a American Olympic swimmer, after 12-mile running, he saw a trolley but crushed into a dam reservoir.

He immediately dove in and swan to bus where no sight and ten feet deep.

He got injured when he tried to break the closed back window.

He saved 20 people trapped in the bus one at a time over hours.

He got hospitalized for 45 days because of the damages like pneumonia, sepsis and lung damage.

In 1982 he happened to pass by a burning building, he rush into inside and save trapped people.

This time he also got hospitalized with severe burns and lung damage.

He's still kicking it at 66.

(Actually I got this from the Web. and I don't get what "kick" means in this case.)
