A true story. Read about the tenacity and sheer determination of the US Navy Diver, Carl Brashear. A movie was created in his honour: 'Men of Honour.' Actor Cuba Gooding (Junior). Here is the introduction:
"Swoosh"
The rusted cable and long pipe flashed briefly as it hurtled towards the experienced US Navy diver.
"Watch out!" he shouted as he looked up.
At the same time, he pushed and pulled the person next to him out of harm's way.
"Rip!"
The cable and pipe whipped Carl Brashear's feet out from under him. The long pipe, connected to a steel cable, came from nowhere and attacked him. With brute force, his left leg was sliced. It all happened at lightning speed – unexpected.
He fell face down on the deck. Warm red blood instantly stained the deck. The salvage operation, lifting bombs from the ocean, ended abruptly. Immediate medical attention was required. Brashear was in severe pain.
The person beside Carl is safe – saved by his quick action – looked on in shock. Carl acted selflessly. The pipe attached to the flying cable had sliced through the lower left leg of Brashear. A large gaping wound stared at him as he looked down at his leg.
"Aaarrgggh! Aaarrgghh!
Carl is convulsing, twisting, and turning under the excruciating pain. Both hands are clamping onto his lower leg. An artery has been severed. Blood is gushing from his leg.
"Help! Help me!"
