Crazy how black and white ages a photo. Imagine how modern the world actually looked in all of the grainy pictures taken throughout history.

Here is a much higher quality and less cropped version of this image in the original color. Here is the source. Credit to the photographer, Allan Tannenbaum.

According to here:

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.

I'm so grateful that u/Spartan2470 added a much needed editorial to this post. It took a no-effort attempt to farm karma and fortified it with quality pictures and illuminating information. I wish u/Spartan2470 could follow every dumbass around to help us decipher their bullshit. 😘
