Passenger Lands A Plane And Door Dash Hero
1. In an instant, a DoorDash driver went from delivering a pizza to saving a life.
Sophia Furtado was making a late-night delivery in Fairhaven MA, but when she approached the house, she saw Caryn Hebert Sullivan lying outside, bleeding from her head.
Sullivan has a bad knee, and says she turned while walking and fell, head-first. Furtado had previous medical knowledge from her time training as an Emergency Medical Technician.
She yelled for help, waking Sullivan’s husband, who called 911. Furtado stabilized Sullivan’s neck and didn’t move until medics arrived. Sullivan was hospitalized for 3 weeks but was on hand to see Furtado receive an award from the local police department, and a $1,000 educational grant from DoorDash. Sullivan says she’s “so thankful” for Furtado, her lifesaving skills, and their new friendship, and said: “She’s my guardian angel.”
2. Remember last week, when a guy with no flying experience landed a plane in Florida after the pilot passed out? Well, it turned out that pilot had a “severe cardiac event” . . . basically, a big tear in his aorta. But because passenger Darren Harrison landed so quickly, he survived it. He got released on Monday, and he’s home recovering.
