Today, it’s more awesome on a plane. A group of Boy Scouts saved a man who went into cardiac arrest on a Southwest flight bound for New York City. Led by Scout leader Evan Gilder, 16-year-old Eagle Scout Ariel Yaron and 17-year-old Moshe Grimaldi, performed CPR for over 40 minutes. The doctors acknowledged the difficulty of maintaining CPR for that long of a period, and one doctor said that continuous CPR was critical to the man’s survival. The Scouts tirelessly continued their efforts until the plane made an emergency landing in Pittsburgh, where the man finally started showing signs of a pulse. Saving a life and inspiring others to learn CPR, THAT’S AWESOME
