Salman’s Story

Sam Riley bio ↓ · September 6th, 2011 · filed under Other

Certified E.M.T. and former NYPD cadet, Salman went missing after helping save lives on September 11^th, ten years ago. Instead of spurring “Missing” fliers, his face was brandished across “Wanted” fliers, urging people to contact the terrorist task force. His mother, Talat Hamdani tells the story here for the NY Times, part of the “Portraits Redrawn” video series, remembering 9/11 as the tenth anniversary approaches.

This is The Rumpus

The Rumpus.net is an online magazine focused on culture, as opposed to "pop culture." Pop culture can be hard to define and the term means different things to different people. Basically, we're not opposed to things that are popular, but we have no interest in "art" created by marketing executives. And we have no interest in derivative art, like images of famous people made from shoelaces or Star Wars characters in funny wigs. (More on what we're about here, here, and here.)

The Rumpus is not worried about being the first to break the news. We care about good writing, and we'll publish essays just because the writing is good. And we won't run a well crafted meditation alongside an actor's opinion of the war in Iraq. (more)
