If I told you a twenty-three-year-old guy once jumped into a freezing reservoir, swam ten metres down to a sunken trolleybus, kicked through a glass window in the dark, and physically pulled dozens of people out of the water, you might think it was a movie script.
But it actually happened in 1976 in Yerevan, Armenia. The man was Shavarsh Karapetyan. He just happened to be jogging by the water when the bus went off the road. He also happened to be a seventeen-time world champion and eleven-time world record holder in underwater finswimming.
The vehicle sank straight to the bottom with ninety-two passengers inside. Because Karapetyan was quite literally the best underwater swimmer on the planet, he spent twenty minutes diving into the raw sewage and freezing water. He would hold his breath, swim down, locate someone in the murky dark, drag them to the surface, and pass them to his brother in a rowboat before going straight back down.
Twenty of those passengers survived. There is no record of a single person ever pulling off an underwater physical rescue of that scale before or since.
The physical toll completely ended his athletic career. The broken glass shredded his legs, and the heavily polluted water gave him severe pneumonia and sepsis. He spent forty-five days unconscious in a hospital and lost his physical ability to compete at a world-class level.
When reporters later asked him what the hardest part of the rescue was, he did not mention the cold or the injuries. He said that on one of his dives in the pitch black, he accidentally grabbed a leather seat cushion instead of a passenger, and he spent years having nightmares about the person he could have brought up instead.

Rogue takeaways in Liverpool and Manchester are brazenly passing off cheap imported catfish as traditional cod or haddock fish and chips,
DNA testing at Liverpool John Moores University exposed three out of ten chippies tested were serving pangasius also known as river cobbler,
the tropical freshwater fish costs just £3.40 per kilo compared to £15 for proper species so rogue shops pocket huge mark-ups while customers pay full price,
honest Liverpool chip shop owners say the scam is far more common than people realise and it's putting legitimate businesses at a massive disadvantage,
Thoughts?

@libsoftiktok @SouthwestAir Too bad his staged assassination attempts are done by subpar shooters. 8647. The pedo needs to go.

Uh oh @SouthwestAir… it appears you have a flight attendant wishing death on Trump and crying that the shooter missed. Please check your dms! I’m trying to reach you to comment before I drop the story
