Description: Bikeman : An Epic Poem, Paperback by Flynn, Thomas F., ISBN 152487194X, ISBN-13 9781524871949, Brand New, Free shipping in the US An deeply moving testament to 9/11 and its horrific aftermath, this epic illustrates the power of a single moment and how each decision we make can change the course of a life. On September 11, 2001, journalist Tom Flynn set off on his bike toward the World Trade Towers not knowing what he was riding into.Bikemanis one man's journey back to the horrors of that day and to the humanity that somehow emerged from the dust and the death. Both heartbreaking and haunting, his words will stay with you like that 'forever September morning.' --Meredith Vieira, NBC'sToday From those whose deaths revealed the most private moments of their lives, to those who helped guide the way to safety, veteran journalist Thomas Flynn'sBikemanchronicles the morning of September 11, 2001 like no other published work. What began with a bicycle ride to the World Trade Center to cover the first tower's attack continued as the south tower fell and Thomas Flynn found himself quickly transitioning from reporter to participant as he beared witness to and, with a disquieted view, fought for his own life in the very event his well-trained journalistic senses intended to record and report. Now Flynn, as both journalist and now survivor, must come to terms with the harrowing ordeal and somehow find peace in the very act of surviving. With a forward from Dan Rather, Bikeman is a testament to the strength and courage we must summon at the blink of an eye. In this deeply emotional memoir that is part journalist's record, part survivor's lament, Flynn writes: Survival is the absence of death. It is a subdued, a hushed existence. . . I live to talk about it, to relate the tale as it happens, not only its extremities and cruelty, but also the goodness that flourishes too.
