A Near-Death Experience And The Kiss Of Life
You might have thought that this was a particularly romantic scene when you first looked at this picture, but it is quite the opposite. In 1967, Rocco Morabito took this photograph of Randall G. Champion being resuscitated by J.D. Thompson, a coworker. Champion was fatally electrocuted while working on a low-voltage line, losing consciousness immediately. Thompson happened to drive past the scene, immediately rushing to see what was happening. Thompson’s attention was caught by the sound of yelling, and he turned his head to see Champion dangling from the pole. He had no idea what aid he could bring, other than capturing the scene, but he did have the good sense to summon an ambulance. When he came back to the scene, he saw the kiss of life being administered. Thankfully, Champion lived thanks to his colleague’s efforts.
