This Man Saved 20 People From a Sinking Bus in 1976
Shavarsh Karapetyan was his name. He was a Soviet–Armenian champion swimmer back in the day (11–time world record holder, 17–time world champion, 13–time European Champion and 7–time Soviet champion). He was exercising one morning when a bus lost control and fell into the frigid water of lake Erevan, Armenia. Without a second of hesitation he leaped into the water. The bus had 92 passengers on board, he managed to save 20 (he pulled out more but not everyone made it).
He did 30 dives (10 meters in depth) and lost consciousness on his last one. He ended up in the hospital with two–sided pneumonia and blood contamination (he had cuts everywhere from glass shards). Shavarsh, this world would be a better place with more people like you! Full story here.
Painted the Hood & Bumper on the Ford
I got the car about two months ago and one of the most annoying things about it was the white hood (see photo inside). This was one of the first things on my TO–DO list for the car. I snapped a few pictures of the process. Overall it was a job well done (thanks to dad) that only took two evenings to do completely.
Beautiful April Storm in Canada
This happened a few days ago, decided to share some pics on here =). Really amazing to see what mother nature is capable of. This happened overnight, and the day before was +10°C. Just some pics from my daily walk to work!
Pirate Bay's Insane Plan to Create Flying Server Drones
The Swedish pirates have started a new front in their war against the entertainment industry and the US as a whole. There has been talk on their public blog about launching LOSS (Low Orbit Server Stations) drones as flying servers. This would be another way to decentralize their infrastructure as they state on the blog post. Recent technological advances such as GPS positioning, remote control and advanced computer logistics could potentially make this a real possibility. I guess a new type of war requires new types of weapons!
Chernobyl Diaries: Coming This Summer
It has been nearly 26 years since the Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine. After the explosion, most of Ukraine was unaware of the massive accident that occurred. After several days the government evacuated the entire city of Pripyat within a day. This explosion was an equivalent of 400 nuclear bombs, and to this day very few people live here. Check out the new horror movie coming out this summer, it reminds me a lot of the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
Assassin's Creed 3: The Preview Screenshots
Being a huge fan of the first four games (not so much the first one - wow that game was repetitive). Things aside though, after AC2, everything became clear that this will be an amazing line of games. The new Assassins Creed is supposed to take place during the American Revolution. Check out the leaked photos of the new AC3!
