Boston bombing survivor, fiancée: Year of struggle made us stronger
(CNN) – Boston Marathon bombing survivor Jeff Bauman's haunting, ashen face became an iconic image of the terror unleashed that day last April. He lost both legs in the attack.
Bauman's new book, "Stronger," begins with a chilling description:
"I know exactly when my life changed: when I looked into the face of Tamerlan Tsarnaev. It was 2:48pm on April 15, 2013-one minute before the most high-profile terrorist event on United States soil since September 11-and he was standing right beside me."
"It started out as a really cool day in April," Bauman says.
Bauman was at the finish line with a couple friends, waiting to cheer on his then-girlfriend (now fiancée) who was running the race. He spotted a young man with a bag who looked completely out of place. Bauman looked down, the man was gone, and then saw an abandoned bag.
"Next thing I know I was on the ground. I heard a pop and saw a flash," Bauman said in an interview with CNN's "The Lead with Jake Tapper."
