador to New Zealand, Scott Brown, who wrote: 'An appropriate and uniquely Kiwi way to remember the bravery and sacrifice of 9/11 first responders'.

Love this! It shows me that people around the world felt our pain.....

[@humanityissupreme.2575]

Did you feel the same while taking away the lives of innocents children from their parents and the lives of the parents from their children in Hiroshima and Nagasaki ? Did you feel anything when innocents poor people were bombed and destroyed in Iraq and Syria ? Did you feel anything while igniting the world war in Europe ? A crime is a crime only if it's done against the US right ? This is your definition of Humanity ? 😡

This moves me to tears for it’s overtly visceral spiritual beauty. What interesting is that bagpipes have the exact same effect on me: some things are universal.
