Some Incredibly Brave People








*-- Three Men Who Swarm Through Chernobyl's Radio Active Water To Stop A Nuclear Melt Down In 1986 a sudden surge of power during a reactor system test destroyed Unit 4 of Chernobyl's power plant, spewing massive deadly radio active material into the environment.
The death toll was unknown and rumoured to be from a few hundreds to a few thousands. While many perished, three clean-up volunteers- Alexi Anenenko, Valeri Bezpoalov and Boris Baranov, wllingly met their fate. During the well-documented disaster, a pool of water used for emergencies in case of a break in the cooling pumps or steam pipes became flooded with a highly radio active liquid that was in danger of blowing up. These three men suited up in scuba gear and swam into the radio active waters of flooded chamber, knowing full well they will die as a result. They opened up gate valve which allowed contaminated water to drain out. Days after reaching the surface all three men succumbed to radiation poisoning and were buried in lead coffins. If not for the bravery of :Chernobyl Suicide Squad" a thermal explosion would have taken place resulting in unfathomable disaster. *-- The Boy Who Protected A Rape Victim While His Home Was Burning:- Let us honour another young person for his bravery, one even younger than Madril and Martinez, 14-year-old Michigan resident James Pyrsen III. It was a cold January 2013 night in the town of Shepherd, Michigan. Persyn was watching TV while his two younger siblings were playing in the living room. Their father, Angus Persyn Jr, had just left home to pick up his fiance who was working nearby. What an exciting moments those turned out to be! Right after his father left Persyn heard a loud banging at the door by a panicked woman. As the young boy later described, " Her voice was, like, if she was going to die, if I did not open the door." The woman was a student at Central Michigan University who had been raped by a 30-year-old sex-con, Eric Ramsey. She had clear packing tape wrapped around her body and was covered with bruises. James let her in and after she was safe inside he locked all the door turned out the lights, got a knife and took everyone to hide in the bathroom. The rapist soon found out where his victim was hiding. Ramsey approached the house and shoute, "Let me in or I will kill you". James called his dad who in turn called 911. Unable to get into the house Ramsey doused it with gasoline , lit it on fire and
left. Angus arrived just in time and stopped the fire from spreading further. The persyns and CMU student all ended up safe. The rapist was shot and killed by police soon later.
