The ubiquitous picture of the man being rushed from the marathon explosion with both of his legs torn apart and accompanied by a man in a cowboy hat saving his life has been given more background. Jeff Bauman, the injured man in the photograph, is now recovering. He assisted in identifying the perpetrators of the bombing even as he was still waking up from surgery in intensive care. His savior, the brave man who kept him from bleeding out and dying on the scene, now has a Wikipedia page and his own story in the Time Magazine LightBox. His name is Carlos Arredondo. http://lightbox.time.com/2013/04/18/the-hero-in-the-cowboy-hat-carlos-arredondos-story-by-eugene-richards/?iid=lf%7Caround#1 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Arredondo
