(CBS) NEW YORK Retired U.S. Army Sergeant Juan Arredondo still remembers the devastating sight of his severed left hand still gripping the steering wheel of the vehicle he was driving in Iraq after an IED suddenly exploded through the door.
Little would he know that that devastation would turn into a miracle.
Arredondo, 27, lost his hand on February 28, 2005. Just over two years later he's become one of the first recipients of the world's first bionic hand, called the "i-Limb."
