Injuries from glass shards hospitalized him for 45 days, where he developed pneumonia and sepsis, which ended his swimming career.

I think if you leap into a reservoir to save drowning children, especially if the situation was caused by a runaway trolley, you should also get an honorary philosophy degree.

    Looks like he got three medals per person saved. I'm not saying he didn't deserve them but damn.

      He also saved another bus load of people in '74, as well as running into a burning building to save people in '85. And on top of that he was an incredibly accomplished swimmer. Dude deserves his chestful of medals more than anyone

        With that much happening around you I'd start thinking you cause all that stuff

      On top of his other two rescues, he actually pulled 37 people out of that bus, not 20.
