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 the brother of the one killed. It is also worth nothing 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.
