Ryanair passengers are screaming and crying before they even get on the plane. Ryanair's the only airline able to piss you off more than the one that cancelled your flight.
The thing is even at this day and age since the invention of the wheel...we haven't gone full demolition man with our vehicles...why haven't we implemented an Auto drive based service for when ppl that are driving are having a heart attack, aneurysm, collapsed lungs, etc ? Like this should be a serious thing consider...sure we don't have robots yet to resuscitate us...but there needs to be some sort of way to resuscitate ppl at the wheel and the car's autopilot takes over and brings the car to safe parking...etc.
This is also why I believe the entire school and workforce should be 100% remote. Ain't nobody needs to be out in these situations and this man could be around other ppl if the situation was different with more capable adults.
>This is also why I believe the entire school and workforce should be 100% remote
Oh yeah, great idea, prevent every children from socializing with other kids in their early years. What could go wrong?
They say the more loose you are during an accident the more likely you will survive. That said, pilots take the brunt of responsibility for any accidents that occur. So jail is your plan b if death doesn't take you.
Thatās an actual statistic. The reason so many drunk drivers survive really violent impacts is because they donāt tense up their bodies the way more alert drivers do. Being tense during a collision can cause all manner of really awful trauma to the body, whereas being loose and limp actually works in your favor.
I know it sounds weird but I remember a teacher telling me in middle school that if my bus driver started fainting and clenching his chest to have someone take the wheel and attempt to stop the bus and another person to repeatedly punch him in the chest until paramedics arrived.
CPR is difficult to perform as an adult and in the correct position. A child weighing significantly less weight would probably have to punch the driverās chest to make CPR efforts significant.
A good punch to the chest can shock the heart back into rhythm if itās slipped into an incorrect rhythm. Itās actually standard to try that if you see someone actively having a heart attack.
Broadly speaking, impacting the chest doesn't do a darn thing to compress the heart. Precordial thumps which do rely on just the movement from a strike are rarely done and very strictly with witnessed, monitored (12 lead telemetry) events; think patient having an arrest in the ED during triage for chest pain and the doc is standing at bedside.
CPR is all about that compression, good CPR compresses the heart to the degree that it moves blood.
I'm pretty sure the current state of CPR is compression focused for cardiac events, even above rescue breaths, and the AHA stresses to get hands on chest pumping as quickly as possible.
[it is called a precordial thump](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK545174/)
Similar thought process as Commotion Cordis (the one where athletes hearts stop beating correctly after a hit to the chest
Literally no where recommends doing that. I've never seen any BLS or ACLS protocol recommend that, so it's definitely not standard practice. You may ask them to vagal maneuver if they have the appropriate rhythm and they're awake, but no where recommends even bother hitting them in the chest. It's immediately start chest compressions, breaths, and get ready for shock and meds.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK545174/#:~:text=Precordial%20thump%20is%20a%20potentially,defibrillator%20is%20not%20immediately%20available.
Precordial thump. Was taught this is the first line before CPR for an active heart attack when I trained to be an EMT.
Show me a BLS, ACLS, or PALS protocol that says initiate with a precordial thump for cardiac arrest. Hell, show me a BLS, ACLS, or PALS protocol that even mentions precordial thump. Do you understand what standard protocol means? You've cited 1 study without addressing the validity or strength of the study. If there was evidence that precordial thump improved prognosis as an initial intervention, then it would be in the standard protocols I mentioned, but there isn't the evidence, so it isn't standard.
Change your initial comment and stop giving bogus medical advice. At best, you can say "there is some evidence to suggest initiating with a precordial thump for cardiac arrest in some circumstances, but there is not sufficient evidence to change standard protocol." If people waste their time with bogus medical advice, people will die because CPR wasn't initiated fast enough.
Edit: From your own study you didn't read.
> The precordial thump, although frequently featured as successful in show business is less effective, and its use is more limited in real life. Currently, its use is recommended only for witnessed, monitored, unstable ventricular tachycardia when a defibrillator is not immediately available.
This is not standard protocol.
CPR takes force. Kids canāt often exert that force cuz theyāre too small. A punchc is better than light presses that donāt serve their intended purpose
While someone else beatboxes and the bus gets a freestyle circle going and everyone raps, "the bus driver's heart goes up and down, up and down, up and down, the bus driver's heart goes up and down, as we cruise the town."
One of my bus drivers had had one or two strokes before becoming a driver. She had one once while driving and another close call. All I can remember was sitting in the bus parked on the side of the road in the Texas sun while the medics checked her out. Wake up, wait for the bus, guess who's driving the next morning?
The unnecessary music drowns it out, but these kids stayed so cool and composed they continued on with their Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round song throughout the incident without breaking harmony!

First kid just got the bus back under control, pulled over to the right curb, and turned the engine off.

Never in a million years would've thought I'd see my old middle school in the news. Sad that it was for such a tragic reason, but at least the kids were okay.
In this dashcam footage, two Surprise Lake Middle School students in Milton managed to stop a school bus and attempt to aid the driver, Ryan Callis, who suffered an apparent heart attack behind the wheel on Apr. 9, 2012. Callis died two days later. BY FIFE SCHOOL DISTRICT Fife school administrators and the family of a quick-acting Milton middle school student have been inundated with phone calls from national television shows after the boy guided his school bus safely off the road Monday after the driver had a medical emergency. Among those calling were āThe Ellen DeGeneres Showā and an Australian television station, requesting to speak with seventh-grader Jeremy Wuistchick about his actions. CNN ran local television news reports on the incident. āThere is a bevy of different groupings out there that want to talk to the kids or have them on the shows,ā Jeff Short, deputy superintendent for Fife Public Schools, said Tuesday. Wuitschickās family has decided to curtail most interviews, Short said. A request by The News Tribune was declined. Wuitschick retold his story to local media Monday, hours after he grabbed the wheel when the bus driver passed out, steered the vehicle to the curb and did some chest compressions on the stricken man. The 43-year-old driver, whose name was not released, was taken to a Tacoma-area hospital, where his condition was described as grave, Short said. His family has requested that no more information be released. The incident happened about 8 a.m. on Milton Way near the entrance of Surprise Lake Middle School. The bus was turning into the school when the driver likely had a heart attack, Short said. āThe bus driver is acting all funny,ā Wuitschick told KIRO-TV. āHeās shaking. His arms are flailing. His eyes are bulging, and heās making weird rasping noises with his mouth.ā Surveillance video from the bus showed the driver slump in his seat, apparently unconscious. Students could be heard yelling, āCall 911! Call 911!ā āStop the bus!ā and āTake the keys out of the ignition!ā āSo I take action. I leap off my chair,ā Wuitschick said. āI grab the wheel, turn it to the right side of the road. I take the keys out of the ignition and start slowing down.ā He then began chest compressions. The bus hit a curb, bumping and finally stopping. Another student, Johnny Wood, trained in first aid by the Red Cross, also ran to the front of the bus to help. āHis eyes were rolling back and I could tell it was getting harder for him to breathe,ā Wood told KIRO-TV. Milton police received several calls about an erratically driven school bus and a nearby officer showed up quickly. A Fife school administrator saw what was happening and pulled over after Wuitschick got the bus stopped. The 12 students on the bus were escorted off as the administrator started CPR on the bus driver. Police Chief Bill Rhoads credited Wuitschickās quick thinking with getting the bus pulled over safely. The bus didnāt hit any other vehicles, and no one was injured. āWeāre just happy the kid was thinking on his feet,ā Rhoads said. ā(He did) a great job.ā This story was originally published April 9, 2012, 7:20 PM.

Callis died two days later. BY FIFE SCHOOL DISTRICT The Fife School District bus driver who had a medical emergency while driving children to school Monday morning has died. Ryan Callis, a 43-year-old father of three, never regained consciousness, his cousin, Reggie Green, of Tacoma, said Thursday. Callis died Wednesday at St. Francis Hospital in Federal Way, two days after an apparent heart attack incapacitated him while he was driving a 13-ton school bus to Surprise Lake Middle School. When Callis slumped at the wheel, two 13-year-old students on the bus sprang into action. Jeremy Wuitschick steered the moving bus to the curb and shut the engine off. Johnny Wood also ran to the front of the bus to help out. Wuitschick and Wood were interviewed about their actions in the āTodayā show studio Thursday in New York. Family members who gathered Thursday at Greenās house in East Tacoma remembered Callis as a dedicated family man who loved to fish and barbeque and devoted his life to assisting others. āHe was a loving and caring person,ā said Callisā mother, Audrey McCray. āHe loved helping people.ā McCray flew to Washington State from her home in Houston when she heard about her sonās incident and saw the dramatic video recorded by a camera on the bus and played on national television. Before going to work for the Fife School District, McCray said, Callis had worked for Pierce Transit for 14 years as a bus driver for special-needs children. He also worked as in-home health care provider, she said. This story was originally published April 13, 2012, 12:00 AM
Ironic that the kid says that the situation got his heart pumping while trying to give chest compressions to the driver who had an apparent heart attack lol.
Impressive kids! Could have been a lot worse.
No, the kid didn't even start CPR. Looks like he tried shaking him to wake him up and then went back to his seat. But that guy was huge, so a little kid like that was probably never going to get effective compressions on that guy slumped in the chair anyway.
Was the second kid stepping up to help steer/stop the bus? Iām solidly impressed. Seriously, thatās one hell of a reaction response, especially from children. Amazing. I hope the driver is okay, though.
The kid said that he read it in a comic book that you could take out the ignition keys to stop the engine. Imagine comic book knowledge saving your life
Looks, like he gave up on steering too soon. They are still moving and he starts hitting the driver. Another kid tries to take over but they hit something. A for effort though.
That one detail will resolve 90% of your biggest problems.

I passed out while driving in heavy traffic a few years ago. My wife didn't simply stop the car, she somehow parked the damn thing - in a parking lot across the street from where we were.
If I wasn't so unconscious I would have been terribly impressed.
Only one of those kids had the wherewithal to do anything. They're all incredibly lucky that he knew what to do instead of just sitting there, totally clueless...š
People, please raise your kids to be more aware and proactive.
This is legit exactly something that happens in the book series āGoneā, which has some interesting complications with the main character. If anyone knows what Iām talking about please comment so I know Iām not crazy.
This thing has been downloaded and re-uploaded and screen grabbed and re-encoded so damn many times that it looks like shit compared to when I first saw it over a decade ago.
One time while i was on my way home from school on the bus, my bus driver started choking on a cough drop while going uphill, we started rolling back down but her daughter quickly hit the e brake.
If she didn't have the intuition she had, we would've all been injured because we would've rolled down into a busy road.
It was scary af
The girls in the front are using weaponized incompetence so that they wonāt be expected to stop any runaway busses in the future. Am I doing Reddit right?
With how grainy this video is, it has to be 15yrs old. Did the kid ever go into something like hospital work or firefighting? He'd make one hell of an Incident Commander.
Nah you would be fine one minute thinking itās like any other day then you would be gone. If and itās a big if you wake up you wouldnāt have even known what happened
I get that thinking, but Idk ayy I think you would have a little time to react or not e you are not fine and on that realisation you stay in the moment.
Like on the train, this girl was standing near the door while leaning on the side. She started losing it and she grabbed the side bar she still fell but she atleast went for it.
We all went over and asked if she was okay, I told her don't be embarrassed and we stayed with her till she got up, started dizzying out again this time we caught her and gently lowered her down and then they got her off the train at the next stop. We think she was having seizures.
Maybe it's not the same or not the same thing and I'm sure there are more extreme cases of completely losing yourself. I still belive though in a small part mentally consentrating on what you were doing and trying to avoid a nasty accident instead of going limp.
Imagine being really drunk, litterally blind and your hands bound behind your back and you trip over a log. I would still try and do something lol
I want to go peacefully in my sleep, not crying and screaming like my passengers.
I am also a pilot. š«”

Milton police received several calls about an erratically driven school bus and a nearby officer showed up quickly. A Fife school administrator saw what was happening and pulled over after Wuitschick got the bus stopped. The 12 students on the bus were escorted off as the administrator started CPR on the bus driver. Police Chief Bill Rhoads credited Wuitschickās quick thinking with getting the bus pulled over safely. The bus didnāt hit any other vehicles, and no one was injured. āWeāre just happy the kid was thinking on his feet,ā Rhoads said. ā(He did) a great job.ā This story was originally published April 9, 2012, 7:20 PM. In this dashcam footage, two Surprise Lake Middle School students in Milton managed to stop a school bus and attempt to aid the driver, Ryan Callis, who suffered an apparent heart attack behind the wheel on Apr. 9, 2012. Callis died two days later. BY FIFE SCHOOL DISTRICT The Fife School District bus driver who had a medical emergency while driving children to school Monday morning has died. Ryan Callis, a 43-year-old father of three, never regained consciousness, his cousin, Reggie Green, of Tacoma, said Thursday. Callis died Wednesday at St. Francis Hospital in Federal Way, two days after an apparent heart attack incapacitated him while he was driving a 13-ton school bus to Surprise Lake Middle School. When Callis slumped at the wheel, two 13-year-old students on the bus sprang into action. Jeremy Wuitschick steered the moving bus to the curb and shut the engine off. Johnny Wood also ran to the front of the bus to help out. Wuitschick and Wood were interviewed about their actions in the āTodayā show studio Thursday in New York. Family members who gathered Thursday at Greenās house in East Tacoma remembered Callis as a dedicated family man who loved to fish and barbeque and devoted his life to assisting others. āHe was a loving and caring person,ā said Callisā mother, Audrey McCray. āHe loved helping people.ā McCray flew to Washington State from her home in Houston when she heard about her sonās incident and saw the dramatic video recorded by a camera on the bus and played on national television. Before going to work for the Fife School District, McCray said, Callis had worked for Pierce Transit for 14 years as a bus driver for special-needs children. He also worked as in-home health care provider, she said. This story was originally published April 13, 2012, 12:00 AM
Wow thank you for posting it here. That poor guy, and those poor kids š¢
Wtf happened?!!
Stroke, aneurism, or a cardiac event are all possibilities. ETA: Only article I could find said "apparent heart attack." This was in 2012.

Ironic that the kid says that the situation got his heart pumping while trying to give chest compressions to the driver who had an apparent heart attack lol. Impressive kids! Could have been a lot worse.
āHereās a cool storyā¦ā Yea, pretty cool and the bus driver? Suffered a heart attack? Not too cool.
Happy cake day! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks š š
Happy cake day! Thank you for this link. That last kid was incredibly well-spoken! Lmao
Thanks š š
A natural, heāll be great working in any emergency service
He lived?
He didn't... [https://www.thenewstribune.com/news/local/article25311982.html](https://www.thenewstribune.com/news/local/article25311982.html)
No, the kid didn't even start CPR. Looks like he tried shaking him to wake him up and then went back to his seat. But that guy was huge, so a little kid like that was probably never going to get effective compressions on that guy slumped in the chair anyway.
I mean regardless of the physics involved I would be pretty surprised if a kid that age actually knew CPR
Looks like he went for his phone to call for someone.
If my memory serves me, yes.
No he didnāt. He died two days later.
Great ā¤ļø
Was the second kid stepping up to help steer/stop the bus? Iām solidly impressed. Seriously, thatās one hell of a reaction response, especially from children. Amazing. I hope the driver is okay, though.
True hero right there. Saved all of those people's lives. Bravo!
Poor kids only reached 4 bottles of beer on the wall.
Lolll
Never lose your cool is a bit much
for real. acting like the kid had green barrette training.
The kid said that he read it in a comic book that you could take out the ignition keys to stop the engine. Imagine comic book knowledge saving your life
How old is this?
The bus and the camera are steam powered....
2012
Looks, like he gave up on steering too soon. They are still moving and he starts hitting the driver. Another kid tries to take over but they hit something. A for effort though.
So did the driver die or what?
Yes two days later
Prolly

Damn. That kid is Batman
Heroic
So what happened?? Yāall went off topic fast.
That one detail will resolve 90% of your biggest problems. āNever lose your coolā Your brain works best when you are calm, if you can resist the urge to let your emotions take the wheel you will have a higher rate of success versus the person who is absorbed by them.
This was back in April 2012 in Milton, Wa USA. The student that stopped the bus was 13 year old 7th grader Jeremy Wuitschick.
I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming in terror like his passengers.Ā

I'd have been screaming stuck in place with fear
I passed out while driving in heavy traffic a few years ago. My wife didn't simply stop the car, she somehow parked the damn thing - in a parking lot across the street from where we were. If I wasn't so unconscious I would have been terribly impressed.
Only one of those kids had the wherewithal to do anything. They're all incredibly lucky that he knew what to do instead of just sitting there, totally clueless...š People, please raise your kids to be more aware and proactive.
This is legit exactly something that happens in the book series āGoneā, which has some interesting complications with the main character. If anyone knows what Iām talking about please comment so I know Iām not crazy.
This thing has been downloaded and re-uploaded and screen grabbed and re-encoded so damn many times that it looks like shit compared to when I first saw it over a decade ago.
One time while i was on my way home from school on the bus, my bus driver started choking on a cough drop while going uphill, we started rolling back down but her daughter quickly hit the e brake. If she didn't have the intuition she had, we would've all been injured because we would've rolled down into a busy road. It was scary af
Another dies on the bus. Look out!
Second kid: Fuck it! We're going to Tijuana.
Those cameras were real?
Whoever added the music should stroke out next.
The girls in the front are using weaponized incompetence so that they wonāt be expected to stop any runaway busses in the future. Am I doing Reddit right?
Did the bus driver make it?
Dude is a hero
Stop the bus....or attempt cpr while the bus is still going? Hmm
Lose your cool? I'm more cool with the idea of getting injured in the buss than taking more shit from the math teacher
With how grainy this video is, it has to be 15yrs old. Did the kid ever go into something like hospital work or firefighting? He'd make one hell of an Incident Commander.
*coming soon to a theater near you...* #final destination: school's out
That could've ended a lot worse
Is dude ok?
wtf is this music
Omg! What happened to him? That's so scary
Kid was on top of his game
Looks like its just one kid that saved the day. The others were all just kids not knowing what to do.
I see a second kid get up and go to the driver to help. And I see several kids pulling out their phones to call for help.

heart attack
What? He couldn't try to do something before he no longer had control? Shiit I woulda atleast planted the breaks..
Nah you would be fine one minute thinking itās like any other day then you would be gone. If and itās a big if you wake up you wouldnāt have even known what happened
I get that thinking, but Idk ayy I think you would have a little time to react or not e you are not fine and on that realisation you stay in the moment. Like on the train, this girl was standing near the door while leaning on the side. She started losing it and she grabbed the side bar she still fell but she atleast went for it. We all went over and asked if she was okay, I told her don't be embarrassed and we stayed with her till she got up, started dizzying out again this time we caught her and gently lowered her down and then they got her off the train at the next stop. We think she was having seizures. Maybe it's not the same or not the same thing and I'm sure there are more extreme cases of completely losing yourself. I still belive though in a small part mentally consentrating on what you were doing and trying to avoid a nasty accident instead of going limp. Imagine being really drunk, litterally blind and your hands bound behind your back and you trip over a log. I would still try and do something lol
Interesting! I wonder what Gen Alpha would do in this situation?
How is that your takeaway for this? The fuck is wrong with you?
Iād hate to be this out of touch with reality I hope you get better soon ā¤ļø
