⚡️Resuscitation at 20 feet above the ground!!
A Pulitzer prize photo, and certainly worthy of that award... titled “Kiss of Life”, this photo shows a utility worker named J.D. Thompson giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to co-worker Randall G. Champion after he went unconscious following contact with a low voltage line at the top of a utility pole. They had been performing routine maintenance when Champion brushed one of the low voltage lines at the very top. Over 4000 volts entered Champion’s body and instantly stopped his heart (an electric chair uses about 2000 volts). His safety harness prevented a fall, and Thompson, who had been ascending below him, quickly reached him and performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. He was unable to perform CPR given the circumstances, but continued breathing into Champion’s lungs until he felt a slight pulse, then unbuckled his harness and descended with him on his shoulder. Thompson and another worker administered CPR on the ground, and Champion was moderately revived by the time paramedics arrived, eventually making a full recovery. Champion's injuries included a burn to his foot (the electrical current blew a hole where it came out his foot) that would require skin grafting and months of healing. What’s even more incredible is Champion not only survived this thanks to Thompson, but he lived an extra 35 years. He died in 2002 at 64 years old. Thompson is still alive today.
