Another thing that was scary ... Forrest got bumped by something. He yelled as soon as it happened. Seconds later, he let out another yell.

It was just amazing to see. I told him I was really honored to paddle next to such a world-class swimmer. To see the grace and determination. I haven't really seen an athlete like that.

Her death was drawn out. A very horrible, horrible way to die.

It was amazing how he kept on going. I knew he was going to make it. He was in really good spirits psychologically. Once you're like that, nothing's going to stop you.

This problem was not an issue raised by the defendants, instead the court raised it on its own. The net result here is it changes the way we hold someone accountable for their actions. People should be liable for the danger they create.
