You don't need to build airports, you don't need to put down steel rails, you don't have to build new highways, we get around on two little points like your tippy-toes, and we can get around on your downtown, on your sidewalks.

In 1966, while Brashear was serving on the U.S.S. Hoist, a loose steel pipe careered across the deck and crushed his lower left leg. Intensive rehab after the leg was amputated helped persuade Navy doctors to clear him for diving--although he had to prove he could climb with 300 lbs. on his back to simulate diving tanks.
