Retired Windsor Terrace firefighter George Bachmann's memory of 9/11 is more vivid today than it was for years after the terrorist attack.
In his memoir, "Tara's Cross," Bachmann chronicles how he overcame memory loss and healed deep emotional wounds as a survivor who narrowly escaped death at the twin towers.
"There's been a lot of soul-searching," said Bachmann, 59. "I'm not a big hero. I didn't save anyone on 9/11 other than my own life."
Bachmann, who worked at the Liberty St. firehouse across the street from Ground Zero, didn't remember anything about 9/11 because falling debris outside the north tower had trapped him, breaking his back and cracking his skull.
