This picture shows two electricians, Randall Champion and Jay Thompson, hanging from a power pole. That day there was a strong heat and nothing foreshadowed trouble. The hum of air conditioners in July 1967 was heard throughout the state of Florida. Because of that, in the city of Jacksonville, there was an overload of power lines, and this caused a power surge. Randall and Jay were doing routine maintenance on a live line when Randall accidentally touched one of the wires. A discharge of 4000 V passed through the body and his heart stopped. For understanding: during execution in the electric chair, a voltage of 2000 V is used. Randall's lifeless body hung from the harness. But his partner Jay did not lose his cool. Realizing that every second is precious, he began to give him artificial respiration right on the pole. It was very inconvenient, but there was no other way out. In such a situation, it is difficult to conduct a normal resuscitation, but Jay still tried to start his friend's heart until he finally had a weak pulse. Only after that, he unhooked his partner's insurance and, throwing him over his shoulder, went down to the ground. By the time the rescuers arrived (they were called by professional photographer Rocco Morabito, who happened to be at the scene and took this photo), Randall was already conscious on the ground. Not only was he saved, thanks to Jay Thompson, but he lived another 35 years. Randall Campbell died in 2003 at the age of 64. Jay Thompson is still alive today. Rocco Morabito was awarded with a Pulitzer Prize for taking this shot. #photograhy #photographer #interesting #storytime #interestingstory #fyp #viral #truestory
