One of the saddest stories of the 1989 coup attempt led by Gringo Honasan ( a popular military hero) was the death of a soldier in his tank when a grenade was thrown at it. The soldier who threw the grenade was thrown at it. The soldier who threw the grenade was the brother of the one killed. It is also worth noting that Gringo Honasan, after a short time in prison, is now a Senator; the people had focused on his previous achievements, and did not condemn him for the attempted coup.
