Colin Furze of Lincolnshire, England, built an inflatable iron man suit that allowed him to stand inside a huge fireworks display. In 1252, Norway's King Haakon gave Henry III a polar bear. It lived in the Tower of London and swam in the river Thames! In 2009, Italian neurosurgeon Claudio Vitale suffered an angina attack while performing a procedure- and completed the operation!

Let me understand this-he was operating on someone’s brain when this happened? Was the procedure a success?

“Completed” a surgery doesn’t necessarily mean it was a success.

Found an article about Claudio Vitale. It stated that he and the patient were recovering nicely. That was in 2009, so don’t know what happened after recovery.
