Frenchman Philippe Croizon lost all his limbs in an electrical accident but will attempt to swim the English Channel on Saturday, a challenge he has been preparing for two years. Croizon is trying to raise awareness regarding the difficulty limbless people have trying to find wetsuits. Croizon communicated through an interpreter, of sorts, as he also lost his voice in the same accident and is virtually unable to perform sign language, either. (REUTERS)
