Bruce D. Kimball (born June 11, 1963) is an American diver and coach. He won a silver medal for the 10 meter platform at the 1984 Summer Olympics, placing behind fellow American, Greg Louganis. Kimball was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Three years before the Olympics, in 1981, Kimball was struck head-on by a drunken driver. Every bone in his face was fractured, his left leg broken, the ligaments in his knee torn, his liver was lacerated, he had a depressed skull fracture and his spleen had to be removed. This being one of the worst experiences of his life, he did come back to diving. When he returned to diving nine months later, he earned the nickname "The Comeback Kid". The accident occurred in October 1981. When he returned to diving in the summer of 1982, he made the World Championships on platform and earned a bronze medal.
At the 1984 Summer Olympics, he overtook Li Kongzheng with his final dive to win the silver medal.
On August 1, 1988, two weeks before the U.S. Olympic diving trials, Kimball, drunk, plowed into a crowd of teenagers while driving an estimated 70 to 90 miles per hour (110 to 140 km/h) killing two boys and injuring four others. Despite the tragedy, Kimball took part in the trials, but failed to make the team. He subsequently pleaded guilty to two counts vehicular manslaughter and was sentenced to seventeen years in prison. He was released on November 24, 1993, after serving less than five years. As a part of his sentence, his driving privileges were permanently revoked by Judge Harry Lee Coe.
Kimball may refer to:
The Scots-English language name Bruce arrived in Scotland with the Normans, from the place name Brix of the Manche département in Normandy, France, meaning "the willowlands". Initially promulgated via the descendants of King Robert I of Scotland (Robert the Bruce) (1274-1329), it has been a Scottish surname since medieval times; it is now a common given name.
The variant Lebrix and Le Brix are French variations of the surname.

A cheesy, gory, low-budget 70s exploitation slasher, Stu Segall's Drive in Massacre is a film that tries to be a decent whodunit while also trying to be a classic slasher. It pulls of the slasher aspect well enough, with a few gory scenes, teenagers (they're supposed to be teenagers anyway) smooching and plenty of cardboard-cutout character; the whodunit however falls short; the completely random maniac who shows up in the last 10 minutes out of nowhere with a machete; the peeping-tom with a suspicious bloody rag whom the police let go for no reason, and the lack of a proper ending; the ending can be either considered great or terrible for it's completely unconventional climax. The soundtrack assaults your ears with it's terribleness but fortunately it only chimes in when it feels like i...

Episode 1.10 Guest: Errol Bruce-Knapp Title: Strange Days... Indeed I first heard of Errol Bruce-Knapp in 1999 when I was doing the research for my first documentary, Stanton T. Friedman is Real. I joined an e-mail list called UFO Updates, because that was where all of the important UFO researchers "hung out", and reading through the archives and participating in the discussions was like a grad-level course in the UFO phenomenon. It was on UFO Updates that I "met" three people who would later become three of my best friends -- the late Mac Tonnies, Greg Bishop, and Nick Redfern -- as well as many others who would appear in future films, or with whom I struck up a friendship. After Stanton T. Friedman is Real was released, I made the first of several appearances on Errol's UFO-themed radio...
