3. Nicholas Lawrence Mevoli’s last diving record
During his life, Nicholas wanted to set multiple records with his diving. And apparently everything went smoothly until the fateful day of November 2013, when, during a competition, he wanted to dive to 72 meters on one breath. But after plunging to a depth of 68 meters (223 feet), he began to surface. But after pausing, he went down even further. Mevoli finally emerged from the water after 3 minutes and 38 seconds, at which point this photo was taken. Can you imagine that this man probably saw death with his own eyes?
He collapsed a short while later. Over an hour was spent trying to revive Mevoli without result. At 1:44 PM, Nicholas Lawrence Mevoli was pronounced deceased due to pulmonary edema. He was the first free diver to perish in a major competition.

How can I forget the horrible day of September 11, 2001? I was doing my normal morning routine of an hour on my treadmill, watching the news on TV, when, suddenly, the cameras all shifted to NY’s World Trade Center and the first tower being struck. To say I felt the shock would be an understatement. My treadmill had a chest-strap that kept track of my heart-rate, and the moment I saw the plane hitting the towers, my treadmill slowed almost to a stop! I stood there, aghast at what I saw, unwilling to accept it, knowing that it was real. All these years later, I still feel an odd sense of shock just in recalling the incident. Extreme sorrow is so inadequate when reflecting on this outrage.
We witnessed pure evil that day. Human being do not perpetrate such an act – demons do. Never forget. NEVER FORGIVE!!!!!
That was a terrible day for me too!! It was my birthday, and I was on vacation in Baltimore, MD at the Inner Harbor. Watching the news on tv, in my hotel room and having my morning coffee. My girlfriend was in the shower. There was a breaking news story in NY, and I saw the first tower on fire. When the second tower got hit, I let out a gasp and screamed oh no!! My girlfriend ran into the room, wondering why I had screamed!! We both stood there, in shock and total silence!! I still feel sadness and an uneasiness every birthday now. I also watch the videos every year!! NEVER FORGET!!
