Boston bombing victim Jeff Bauman's amazing determination as he walks for the first time since losing both his legs in the blast

Boston strong: Jeff Bauman, who lost his lower legs in the Boston Marathon bombings, walks on his own for the first time since the marathon as his girlfriend, left, and a prosthetist, right, look on

Mail Online - Bauman explained that he had been near the finish line with two friends to cheer for his girlfriend, Erin Hurley, as she finished the race when he spotted a suspicious-looking man five feet from him.

He noted - and later told investigators - that the man was wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses and a heavy coat, which Bauman thought was bizarre for a warm day.

Thinking at first it was a firework, he sat up and was horrified to see the area strewn with blood and injured spectators. He looked for his friends and noticed one staring at his legs in shock.
