Real American Hero - Photo Fundraiser
The images he shot in the subsequent hours —a reel of which you can view here—offer a powerful first-person account of what it was like to plunge into the dust and terror of that day.
And one image stands out.

It features FDNY first responder Tim Duffy, in full firefighter gear, riding a red Harley-Davidson into a warzone.
Shortly after this photo was taken, Duffy was buried under rubble when the North Tower collapsed. He not only survived, he continued helping others to safety that day, despite the choking toxic dust.
He survived, and so did his Harley—a 2000 Harley-Davidson Super Glide Sport, which he still rides to this day.
Two years ago he even took the Super Glide across the country on a fundraising mission for 1 Soldier, 1 Dog, 1 Team, a charity he founded that pairs shelter dogs with veterans and first responders suffering from PTSD.
