Marathon Bombing Survivor Jeff Bauman

One of the most indelible images from the Boston Marathon bombing on April 15, 2013, was of a dazed and seriously injured man, 27-year-old Jeff Bauman, who grasped his bloodied left leg as he was wheeled from the carnage. At the end of that horrific day, Bauman, a spectator who was waiting at the finish line to cheer for his girlfriend, woke up in a hospital bed with both lower legs amputated. This e-single, compiled from The New York Times archives, chronicles Bauman’s inspiring story. For nine weeks, The Times writer Tim Rohan and Times photographer Josh Haner followed Bauman’s slow and painful rehabilitation. Haner’s moving photo essay, “Beyond the Finish Line,” won the 2014 Pulitzer Prize in feature photography for The Times.
