#ThisDay Sep 16, 1976, #Armenia'n finswimmer, Shavarsh Karapetyan saved the lives of 20 people in the #Yerevan Lake incident, when suddenly a trolleybus crashed into it. While most watched in horror, Karapetyan sprang into action. He had one goal: save as many people as possible. 
The trolleybus lay at the bottom of the reservoir some 25 metres (80 ft) offshore at a depth of 10 metres (33 ft). Karapetyan swam to it and, despite conditions of almost zero visibility, due to the silt rising from the bottom, broke the back window with his legs.
The trolleybus was crowded, it carried 92 passengers, Karapetyan started bringing people up from the bottom of the lake, to his waiting brother. The combined effect of multiple lacerations from glass shards led to Karapetyan's hospitalization for 45 days.

Due to the orbital path combination of the sun,moon & the earth
the air pressure in atmosphere changes to extremes on both poornima & amavasya
as can be seen in tidal waves which are rough & high but calm on the next day indicating the decreased pressure

They behaved as the uniform demanded from them.
Memories of their deeds they left behind.
Not fallen but surely forgotten, Our own Brothers who never came back.
Our soldiers who went missing in action
Let's remember them.
