Life Saving Drone, Life Saving Human Chain
- Sweden recently got a fleet of drones that can show up with a defibrillator when someone’s having a heart attack. And they just saved their first life.
A 71-year-old guy collapsed while shoveling snow on December 9th. The drone took about three minutes to get there, and arrived before paramedics. Then someone zapped him with it, and he pulled through. He’s already made a full recovery.
- A 16-year-old kid in Texas named Jonathan Fredricks spent a year working at Chick-fil-A so he could buy a car. He paid 10 grand for a guy’s Mazda SUV. But then it got REPO’D last year, because the guy didn’t actually own it outright.
Jonathan ended up with no car AND no money. But luckily, a dealership called Frank Kent Motor Company heard about it, and stepped up to help. They recently gave him a Kia Soul SUV to replace it. It looks like it might even be newer than the one he had.
- A couple and their two kids almost died in Montana last week after their truck skidded off a snowy highway and plunged into a freezing river. But random people linked arms to form a human chain, and got them all out.
Here are the rescuers Calvin Smith and Patrick McGunagle along with the mother Samantha Reiter talking about the harrowing rescue.
